Yesterday.
B: Toast & butter
L: M&S piri piri chicken strips (these are vitually zero carbs)
D: Steak & kidney stew with 1 dumpling & 2 eclairs for pud.
Didn't test BG before, but was 7.4 afterwards, though I'm 6.4 this morning, which is a smidging high for me.
 
B: 1 boiled egg, large apple

L: mexican chicken (some carbs in the coating but not much) and large salad

D: same as lunch

Snack: 1 clementine.

Drinks: water and peppermint tea

Although this isnt much, I seem less hungry now that I am not having dense carbs.
 
Yesterday was at home alone which is really unusual and couldn't be bothered to cook so ate too many carbs resulting in a BG of 9.0 before bed !!!
So here goes :
B... Two slices nimble toast with peanut butter
S.. Two finger dark choc kit kat
L.. Prawn sandwich and a vanilla latte
T.. Two slices of toast with two eggs and mushrooms
And wait for it ... A choux bun !
I think I know where I went wrong !! Lol x
Oh well today is a new day ...
 
I often have a chioux bun & it doesn't affect my BG that much. Like the 2 eclairs I had last night.😳

Thank you.

I know Asda sell Burgen bread. I didn't know Aldi did. The pie and chips will be a rare treat. I usually make my own meals. Just bought a slow cooker/hotpot. Tried making some soup in it last week. Turned out OK. Lasted till yesterday.

For breakfast I have been having porridge most days with one or two sliced strawberries. Apart from that it is usually 3 slices of toast with either, occasionally cheese or Morissons low fat spread.

I haven't added any sugar or any kind of sweetener for at least 20 years. If I do have any kind of cereal it with either skimmed or semi skimmed milk and have been using this since I had a cerebral clot in 2004

I see a lot of people are on low carb high fat diets. That's interesting . I have been told by various people nurses, the Desmond team etc to go low fat.

Cutting down on the carbs is going to be the main thing with food.

I will have to look up the recipes on this site to get some ideas for main meals. A lot of the things I used to eat I can't even think of now.

Life is full of challenges!

Like I say there will be a lot of trial and error.

I walk for 120 minutes most days. When it is working I use the Turbo trainer for at least 30 minutes.

When I can get it working I am going to try high intensity to see what difference that makes.

I am a good weight for my size. 14 stone and 6 foot.

My main aim is to get the glucose levels down.

Once again thank you to everyone who has replied to me since I joined.

I will listen to any advice or constructive criticism.

Sainsburys do a natural Skyr, it says 'reduced sugar' in the blurb, but the ingredients only list the yogurt, so I assume the sugars are the naturally occurring ones in the milk.(4g per 100g)

I haven't tried it, I was tempted, but decided on my usual Fage Greek yogurt in the end.

They featured Skyr on one of those food programmes, showing how it was made - it's not actually yoghurt, but a form of soft cheese, hence the low carbs. It's also low fat and high protein 🙂
