It was an inadvertent intermittent fast I guess. I wasn’t hungry at breakfast so skipped that, meet a friend for a late lunch and we didn’t actually order food until gone 5pm so added a huge salad to it and made it dinner. Felt absolutely fine 🙂

Today was a 'naughty' day.
First thing in morning blood sugar was 6.7mmol/L
Breakfast - 1 Multiseed Ryvita with butter and blue cheese and a mug of organic white tea.

Lunch - three Burger King burgers with cheese (that's three patties - two from my bun and one from my husband's - he gets the buns and the chips) and eight chips and a bottle of water.

I then did a two hour shop for my mum and made sure I did a lot of stretching and moving about fast pushing a fairly heavy trolley and I even broke into a little jog back to the car - that counts as a workout in my world.

Blood sugar 2 hours after lunch was 7.2 mmol/L

Evening meal.
Four slices of peppered salami.
50g of lumpfish caviar mixed with a teaspoon of Philadelphia (the full fat one) a splodge of mayonnaise, a dash of lemon juice and some Cayenne pepper.
1 FRO multiseed crispbread.
four tablespoons of double cream (whipped by hand using a small egg beater whisk so I count that also as exercise)
a teaspoon of chia seeds and a tablespoon of strawberry jam (my keto chia seed recipe)
Drank three glasses of water and a cup of decaff Earl Grey tea.
Four squares of Chocologic chocolate.

Two hours after eating - Blood sugar - 6.7 mmol/L

2 brown toast/ cream cheese.....half a ball of mozzarella, 1 tomato, olives & olive oil, 2 mini crackers, sug/free jelly...... Pork chop gravy dollop of mash potato broccoli & cauliflower.

Hi @ NotworriedAtAll looking at your comment on your 4th HbAa1c (great result btw) and noticed you mentioned your blood pressure being high end of normal, as was mine last year (after a week long test at home twice a day) my pressure came come down to 'normal - phew! The only and best advice my nurse gave me was number one, top of the list is salt, reduce that and BP comes down quite quickly, she followed by saying increasing general movement (walking briskly) is also of great help. Just thought I would mention it as I saw salami and soy sauce on your list and they are high is salt. Hope you dont mind me saying. All the best.

 

[Eddy Edson]

number one, top of the list is salt

Yep!

I get white coat hypertension. So high end of normal for me is actually pretty good.
I need to have high salt intake on a keto diet because without carbs the body cannot hold onto water very well and dehydration and cramps become a risk factor. That is why I eat high salt items. Thank you for saying something though - it is always worth mentioning stuff just to be on the safe side xx
