[QUOTE="shelley262, post: 2308997, member: 455169"] [USER=530254]@Mauriac[/USER] well done on your choices re your meals out. fbgs can be strange but it’s good news that low carb is impacting - it can quite quickly. But, unfortunately,something called dawn phenomenon often kicks in - its the body trying to be helpful providing energy in response to waking up and releasing cortisol and no food often means that figures rush up during the morning until you eat. Some people find it helps to have a small snack at breakfast time especially if fat based - boiled eggs or cheese for example - can stop it rising as much. Alcohol the night before can also lower the fasting Bgs. you are clearly making progress well done and keep going. Breakfast after my fifth swim in a row - 250 lengths in total this week! - bacon,egg and half a toasted chaffle Made a new batch of LC seeded crackers and had some for lunch with sardines in olive oil followed by 100% choc Mid pm an odd tasting lc Adonis bar from a mixed box I bought a few months ago and put in cupboard - it was turmeric, orange and Brazil nut with coconut but won’t buy that flavour in future the turmeric made it taste oddly like curry rather than a sweet treat! Luckily only one of that flavour in the box! At least they are only 2g of carb per bar! Dinner sea bream in lemon butter with celeriac chips and green beans followed by DGF gingerbread warm with double cream. [/QUOTE]
