No, if you click on my avatar you will see it says Bundaberg Australia and at the end of all of my links they have .com.au which is the county code for Australia not the US.

It appears to me that geography is not taught in schools in the UK any more.
 
Breakfast: Two mugs of coffee with cream

Lunch: Corned beef (if I have any at all)

Dinner: Halloumi (cut in to chips) fried in butter with a 100% beef burger

Interesting idea with the halloumi. Will have to try that.
 
Breakfast - none

Lunch - needed the lunch I took to work. Ham with salad (baby spinach, rocket, baby plum tomatoes) and mayo.

Dinner - Roast chicken leg with sautéed broccoli, courgette and onion. 2 squares of Lindt 90%.
 
Funny day today - the intention was to test the effect of a different foods on BS at each meal although that got a bit overtaken by events
B - ate a single portion of Oomi noodles (not nice on their own) and in 2hrs my Bs went from 6.4 - 11.3!!!
( the rest of my Oomi noodles sadly went in the bin)
snacked on smoked almonds and some goats cheese for the rest of the day, sugars now happily in the 5's so I have just eaten a piece of my home made low carb coffee and walnut cake (2g carbs)

Alas, I had the last piece of mine yesterday. Isn't it delish?
B Boiled egg, half Lidl roll toasted with butter & Marmite
L Leftover fish pie, topped with mashed celeriac
D Home-made beefburgers, home-made spicy tomato sauce, home-grown french beans (doing well here) and steamed mushrooms, having read that steaming preserves the nutrients. Prefer fried in garlic butter. Might add it next time.
I fitted a Libre sensor yesterday and tested today with a slice of Mrs DeeJay's granary bread buttered with sweetener and cinnamon. From 6.1 to about 8.5 in half an hour. It's a relief to know nothing's changed. If there hadn't been much change I would have had to start experimenting all over again.

Ive just done the 2hr post prandial blood test on my low carb cake and the change in my BS is -0.1mmol.
