Sorry to hear you feel unwell. I have read that LC/Keto diet can lead to lower BP but most often occurs with people on medication which can often be lowered or withdrawn.

Have been a bit out of sorts - dizzy with low blood pressure (two consecutive readings of 93/65) - and also very hungry. On the plus side all the weekend’s chores were complete by 1pm. s.

Not the BG management more the idea that I am making big compromises with diet purely to get them. Pretty certain as numbers aren't very special I will see this out until next tests and properly follow my heart on how to manage this condition.Thanks. It’s not dangerously low, but the dizziness is a bit worrying. Sounds like you are getting a bit frustrated with your BG management - numbers look good though.

Hi all.
I also spent the morning cleaning @Goonergal hope you perk up soon though, you keep feeling a bit dodgy recently, is it all bp related do you think?
By the way Goonergal I read in the paper that Hotel Chocolate are suing Waitrose for copying their chocolate and selling it for £2 a bar instead of £16! I wonder if it’s the new one you found in Waitrose earlier?
@DJC3 I think these are the Hotel Chocolat copies

I had bother with low BP but I was on medication. As my weight came down so did the BP. They halved the doses and it's fine now. I was also reminded to keep my water consumption up. I drink about 8 pints a day. Everywhere I go water goes too.Hi all. Have been a bit out of sorts - dizzy with low blood pressure (two consecutive readings of 93/65) - and also very hungry. On the plus side all the weekend’s chores were complete by 1pm. Today’s menu was:
Breakfast - cleaned flat from top to bottom by 8.45am. Felt very dizzy and hungry so had a small portion of corned beef eggy thing.
Lunch - found some of the protein bread sold in Asda that was discussed on another thread yesterday. 7.9g carb per 100g (2 slices). Made it into a bacon sandwich. 0.8mmol rise after an hour, down 0.4mmol after a further hour so all good.
Afternoon snack - made a very small chocolate olive oil cake. Came out smaller than expected - less than 1cm thick! Quantities fine in terms of texture, taste etc. Ate that with some extra thick double cream.
Dinner - brined chicken leg followed by 3 hotel chocolat 100% buttons.
Well done. Keep making Fathead dough - it will become second nature and it is very versatile. Have you seen the 24 best Fathead recipes?Happy Saturday everyone
Well with it being Saturday and Eurovision tonight I had another go at Fathead pizza. I used a little more almond flour than the recipe called for and it turned out wonderfully this time - plenty to keep me going tonight and probably tomorrow too. The other half even has some garlic and herb dip left over from his Domino's order which is surprisingly low carb so having a real treat tonight! I used sundried tomato pesto, cheddar and mozzarella cheese, Mattesson's sausage, ham, turkey, and pepperoni as toppings. Can't wait to tuck in.
What is the cooking method? It might be an easy DIY thing using that pork scratching/parmesan coating we've been discussing.I'm really hoping the new halloumi chips from Aldi are going to be low carb, I did read they have a crunchy coating though so I'll have to see when they come out as it doesn't say what the coating is made from!
Yep - just had 2 squares. Still can't adjust to 100% though. Grandsons refer to the Lindt supply as Nana's special chocolate.Lindt 90% is great.
I'm so glad my days of house staging/viewings are over. You ended up afraid to 'live' in your own home. I know exactly what you mean about the constant cleaning. The one good thing with moving house is the clear out you have. Must admit though living in the house while building an extension was worse than moving house.Oh shame it was too carby, I was about to head off there and clear the shelves.
Estate agent will give feedback on Monday. Don’t think I can keep up this cleaning for long though.
We all experience this at some point and to be honest more than once. @Goonergal is right, your figures are good. What I miss is just the ability to have simple things just 'off the shelf' like a scotch pie, or an egg sandwich , or a packet of salt and shake crisps. A while ago I just said to myself "sod it" and had 2 triangles of egg sandwich. What it did to my BGs was enough to put me off trying it again!Not the BG management more the idea that I am making big compromises with diet purely to get them.

Thanks @maglil55. I still think the numbers are bit MEH. The diet comment is definitely not about hankering for old ways/favourites. It's about recently compromising by going OMAD and cutting back on salad and veggies to keep carbs down. I am pretty certain I will revert to a large salad every lunchtime and settle on 30-40 gms carb to accommodate enough veg to make me feel satisfied with my intake. Hopefully between the medics and changing walking routes I can up my exercise to achieve at least my current fairly modest results bg wise.We all experience this at some point and to be honest more than once. @Goonergal is right, your figures are good.
