Watch the Readybrek - used to really spike my blood sugar when I ate it.

Would suggest that you start testing your bllod sugar as soon as you can, otherwise you won't know what you're eating is doing to your levels.

Thank you @Kat100 and @Sable_Jan . I hope I am allowed to ask this, do your BG levels stay ok, as I am not sure whether the dried fruit would be a problem for me. I really need to consider these things as I change from VLCD.

Hi all, my first time posting on this thread, Ive really liked looking through all your meals.
@Rachox your food looks fab. What coconut porridge recipe do you use? Porridge is the thing I miss most with my new way of eating.

Here goes, today Ive had-

B: 50g halloumi fried with mushrooms, a handful of spinach stirred through at the end and topped with a poached egg

L: portobello mushroom stuffed with spinach and feta, served with leafy salad and avocado

D: chicken breast stuffed with cream cheese, garlic & leeks. Wrapped in bacon. With keto cauliflower mash and brussels tops.

S: few nuts. 1 square Lindt excellence 85% chocolate.
Few coffees.

Got some sugar free jelly setting in the fridge in case I get the munchies later
