Was returning to normality bed 6.2 FBG was also 6.2 and pre breakfast was 6.5. Boys were ready and waiting so no rushing this morning. Went shopping with Hubby so went for a coffee in M&S. Made the mistake of having 1/2 of a slice of their lemon drizzle cake. Big, big mistake 11.6 before descent started plus I felt queasy. Lesson learnt, no I cannot eat even a piece of 'normal" cake.
B. 1 Slice of Hovis lower carb seeded with pate. Tassimo Americano Grande with a dash of cream
L. Black coffee in M&S and 1/2 of the now dreaded lemon drizzle cake.
A lot of water !
D. 3 Diet Doctor jerk chicken drumsticks and a little salad of lettuce, tomato and avocado.
Aqua tomorrow thank goodness. Time for redemption!

D - nothing - seeing what its like to fast from mid afternoon to breakfast

I find it much easier to fast from dinner to dinner rather than lunch to breakfast or lunch to lunch. No idea why - no logic to it.

Good evening.

Breakfast - none

Lunch - breaking a 24 hour fast from lunch yesterday. Out for a colleague's retirement lunch at one of the hundreds of Turkish restaurants near our office - very strong Turkish community in the area and you can't walk more than 20 yards without passing a restaurant or kebab shop. Opted for mixed lamb shish and kofte kebab with salad, along with some cacik. Skipped the rice, chips and bread. There was something in or on the salad that tasted very sweet, but couldn't figure out what it was. Blood sugar up 1.9 mmols 2 hours later, which is a lot for me. Luckily I started at 4.4 so not too big a deal.

Dinner - small sea bass fillet sautéed in butter with kale and a squeeze of lemon juice; 8 raspberries and cream

Drinks - 1 mug tea with cream, 1 mug tea with milk, 1 Diet Coke, couple of litres water

 

[luceeloo]

Lunch: Cod pieces with salad and two baby beetroot.

Thursday....

Breakfast: Big bowl of Paleo Porridge with 40g blackberries (recipe below - it was very nice and comforting - thanks for the inspiration @Brunneria )

Lunch: Two slices of ham and one boiled egg salad - lettuce, tomato, cucumber, radish and a bit of red onion - and a little bit of mayo

Dinner: M&S King Prawn Bhuna curry and cauliflower rice

Drinks: The usual ... coffee with breakfast and for mid-morning, then sparkling mineral water for the rest of the day - must have been thirsty because I managed to get through nearly 4 litres yesterday!!

Paleo Porridge - inspired / based on @Brunneria 's recent Amazon purchase:

150g Coconut flour
150g Ground almonds or almond flour
30g Psyllium husk
15g of Splenda (or other sweetener to your taste)
10g Ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt

Mix everything together in an airtight container

Total calories for whole recipe: 1562
Total carbs: 101
Makes: 10 servings

One serving is 35g of the mixture
Giving 10g of carbs and 154 calories

Slowly stir in 275ml of COLD water in to 35g of the mixture. Allow to stand overnight if you want to eat it cold or 15 minutes if you want to eat it hot - if eating it hot then microwave for 4 minutes, stirring every minute then let it stand for a couple of minutes so it cools down a bit.

Edited to add:

After cooking this mixture this morning I added in some blackberries but it would also be nice with seeds or other fruit - and maybe different spices or flavourings - vanilla would be nice.
