I have to say, I hadn't considered brisket, but it's a perfect cut for the method. This afternoon I drove past an ad for MacDonalds, who are doing a pulled chicken sandwich. As a concept, rather than sticking to the sandwich idea, I rather fancy it, so I'll give it a whirl.

Back in the days when I still ate sticky barbecue sauce I was given an astonishingly good recipe for 'pulled' chicken.

Bung your whole chicken in the slow cooker on a layer of chopped onion.
Pour a jar of sticky barbecue sauce over it.
Switch on.
Switch off, 6-8 hours later.
Allow to cool.
Pull the bones out (takes 2 mins, because the meat is melting off)
Stir/shred the bigger chunks of meat.
Voila! Shredded barbecue chicken.

There really isn't any need to add water or stock, but the slow cooker must be on the low setting!
I suppose you could do it with mustard. Or any LC chicken sauce.
 
Bacon scrambled eggs, coffee
Brie salami salad, dressing, diet coke, pork scratchings
Homemade doner, lettuce, coleslaw, half tomato
Mug cake, cream, three strawbs
Tea
 
Breakfast: three egg omelette with butter.

Lunch: tinned mackerel & 4 squares of dark choc 85%

Peppadew peppers & garlic sauce ( didnt realise these were high in sugar till after- 26g per 100g!!)

Tea: pork steaks, roasted chilli butternut squash with cauliflower cheese & thick gravy.

Hows that?!
 
Breakfast: spring onion omelette, ketchup.

Lunch: Greek yogurt with cinnamon and blueberries. Creamy decaf.

Dinner: Quorn Swedish balls in ratatouille with grated cheddar.

Pud: blueberry and chocolate chip almond muffin.
 
Shared cheese omelette with the tiny 3/4 for me.
Bought egg and bacon sarnie on the hoof.
Pc chicken.
Spag bol but witg stir fried leek, cabbage and cauli in place of the spag
 
For a meeting with an agent, we went to this restaurant and I had green tea latte and ate fish with carrot curry and tapioca. After two hours I felt shaky and very weak. My blood sugar was 5.1 so I'm not hypo. Does green tea make you feel weak and shaky? Or is it because of the tapioca? Or am I just over analyzing?:)

Oh dear.

Had you been hitting the caffeine at all? i find caffeine makes me feel more wobbly than anything else. Did you check the 5.1, or accept it as true? I know you can comfortably run much lower than that.

I hope you feel better.
