Re-started pseudo Atkins. Feel better already. 🙂 Pseudo because I kind of do my own thing and don't follow the rules, that's why I don't lose weight. My portions are too large and I don't weigh foods. I need a decent scale and then will start doing this. A lot of food today...still hungry going to bed. 😱

Brunch: veggie hot dogs in Warburton's gluten free bread. Did not enjoy it at all! Glad to see the back of that loaf and go back to the Burgen.
Dinner: Thai curry made using a sauce in a jar from Lidl with baby purple, white & orange carrots, baby sweetcorn, green and yellow peppers, red onion, lots of mushrooms, quorn pieces and roasted cashews. Accompanied by cauliflower rice. Sadly the sauce wasn't up to the job and since i made enough for two meals I will be stirring in some cayenne pepper to the second instalment! Followed by strawberries and kiwi berries: first time I've seen these: they look like dark green bald gooseberries but taste like very ripe kiwi fruit.
Three dark Lindors.

B: 1 fried egg on wholemeal toast, 2 slices of bacon
L: Coleslaw with a tin of tuna and some grated cheese. Packet of Wotsits, can of Tango Free
I was doing well until tea, which was a standard buffet type thing as I was out at a meeting. So I had pastry, and it pushed my BG level up to 9.7 before bed. That's the first thing that's really spiked me. Which is sad because I love pastry.
