I'm not doing bad on the low carb. Day 3 I think now. Yesterday:-
Breakfast: Pint water - 2 eggs scrambled in butter with a tomato and some cheese melted over - pint water and meds
Snack: My family just do 1 meal a day, I simply can't do it. Stick of woody celery with sour cream as forgot to get Mayo.
Lunch: Pint water and I'm ashamed to say 4 lamb chops, I know! I'm just so greedy. They were delicious with Brussels Sprouts with butter on.
Dinner: Tuna Salad and sour cream again which I'm not keen on, it was all very dry but needs must at least I wasn't eating the jelly in the fridge though I was encouraged to do so. :D I think these are mutant blackberries, massive, I ate a very lot.

My lunch today. Cheese and pickle omelette sandwich ( yes I have weird food combo tastes :rofl: )
About 38g carbs so ok for me. If I don't have some carbs for lunch I may head to hypo land by mid afternoon. Thank you gliclazide! No strawberries, I have picked them all.:(
