Not really My throat is still sore and voice croaky, blood sugars aren’t happy either. However that’s exactly why I like to keep my HbA1c low, so I have some wriggle room for occasions such as this. I can stand a small rise but still stay within non diabetic levels. Thank you for asking.
 

Thanks for this @shelley262 yes, it’s really helpful.
I’m really heartened to hear that you reckon my numbers will improve, in fact it’s made me notice that maybe they’re creeping down a little already.
My Hba1c was 120 on 23rd June 2018 and I got my meter on 25th and had BG readings of 17 -19. I went on Metformin on 27th June starting at 500mg now up to 1500mg daily.
Thanks again I’m now gonna calm down and be more patient.
 

Thanks jayney27
 

Thanks Goonergal yes diagnosed 27th June 2018 and started low carbing as soon as I used my tester regularly and saw all the spikes! Great to hear you think my numbers will reduce.
 
Hi everyone.
No time to post yesterday so doing it quickly now before I forget
B: smoked salmon scrambled egg avocado, coffee and cream.
L: Carvery at local pub 1slice each of turkey and beef. Broccoli, few carrots and cauliflower cheese. Followed by strawberries and the biggest scoop of clotted cream imaginable. I worried about the carbiness of the cheese sauce and carrots but 2 hr reading was 6.1, so I’m happy with that and look forward to going again.
MAS shared a bottle of champagne with daughter and her MIL in the garden while kids splashed in the paddling pool
D: small plate of olives, cheese and walnuts

@shelley262 I’m glad you had such a lovely day for your birthday and hope your son is able to join you for celebration #2 very soon.
@Rachox hope you start to feel better soon
@Geoffno6 good for you in sticking with the lchf way. I’m sure your numbers will start coming down soon. I saw a very gradual decrease for the first 4 months then suddenly everything seemed to click into place and now I’m rarely out of non- diabetic ranges. Good luck, keep doing what you’re doing.
 
Hmm, yesterday started well with a PB time for my most used walk. Carried on nicely with long needed catch up with P side of family. Next part was even better returning grandson and seeing/holding his nameless new sister. Went down hill rapidly with major foot problems usually associated with tail end of illness - have been off my best but really didn't see that coming. A few days of mega fluid and Naproxen coming my way. Menu below:
Breakfast+Mid morning snack: 1.5 pint mug tea @ 5.00 am; 2 more pints tea from 6.00 to 7.00; mango and lychee green tea after pb time dog walk - bad news is it really cuts steps taken! By 11.30 I was very hungry so snacked on piece of cheese left from Jurassic age and some parmesan
Lunch + Afternoon snack: Grazed at family gathering; cheese; pork scratchings/rinds;Olives; lemon drizzle cake we took
Evening meal: ½ homemade high fibre choc bar to take Naproxen
Edit: Now I see it in print could cheese be an issue although it is usually a goto safe option - I did have some olives and it was hot so Poirot may have solved it! Coffee off limits for quite some time!

I really must try this porridge just for something different it sounds lovely. B. Usual bacon and eggs wrapped in spinach. L.Real lemon in soda water and low carb bread, more of a cake really about 2 cards.D.Chicken schnitzels with 3 Brussels sprouts and cali mash and a stalk of broccoli. Was feeling evil so had chia pudding with jelly and cream for dessert. Might even be more evil and have a square of 90% choc.
 
Seems like you are having a wonderful break in Cornwall and enjoying some lovely food, enjoy it all x
 
I can recommend the coconut porridge, if indeed that's what you were referring too, I don't have it very often but when I do its a lovely treat, @Rachox is our expert, its her breakfast of choice every day.

Hi all. Feeling slightly ‘off key’ with nothing definable, but definitely not myself. Also very hungry today.

Breakfast - none

Lunch - M&S Serrano ham and manchego cheese rollitos, supplemented by Coop small pack of 4 chorizo and Gouda rollitos and 30g almonds

Dinner - 2 poached eggs, 3 rashers bacon, followed by lazy dessert of extra thick double cream mixed with almond butter and 3 Hotel Chocolat 100% buttons. Also ate 1 pack baked cheese found in Waitrose (see pic). Very small bag, but tasty.


 
The other day in Lidl, I spied these Skyr pouches. Allegedly there are assorted flavours, but our store only had vanilla there at the time.

I consumed this one earlier, having been in a meeting. It just knocked out the tummy rumbles I was having.

OK. Zero fat, but it would work again as a stop-gap, and being sealed, handbags are fairly safe from dribblages.

Evening all very good day with mum - managed to help her to have her first outdoor swim in uk for years in my friend’s pool but it was hot Spanish type weather! She absolutely loved it - it was a very special afternoon.
Breakfast boiled egg and one slice LC bread
Lunch olive oil hummus, celery sticks and lc seeded crispbreads followed by small slice of choc birthday cake
Mid afternoon after swim hunger! Lc lemon drizzle cake and yoghurt
Dinner trout on bed of asparagus with lemon butter followed by sf jelly and a couple of home grown raspberries and yoghurt
Planning taking mum out for day tomorrow to Leominster a nearby countrymarket town in the welsh borders.
 
Spent most of today hobbling about using a walking stick and taking way too many Naproxen. Food intake was really so that I had food with which to take tablets. Not happy with the menu but hopefully should be mobile by Wednesday - walking stick not needed just now. Menu:
Breakfast+Mid morning snack: 3 pints tea with h/m almond milk; 3 egg scrambled egg to take Naproxen; 2 pints water
Lunch + Afternoon snack: Avocado, Cucumber, Spam, Acv, water; ½ h/m chocky bar more Naproxen; 2 pints tea
Evening meal: Corned beef salad more water and more Naproxen

I love gin, and sometimes have soda water in it.



Did I really say that?

A couple of weeks ago, I made some Ginammon™ (Cinammon infused gin - made sous vide). It's outrageously delicious!

It could readily be done by the age old method of infusion, but I'm not too great at waaiting.
 
Hi All

Day 3 being back on the wagon and I'm being reminded of how tasty LCHF can be. Why on earth did I ever jump off the wagon in the first place?

Breakfast - jelly and cream
Lunch - Cajun chicken from Sainsburys and a salad
Dinner - chicken fajitas without the tortillas. Loaded with cheese and soured cream

I think I was a bit heavy on the fat today but I'm getting back into it all and trying to stave off any hunger.
 
Welcome back on the wagon! Hope you find it helpful to post here I for one find it really helps me knowing I’ll be listing exactly what I did eat later,!
