Just had the same brekkie (apart from the tomatoes) and it's a keeper: 2 hours later I've gone from 6.2 to 5.6. My best post-brek reading so far :-)

Day 1 of Week 1 of 8 Week Blood Sugar Diet - FBG 7.1 :(

Breakfast: Lidl Turkish Yoghurt with a teaspoon of Monin sugar free syrup (hazelnut). Cup of Tetley Redbush with vanilla tea. (This will be my regular breakfast while on BSD as its easy and yummy.)

Lunch: Vegetable stirfry - (hot and spicy) with some of those zero carb noodles (not had the noodles before).

Dinner: Pork roasted over fennel and leeks, french beans, roast cauliflower and some kind of green veg (haven't decided which one yet). I think I might be tempted to have a tiny little taste of the crackling. :hungry:

Drinks: Water, water and, yes, yet more water

I don't go back to work until Wednesday so I am in a cooking frenzy preparing loads of meals to freeze so I don't get tempted to fall off the BSD wagon.

I've made your spinach bread before - very nice - how well does it freeze? That soup sounds gorgeous. Do you use a recipe or is it an experiment?
