Heartburn and Indigestion! BG very level today considering, I'm thinking I need new batteries or more blood on the strips. If you only get a tiny bit on there it doesn't give a proper reading I find. Like getting blood out of a stone though.

[Radders]

Yes it is. They don't always have the 81% in our local Lidl so when they have it I stick up. I sometimes make do with their 70 % which is also very nice and only 4g per square.

Felt saintly as only two meals this day, yet my bg shot up! Presume the tinned vegetables? Or maybe I just had too much chicken. Also, not allowed mushy peas on Atkins but I've messed up buying vegetables this week. Nightmare.

[Mark Parrott]

I wouldn't've thought eating a whole chicken would affect BG, Ditto, though some people have issues with too much protein raising BG. Peas & carrots are relatively high carb veg, whether tinned or not. I only have small portions of peas & carrots.

B: 3 large mushrooms stuffed with crispy bacon, goats cheese & golden Linseed.
L: Some nuts & a Nature Valley Protein bar. Had nothing in the house!
D: Sausage & bacon sarnie on Burgen.
Pud: Something I made up. Cream cheese, Greek yoghurt, cocao powder, sweetener & blackberries all mixed together.

BG 2 hrs after: 5.6.🙂

I must try that breakfast, but what is golden Linseed? 🙂

Golden linseed is sold in quite a few supermarkets. I buy it ready milled (grounded) & use it to replace breadcrumbs. Covering my mushrooms with it made a nice crispy topping without the carbs of breadcrumbs. Also use it as part of a cheesecake base & for breading chicken or scotch eggs.
