Yesterday:
B: bacon, egg, 1 tablesp beans, half a slice white bread. Thankfully felt great after, and that meal is within my carb tolerance.
L: none
S: low carb muffin with marmite (see my post above, for recipe)
S: another one, with peanut butter. I am in love with them. I dont think they are like english muffins at all. I would say they look and eat like teacakes. Want to try them with spices (hot cross bun style) and cinnamon (cin roll style)

Today:
B: introduced Mr B to the Muffin Phenomenon. He likes them too. Bummer.
L: not needed
D: kleftiko and cauli cheese and assorted greenery and veg.

Are you taking supplements? Where does your nutrition come from?

Please remember that this is the 'Low Carb Diet Forum' and that this thread isn't for low carb debates :)
This was my tea.

B: 2 halva fat bombs. Mmmmm and a coffeesubstitute
S: a dough ball with garlic butter. This was Mr B's fault. He had deep pan pizza and garlic dough balls for lunch, on account of spotting them on the Tescos promotions, and the delivery arriving at 11 am. I was going to have more fat balls (of course), but he appeared, looking sheepish, saying 'you HAVE to have some of this. You wont want to be around this evening if you don't innoculate yourself against Garlic Breath.' So I did. And it was delicious.
The carb cravings hit 2 hours later, so I killed them with crispy bacon strips. :D
D: roast chicken, skin, cauli cheese, green beans.

A Happy, happy day.

No breakfast, followed by a HUGE physically challenging coastal walk.
Close bg monitoring by Libre (4mmol/l for about 6 miles of walk, no snacks to top up) gave me the confidence to indulge in a big salad and lasagna AND chips.
Bg rose briefly to 7 then dropped to 6s.
Wonderful result, but unlikely to be repeated in the near future.

Supper not needed.
