Oh right - thanks for that Annette - I will just tip it down the loo then and cut out the middle man 😎

http://www.burgenbread.com/breads/soya-linseed/ - this bread, that has 11g of carbs a slice?
Pesto, when you can't see the ingredients can contain sugar. Careful with that one.
Also, be careful with flavoured water, check the ingredients don't have sugar in.
Cous-cous is usually high in carbs, are you using 'special' cous-cous?
Alcohol, well need we say more...it's sugar.

Having said all of that, what are your numbers looking like after each meal? On a new diet, it's always handy to check your blood sugar an hour or two afterwards to see how it affected you. That's the best indicator really. You're on the right path, that's what counts.

I use a Ketonix device to roughly measure my ketones which helps you understand what state your body is in too. Well done for starting LCHF, and good luck!

Alcohol may be sugar, but it can also lower BS levels as it gives the liver something else to do. In general, beer is bad (boo!), wine is ok (in moderation) & spirits are virtually carb free (also in moderation, but i've got to say that😉).
