Breakfast: I always start with a small glass of goat milk kefir but usually forget to post it. Then had scrambled eggs and avocado.
L- l/c roll filled with ham, egg and lettuce. Yoghurt with blueberries to follow. I’ve found that Yeo Valley Organic Greek recipe yoghurt (5% fat) is the lowest carb and highest protein of the usual supermarket offerings (though they don’t all sell it)
D- leftovers - yesterday I cooked a beef boxeater joint. I’ve never had this before, bought from local farm. They said cook it long and slow. It looked very lean so put it in the slow cooker with shallots, herbs and stock. It was fabulous. Will definitely buy again. Today I had 3 slices in the sauce it cooked in, with steamed greens. Few Montezuma’s buttons.

Breakfast - I'd bought some more of the M and S no grains granola which I had with Kefir and a few wild frozen blackberries. I liked the granola when tried it first a few months ago and also did test my sugars two hours after first bite with my meter to make sure ok for me and all seemed good. However today although my bgs were ok and quite low two hours after - I did have quite a steep rise not long after eating which stayed high until it fell low just about two hours later. As I'm trialling a sensor I was able to see this sustained rise which wasn't picked up by my traditional testing. I don't have any real rise at all when I eat my usual eggs and low carb toast so I'm going back to my usual tried and trusted breakfast! One thing I did notice a few months ago when eating the granola was that I felt hungrier by late morning which should have made me think that I may have had a sharp rise and fall as don't usually get that hungry after a high protein egg breakfast.
.

I’ve also noticed I get hungrier earlier when I have this breakfast rather than eggs. I’ll try it again tomorrow after reading your report as I’m also wearing a CGM currently. Thanks for the tip off. ( actually I’m wearing 4 CGMs - as part of the ongoing Libra QC trials I take part in )

Out early again so delayed eating until after 12 when back home.
Brunch two egg mushroom omelette and salad followed by three squares of 90% chocolate
Dinner pork casserole ( slow cooked all day) served with a few carrot batons and drink of fizzy mineral water with dash of dry white wine. Followed by a low carb blondie warmed and served with spoon of cream.

@shelley262 I did get a small spike after the yoghurt and granola breakfast, but interestingly quite a significant drop about an hour after eating - thus is why I always get hungry after it I guess, as opposed to eggs. Thanks for mentioning it.
B- as above, yoghurt and M&S grain free granola.
L- lettuce boats filled with cream cheese, flaked salmon fillet and avocado. It was a bit bland so added a drop of hot sauce.
D- Venison meatballs, L/c pasta and broccoli. Meatball sauce made by stirring cream into the cooking juices and adding a splash of soy sauce. Saw this method in a DietDoctor recipe, it’s super easy and v tasty. Montezuma’s AB to follow.

Lovely-looking omelette, @Rachox. As always.

Yesterday I had a plain omelette on ham for dinner and during the day ate a lump of cheese. I rarely eat breakfast so today I'm having bacon and eggs with fried tomatoes at lumchtime. Haven't had a tin of salmon for a while so that's tea time catered for. Have a nice day all in the sunshine.

I'm having a carb- free day today. Fasting for as long as possible then I have 2 lemon sole fillets to break the fast and a tin of salmon or 2 dippy eggs (no dippers) later on if ncessary. If this all goes to plan, no-one will be more surprised than me!

Exactly the same as yesterday for me, but here’s a new pic!

Yesterday I had chicken for my lunch and fish for my tea.Today it's Pensioner's lunch day so I'll tell you tomorrow. Have a good week all.

Today I though I'd try a beef brisket in the air fryer. I didn't work very well. Here it is with savoy cabbage fried in butter, boiled frozen carrots, and a few roasties. I think I need to re-evaluate my "cooking". And use fresh carrots instead of frozen!
