The fast continues. Bed 5.2 last night FBG 4.9. I didn't have a good night with legs and achy arms and I got up to 7.2 thanks to DP before the drop started. Having had a good sensor at only 0.4/0.6 under I should have kept quiet. Earlier it was 1.8 off - now it is 1 under (had to check as Libre decided I was 3.2 (I wasn't. I was 4.2).
B. Nothing
L. Nothing - just consuming water all morning
D. I really enjoyed
Rib eye steak with dijon mustard, 5 cherry tomatoes, 1/2 pack button mushrooms, fried egg and celeriac chips.

I was all 'saladed' out after 2 days using up leftovers with salad. Once again MFP reckons I'm anorexic as I'm under 1000 calories and it really doesn't like it.

Hello @maglil55 and @Chook thank you for the welcome back. We spent a super month travelling around Southern Ireland and I very quickly came off my low carb diet. As a result my bs readings were higher than usual and I have put on weight. So now I'm trying to get back on track and I find the discipline of recording my food here really helps. :)

I'm not sure where to post (brag) about how I'm getting on with ND - so I thought I'd do it here each Friday. So this week I lost quite a lot but most of it was plob I put on while on holiday - REAL weight loss was 2lbs :) and another half inch off my waist

So, Thursday....

Breakfast: black decaff coffee

Lunch: black decaff coffee

Dinner: Half of an M&S chicken thighs dish - not at all nice - with a Lidl protein roll and a large salad

Dessert: 50g Alpro Chocolate and Hazelnut icecream

Drinks: Apart from above mentioned coffee I drank sparkling mineral water

Celebrating a little today as my weekly weigh in showed that I have now hit the 5 stone weight loss mark.

Breakfast - none

Lunch - small mixed lamb/chicken doner kebab (no bread) with salad. As usual couldn’t eat it all.

Dinner - will be raspberries (defrosting) and cream and 2 squares Lindt 90%

L: two coconut wraps with a handful of iceberg, sliced cherry toms and a tablespoon of homemade coronation chicken (chicken, mayo, pataks korma paste)
D: is about to be high veg content spag bol sauce over oomi noodles, with a scatter of Parmesan. There are berries and clotted cream for later, but I honestly don't know if I will manage any.
