I am on holiday in Crete so my eating habits are somewhat different from normal.
Also decided after 30 years that I will start eating fish. I wondered how my digestive system would cope but since I eat eggs and cheese it’s no stranger to animal protein, and I read that our gut biome is very quick to adapt.
Yesterday was a fish free day partly because the portions out here are so huge it’s still quite daunting for me!
Breakfast: half a banana, Greek full fat yoghurt and almonds.
Lunch: grilled vegetables: peppers, courgettes, aubergines and mushrooms; a few of Mr Radders’ chips; a beer.
Mid afternoon treat: small portion pistachio ice cream
Dinner: garlic mushrooms followed by a massive Greek salad and three large glasses of dry rosé. I even ate a few olives in the hope that I can train my tastebuds to like them but so far it’s not working very well. Eaten outside in a beachfront restaurant watching the sun go down. Holiday heaven!

My OH didn't eat olives until a few years ago but now he really likes them especially with some feta cheese.
 
B: Smoked mackerel & scrambled eggs
L: Some Kofte kebab thingy's from Aldi
D: Roast beef, peas, carrots, 2 Yorkies & roast potatoes

I'm off to Crete in June. Where are you staying? If you are anywhere near Sissi, there is a great restaurant called The Pink Flamingo. Does a great Gyros plate with no bread or chips, just the meat and huge salad. And his Kleftiko is to die for.
 
Went in Pizza Hut. Only been in once before, decades ago. Had chocolate milk shake with ice cream mmm, 3 triangles steak pizza, an onion ring, a circle of garlic bread, 5 fries and a small bowl ice cream, 2 bites mac cheese. Back in the day I'd have wolfed the lot and all the left-overs. My appetite has diminished, I'm blaming age. Sucks! On the other hand I had a thudding heart for half the afternoon. 😱 Good job I've ordered some strips, get real.

Koutouloufari, a village above Hersonnissos. Gyros would suit my other half but then he’d want the bread as well!

I have tried them again today on another Greek salad, chopped up small this time so bearable when eaten with a mouthful of other stuff. On the other hand that means every mouthful is spoiled by the taste of olives!
It’s weird: my other half has a very sweet tooth and can’t bear dark chocolate but likes olives and Guinness which I find unpalatably bitter. Makes you wonder how tastebuds work!

I take it from this you used to have milk in your coffee? if so is there a reason you aren't anymore?
Also be watchful of the Weetabix, although its one of the cereals we are told is 'safe' many find that isn't the case at all! haha xx
