Wow, Wotsits! Haven't had a bag of crisps since I was diagnosed last August.

7.8 carbs, so sometimes have a pack if I'm still under my daily carb limit, or as part of my lunch. My carb limit is 130g but I try to keep as close to 100g to continue losing weight slowly - got about 3.5 pounds to go to my target weight now 🙂
 
B: Yoghurt, Berries, Peanut butter
L: Home made bread roll, chicken, mustard, cucumber, yellow pepper, cheese
D: Stir fry prawns with pepper, onion, garlic, wine, double cream & konjac noodles. Plus some berries for pudding.

Snacks: a few oat crackers, almonds.
Evening: a night out with a couple of JDs and diet code + a single malt.

BG readings between 4.6 and 5.6 all day!
 
B: 2 chipolatas, scrambled egg and slice toast
L: homemade soup, pate, cheese, cracker, red pepper, tomato. half pear, half satsuma

Other drinks - weak orange squash, Pepsi max cherry

Below all daily limits except fat - 3g over
 
Wednesday:
Brunch: Scrambled eggs on 1 slice toast with 1 slice bacon.
Dinner: @ the local pub (3 tapas plates for £10) I had tempura broccoli (absolutely delicious), mushroom arancini and pork fritters.

Thursday:
Brunch: ham and melted brie on 1 slice toast.
Dinner: Belly pork strips cooked in home made BBQ sauce (Gordon Ramsey recipe), mashed potato and creamed spinach.
 
B: Yoghurt and berries with peanut butter, vanilla essence and cinnamon.
L: Walked into the city for a birthday lunch without the kids (They were at school!) and to pick up some vinyl from a local shop - broke my low carb diet for the first time in six months and had a hanging chicken and chorizo kebab with a portion of chips and a couple of G&Ts with slim fever tree tonic. Two hours later BG was around 5.0., so no spike at all. (Walk and alcohol probably helped keep it down, although I have eaten potato before and it doesn't seem to cause my BG to rise.)
D: Stir fry of mushrooms and veg with Konjac Noodles & an egg.

Dinner: Roast chicken, roasted carrots and banana shallots, roast potatoes (3 small ones), sprouts and gravy.

Can I ask where did you get this Sticky toffee coffee? Sounds interesting! I have a Beanies coffee in the Hot Cross bun flavour 🙂

I'm currently using Beanies Maple Fudge which is really nice. I normally have the Nutty Hazelnut and I have a Cookie Dough one to try next. I tried a couple of spiced ones like Christmas pudding and Mulled Wine over the festive season but they were horrible so would be interested to know how you find the Hot Cross Bun flavour? Not seen a sticky toffee pudding one yet but it sounds like it might be worth a try.
 
B: Berries and Yoghurt with peanut butter and vanilla essence.
L: Skipped, as I had a dental implant fitted in the morning and by lunchtime it was still a bit numb. Snacked on some cheese and oat crackers later instead.
D: Chicken baked with mustard and onions in a white win sauce with a portion of sweet potato fries. Happy to see a 4.9 BG to hours later, so I guess something is still working in the pancreas at the moment (Or the 500mg of Metformin is doing it..!)
 
Sunday:
Brunch: Chicken liver pate with Port jelly on 2 slices toast (29.8g carb)
Dinner: Leftover roast chicken from Saturday, freshly roasted potatoes, warmed up roast carrots and sprouts plus some peas to bulk things out. Melon slice, half a plum and some blueberries.

It's Beanies too, I treated myself to an order from their site at the beginning of last year (all in date until later this year) - https://beaniesflavourco.co.uk/prod...MI45HH7d7U9gIVhGDmCh0HyAKqEAQYASABEgL8LvD_BwE

I got 9 jars in total but only tried the sweet cinnamon (which is absolutely gorgeous) and I can't remember which other out of the lot I bought as I took the label off and most of it went in the bin (forgot about it in the back of the cupboard just above and to the side of the cooker so it stuck together 😳)

Barbara I have the Maple Fudge so might make that the next one I try 🙂

I bought a wee kilner jar to transfer them in to though in the hope it stays fresher xx

They have so many flavours! I usually see them in Lidl, I'd like to try more but don't know which one to pick haha

@rebrascora I am not a huge fan of the Hot Cross bun coffee, but then, I am not big on coffee anyway.

Talking about hot cross buns, yesterday I found a savoury, cheesy version in M&S. They really taste like the bread rolls with cheese pieces they sell everywhere, but in a softer texture. Quite nice. About 20g carbs per bun, maybe not good for those of you on low carb diets, but I assume they must be lighter than the sweet classic ones with all the raisins! 🙂

(They had a discount if you take 2 packs and I was VERY tented for the chocolate version but I resisted)

Our Lidl only ever got the small boxes of "sticks" in, those cheese hot cross buns sound ace, sadly not an M&S anywhere near me :rofl: xx

D - cheesy scrambled egg sandwich and a bar moser roth white mousse filled chocolate
mug of cafetiere coffee

I caved and got Bruce to get me a multipack of golden wonder tomato ketchup crisps when he was at the shop for some for himself last night so a crisp sandwich will be on the menu 🙄 not like I generally eat unhealthily and I did miss out for years so.... xx

B: Yogurt and Berries
L: Subway Chicken Tikka Salad
D: Rotisserie Chicken with mushrooms stir fried in olive oil with white wine, soy sauce and garlic plus a pile of roasted broccoli and cauliflower.

Also had a cappuccino during the day, and was pleased to see absolutely no effect on BG. (I stopped drinking them since I was diagnosed, but fancied one, so did some testing to see the effect.)

Gum seems to be healing fine where the implant was put in on Saturday. A bit of swelling, and a bit of bleeding on Sunday afternoon, but nothing since.
