Thank you for that info Shelley. I'm not the best at understanding what I'm doing or what Keto is and how attained! I have cut out potatoes, bread, never ate rice or pasta so that was easy. Also cur out all fruit apart from berries. I don't even have milk any longer!Hi @Mal37 its all individual how low you need to go. Important thing is to cut the carbs enough to make progress on lowering your bgs. I started out at a 100g per day but realised quickly would need to lower and have stuck with a keto way of eating of usually less than 20g per day and never go above 30g ! The more you test after meals the more you’ll know what level of carbs works for you. Good luck
Sounds like you are going in right direction. I think best place to learn about keto how it works and best things to eat isThank you for that info Shelley.

Hopes he’s okay hug coming your way michele xEvening everyone. Ive had a bit of a stressful day in all
Started ok
B: 1/2 avocado and a scrambled egg. Coffee and cream
Off to gym class then
L: meeting friends at Zizzi ( looked on website for nutritional info but they don’t give carb count, just sugar, irritating) I waited 20 mins for my friends before realising I was actually in Prezzo not Zizzi! Quick dash accross town.
Had chicken and proscutto salad which looked like the lowest carb food to me. Didn’t fill me up so had one of the coconut macadamia bars when I got home.
I rang the vet this afternoon as our dog has been a bit off colour recently, they said they could see us so we walked down there ( quicker than driving in rush hr) waited for a blood test which showed massively elevated liver enzymes and said we should take her to the vet hospital - walked back home then drove up the busy A40 to the hospital where she’ll stay overnight. The house feels very quiet tonight.
D: too late really but we were v hungry when we got in and had streaky bacon, a fried egg, 1/2 fried tomato and a small Jersey Royal spud reheated. Still waiting to see what effect the potato will have.
@DJC3 hope your dog gets better and the weekend proves less stressful. I Jersey Royal should be fine they aren't exactly large.Evening everyone. Ive had a bit of a stressful day in all

Aww hope your fur baby gets better soon, such a worry when they are not well. Fingers crossed the late meal doesn’t add to your stress levels and tomorrow brings you a better dayEvening everyone. Ive had a bit of a stressful day in all

ordered 2 types of pork scratchings from amazon. to try.
the Posh ones are great, but I decided to try a different brand too. Scrutinised the blurb. No mention of gluten or MSG, but now they have arrived, the ingredients list shows both.
not worth returning, so straight in the bin. wouldn't feed them to the dogs.
1pm posh pork scratchings
6pm baked salmon and a small new potato in butter. Still stuffed 5 hours later, so smaller portion next time.
How many of you have a sandwich toaster lurking at the back of a cupboard thinking you'd never use it again? Think to more - Fathead Toasties. I feel a ham and cheese toastie coming my way soon. I always made my toastie in the George Foreman so I suspect they will work there too.

Will do.I practically lived on toasties as a student, this is a great idea. I too used a George Foreman grill in later years to make them. Let us know how you get on if you do it before me
I used to deliver training to different sizes of audiences. I tended to write most of the material which helped but is could get interesting if you were covering different topics in one day. One of my more amusing sessions was when the projector caught fire behind me and I knew the session so well I just kept going while they extinguished the flames behind me - just had to be more descriptive. The delegates actually said the visuals were excellent. I can tell some stories! I'm sure your the same.Hi everyone,
After my slighted elevated early morning reading, which I attributed to being anxious about clinic appt and the fact that I needed to deliver 3 separate training sessions to European based staff today, things settled down with some 5’s and a 4.9
B- cheese omelette made by my partner which was a nice treat, think he was trying to ease my anxiety
L- sliced roast pork with salad and yoghurt and herb dressing
Snack after work of a coffee with cream and small piece of choc oil cake
D- livlife bread made into a bacon butty with reduced sugar ketchup, well today was a special day after all

Lovely story thank you for sharing it. Yesterday’s training was a demonstration on how to use a new module in our database. I used Skype and screen sharing, spoke with colleagues in Spain in the morning, then the team in Cyprus and finally Italy. At the end of the month I will need to cover Ireland, still to decide if I will visit or do remotely again, then UK which will be a mixture of both I expect. I could have travelled to train our European teams but thought it was a huge waste of time and money for an hours training for each team.I used to deliver training to different sizes of audiences.

I had to travel as video connections were in their infancy and didn't work well. Any Dublin/Belfast sessions always seemed to be weekends but they were always obliging and shipped Hubby with me on these weekend work trips and there was always free time.Lovely story thank you for sharing it.
