Out of interest, why can't they be eaten raw? I'm sure when raw mushrooms were mentioned the other day someone said they could be. Confused

Some can be eaten raw but some other varieties cant be xx
 
We were travelling back from a weekend away.....

L - Slice of apple pie (the area we were staying in is famous for their apple pie.... Or at least they are in San Diego County)
D - Fast food Chinese.... Did forgo the rice & noodles but had "House" Chicken & Beijing beef (way too sweet)

On a happy note FBG was 5.3 this morning but don't want to think what the spike was yesterday

B - slice of wholemeal toast and 1 oat biscuit with a cuppa tea (I was late up)

L - Fish, chips, mushy peas & tea

D - Angus beef burger in a wholemeal bun, topped with melted cheese & served on lettuce, tomato and mayo.

Snack - I don’t need any after my carby day! 😱
 
B - jumbo oats, almond milk, raspberries, knob of butter and a coffee
coffee
D - wholemeal garlic & herb Philadelphia and few slices of some sort of seasoned Polish sausage from Aldi lol and salted caramel protein bar

T - ham and mushroom omelette, charlotte potatoes, fine green beans (a load of ones from the new bag ended in the food bin after spilling all over the worktop 🙄) and 2 squares Lindt 90%

Why the slight rise between breakfast & lunch? Is it the cheese delaying the carbs & sugars? After yesterday’s drop I thought cheese would help sustain BS levels but, not at the cost of sustained high BS!

Slept around 12:30

16:22 woke up.

1tsp american mustard french’s 0cals 0g carbs
Not sure if that’s right for the mustard but, that’s what it says on it!

I’m sleeping less during the day & waking earlier so, hopefully either tonight or tomorrow will be able to sleep at night & be back to normal patterns!

Still having trouble with the delayed BS rise with fats. Just finished off the block of cheese, why it’s a bit larger portion this time, & have another pack in the fridge. But, will not open & eat it yet until my BS levels have lowered & stabilised. Will then have another go at it. Will ask dietian’s advice on this.

On a much happier note, I’ve shed the exrtra weight I put on while eatting like a pig when ill! 🙂

Tempered by a bit of frustration as I lost data on the nores app AGAIN! & had to recompile today & the last few days before I’d had a chance to copy & save it to the pages app. 😡
 
Today:

B- Greek yoghurt & raspberries. Coffee.
L- sausages & poached eggs. Squash
2x skinny lattes - costa
Squash
D- Baked Camembert with crusty brown seeded rolls. Glass of cava.

Might have either a yoghurt or some chocolate but trying to be good.
 
Have been away for a few days, haven't had chance to read forums yet. Hope I haven't missed too much.
I have been eating too much rubbish and not exercising enough, will get back into the swing of things.
