He just got another one out of the tin. And he told me to have a big cup of peppermint tea.
Breakfast: a piece of cheddar and some almonds and a cup of green tea
Lunch: 2 very small pieces of home made bread (yes it made me spike so I had peppermint tea and did some exercise biking and then it went back down to 6 within two hours) with home made butter and some salami slices.
Evening meal : a proper keto bread roll made from coconut flour and psyllium husk and butter and a cup of decaff coffee.
A bowl of home made ice cream - natvia sweetener, salted caramel flavouring and Madagascan vanilla extract, freeze dried strawberry pieces and double cream churned in my new ice cream maker. Shared with hubby.

That looks really delicious!
And looks as if the ice cream maker works well

Hi everyone,
I'm at a point of needing to re-visit my daily carb intake, as morning readings are creeping up, so Have decided to go back to daily carb diary. Thought that as an additional 'incentive' to tow the line that I'll maybe share it on here each day.
So this is how it went yesterday:
Breakfast; Greek yoghurt, blueberries, seeds, teaspoon of honey
Lunch: Home made Cabbage soup, with some smoked maceral added + 2 Finncrisps with smear of soft chees and teaspoon of honey.
Supper: Baked salmon with lemon and butter, tomato, mushrooms, peas and a very small piece of potato.
All not too bad so far but then:
I had made my husband a cake, and will power not strong enough to resist a slice. I've put the rest of it in a tin with a lid that is very hard to get off!
So my total carb count was around 130, which resulted in a morning reading of 6.7.
It wouldn't have been to bad without the 50g for the cake! - although honey is something that has crept into my eating recently and maybe needs to creep out again.

is there a link to a recipe anywhere?

So day 2 of my 'getting back on track' project:
Breakfast: Egg, turkey rasher, tomatoes
Lunch: Cheese Salad+ 1 Finncrisp with soft cheese and honey
Supper: Vegetable stir fry with left over salmon and a white sauce + glass of white wine
Snack: 1 Finncrisp with soft cheese and honey
Total carbs around 65 and also did a good exercise session.
But morning reading still stuck at 6.7 - it's probably going to take a few days to start to get it down.

Breakfast: nut granola, fried halloumi and four cherry plum tomatoes. 2 CWC.
I woke late, for me, and hungry. Making coffee, put the granola in the cup. Nearly added the water. Ooops. Obviously not properly awake.
Decided to go to town after Google maps confirmed distance. Long ride, not entirely without incident. But safely home with provisions and 40l of potting compost. After that scare am not sure I could do it again once lockdown ends. There will be so much more traffic.
Lunch: hungry again. Salad: lettuce and radish. from the garden, Macedoine. Two slices of toast. Was going to put sardines on them. But they were so delicious with just butter, that the sardines got a cold and slippy bed of lettuce, instead of warm toast. Then found some pâtè in the fridge. Jar was open, so i finished it off. Tea.
Dinner cup of tea. Chicken casserole, made two days ago. Steamed cabbage, cauliflower and a carrot from today's shop.
Glass of wine, later tea and water and more tea.

Lunch: three slices of tinned corned beef and 20g of home made wholemeal bread and butter and a teaspoon of baked beans.

Breakfast: Slice of toasted Livilife with butter - in a hurry, so no protein and felt really hungry mid morning so-
Choc-Ice
Lunch: cottage cheese, salad, mayo. 2 finncrisps with soft cheese and honey
Choc Ice
Supper: Plaice fillet dusted with seeds and a little flour, celeriac oven chips, green salad, glass of wine
Choc Ice !!!
Not a great day - about 100g of carbs, resulting in a 7.1 reading ( no exercise either)
I really should not have bought that box of choc ices, my husband has a tooth problem so isn't eating them, and they just sit there in the freezer shouting 'EAT ME'. I wonder if I can raise the will power to throw them out - probably not, it would be too much of a feeling of waste.
