Hi just wanted to know if the KFC was forgiving to your BG lol and the Lidl rolls a really nice loads of people seem to be having them :happy:

The Lidl rolls are very nice - they're a bit chewier than normal bread but they're great when toasted. They can spike me if I have a whole one but having just half is fine.

KFC hasn't really been a problem, although the amount of it I had yesterday might have had an effect!

If you heat the roll for 30seconds in microwave it's not so chewy.:)

I prefer lidl rolls sliced and toasted then buttered or with cheese on top. Really nice sliced in to soldiers and eaten with a boiled egg. ;)

I had granola for breafast yesterday my BG went up to 14.3 today ii's 5.7 after omelette and tinned tomatoes, was the macdonalds worth it lol

Yes it was worth it I've LCHF for 14 weeks and had great readings, one day was worth a dip out, it was a one off though

Well, the Great Apple Cider Vinegar Experiment ended in a bit of a disaster. ...
I tried this but really couldn't take to it so couldn't stick to it. But there was no immediate pay-off. However, I have tried the red wine and cheese at bedtime (for dawn phenomena) and think it might work for me.

B - half a Lidl roll with philadelphia
L - A controlled experiment! - Sausage roll
D - spinach bread & pate

Someone couldn't quite believe how low carbing was controlling my BG. So, as a demo, we tested before and after I ate a big sausage roll. Before - 5.0. Two hours after - 12.6 !!

Wow! I'd have thought it might be lower due to all the fat and meat. Good experiment.
