B: Decided, in a moment of foolishness, to skip and have at 11am as brunch. Took it to work.
10.00am - ravenous
10.30 - obsessed by the thought of the breakfast I hadn't yet eaten.
11.00 - ate 'brunch' - small portion of Greek yoghurt with the usual suspects added. From a Tupperware box. Licked the last remnants out of the box when I was alone. Felt about 7 years old.
L: Went clothes shopping to see if I'd fit into W30 jeans (been W32 for ever). Hallelujah moment when they fitted perfectly.
1.00pm - growing realisation that I hadn't eaten enough. Headache beginning. Emergency dash to Tesco (150 yds away) for 'hot and spicy' sausage. Not particularly hot or spicy, but hit the spot.
D: Fillet of sea bass fried in olive oil and butter. Green salad with couple of cherry toms and some 4-bean salad mixed in. Two squares of brie (narrow end). Spoonful of Greek yoghurt on the salad. Tangerine.

Moral of the story: Realised I need to eat breakfast before I go to work, otherwise I get no meaningful work done all morning. Another life lesson learnt.

Ah but you have come to right place then! This is the section for low carbers you see and for many, not all but many, low carbing helps immensly with normalising blood sugar.

Have a look at LCHF for example www.dietdoctor.com/lchf

Dr Josh Axe has been my method for 2 years Low Carb, as well as Dr Brian Mowll - functionally trained doctors are the best - and some of Mark Sisson's Daily Apple blog. Had Egg, cheese and steamed brocolli omelette - breakfast; Cauli cheese, chicken and Brussel Sprouts for dinner; some nuts for snacks and Almond milk hot cocoa and spring water drinks (I don't drink the tap water here as I have thyroid issues and the water is flouridated in this area; flouride is an antagonist of iodine). Retinal bleed has solved and blood sugars well down on this diet.

B: coffeencream
S: kale crisps with cinnamon and cacao - oh yes. My late night Amazon raid yielded some unexpected treasures. Only problem is that now all the prices have hiked. Either I timed my swoop perfectly, or my purchases made the sellers realise they had priced mistakenly low. Ah well, I shall enjoy every morsel and not reorder at the new silly-high price
L: mozarrella beef tomato and olives
D: courgette, mussels and prawns in cheese sauce smothered in black pepper. Lindt lime choc.

What is "Ugg bread"?

Ugg bread http://www.uggfoods.com/products/chia-seed-and-nut-bread
It is rather expensive but can be sliced thinly. Toasts well, good with pate, boiled eggs and making sandwiches!

 

[FranOnTheEdge]

In M&S. You need to be a coffee fan (I'm happy eating beans and drink 2/3 espressos a day). Said they were new, maybe on trial.

Thanks TwoPlayer, I'll look out for those.

Thanks Mongolia. I'll look for that one. I seem to be having a fair amount of trouble finding breads that people recommend, I was wanting the low carb Sainsbury's one, "Hi/Lo Bread with sunflower seeds" but they were out of it... At least the girl I asked had heard of it, most of the time people have never heard of what I'm asking for...

Yesterday:
BTEgg and Veg
2Yoghurts
banana
testing after each one, all fine, then:
D: chicken and veg cooked in the same tray that the Asda version canme in, mine was just as nice but gravy was thinner (I used no cornflour or other flours to thicken so...) tasted lovely though. But I fell asleep and forgot to test that.

Today
B:

Scrummy, but I can see I'm falling into a rut again.

Day 3 of Week 2 of 8 Week Blood Sugar Diet. FBG 5.4

Breakfast: Total Greek yoghurt with a teaspoon of Monin gingerbread sugar free syrup (much, much nicer than the Asda Greek yogurt but not as nice as the Lidl Turkish one)

Lunch: (same as yesterday) Cod wrapped in 2 slices of Lidl wafer thin Black Forest ham then baked with peppers, cherry tomatoes, fennel and broccoli all roasted together with a sprinkle of M&S smokey Firepit spices.

Work meal: bag of mixed salad leaves, raw sliced peppers, 3 cherry tomatoes, and some cold thick sliced roast beef (out of a packet.

After work supper: Individual bar of Aldi Moser Roth 75% Chocolate

Yesterday was interesting. I stayed within my 800 calorie limit but (due to extra vegetables) my carbs went up to 45g instead of my usual 20-30g. The increase only affected my BG a tiny bit and I stayed between 4.8 and 5.6 all day. The extra carbs seemed to give me a bit more energy which was great as yesterday was a very challenging day at work.

There are these lovely dark chocolate covered coffee beans, but....they do raise blood sugars.

Bother! But thanks for the warning.

 

[FranOnTheEdge]

Scrambled eggs in avocado oil or some other kind of healthy oil

Bacon or pork that has not got maple flavoring or anything else done to it, fried or nuked

tea (plain, skip the cream). You can have fake sugar but avoid the yellow and blue packet kinds

You can survive on this and it will not raise you at all

Oh dear! Avoid the yellow? That's the Sainsbury's sweetener, and the one I've been using. What's wrong with it?
