Yes, very easy and just costs a few pence. I don't bother with dates myself and am happy with a coarse mix in my porridge too.

Add some white bread crumbs and a few garlic cloves (raw) before blending and it makes a fantastic cold soup (serve with a handful of sweet green grapes and you are in southern Spain).
 
My yesterdays with before/2 hrs after BG readings.

B: 4 rashers of bacon & egg in low carb muffin (5.9/6.1)
L: 2 handfuls salt & vinegar peanuts & Nature Valley Protein bar (5.5/9.5)😱
D: Roast chicken & stuffing with roast sweet potatoes, celeriac, swede, carrots, cauli, broccoli & gravy. (5.8/6.2)

I've had better results eating a cream cake. Found out the coating on these nuts contained sugar, potato starch & maize starch. I really should've looked before hand.😳

Kaylz said:
I'm afraid I don't trust my fitness pal as I've looked at stuff on there and it has completely different information to the label in front of me! LOL, the alpro is great but then I've never tried any of the others so unlike others I cant compare any brands haha x
Click to expand...
I always check the info myself on the internet, or the packaging before I add to MyFitnessPal. I use it every day as its the best way for me to keep track of my food, I just have to spend a but of time in the evenings adding in all the right info.

Up and down weekend.

Friday:
B: Fried egg on granary toast with bacon
L: Hovis wholemeal granary sandwich with cheese, ham, cucumber and lettuce. Pear Skyr, and a packet of Wotsits.
D: New M&S salmon and hake tomato and basil bake with garden peas and sweetcorn (55g)

Saturday:
B: Jordan's Country Crisp, 50g with semi-skimmed milk.
L: Hovis Wholemeal Granary cheese and onion sandwich, packet of Wotsits.
D: Pork Saltimbocca with garden peas (55g) and 65g of Aunt Bessie's Vegetable Chips. Chips tasted lovely, but they pushed me up from 7.4 to 9, so I'm a bit weary of them at the mo, but something to consider if I can get my levels back down again.

Sunday:
B: Jordan's Country Crisp, 50g with semi-skimmed milk.
L: Cheese omelette with salad, out in a cafe. Not the best, but at least no carbs. Long walk after!
D: Scrambled egg and bacon on Hovis WG toast.
Snack: Have discovered mint Lindor........ (had two throughout the day.)

Would Flaxseed work as well Mark?
I get confused between Flax and Linseed 🙄

I eat to much @Beck S

You know, I'm honestly still struggling with the smaller portion sizes. People all said to me I'd be used to it in no-time, but I'm not. I'm always looking for snacks, mostly ones I can't then eat. But at least all the meat is free and clear carb-wise, that's one weight off your mind!

I'm concerning myself over my levels at the mo - since I came off the gliclazides, they're hovering between 6-8. I know that's still good compared to where I was before, but when I was regularly in the 5s before, I'm struggling. Feels like I've lost control over it lately and I don't like it.
