Sugar Fast Day 6

Breakfast = Porridge same as below but with 1tbs CHIA SEEDS! - google them to see all the health benefits!

Mid Morning = Black Tea + Carrot (note extra vegetable here!)

Lunch = Leftovers Millet & Moog Dahl

Cravings = STILL HIGH!! I must admit the mandarin did not rescue me today and I have eaten a cheese & honey sandwich . . . .

Dinner = Family Tea with the in-laws . . . question is, can i resist dessert?! ooooh will have to wait to find out!!

Will also be interested to see when these CHIA SEEDS start improving my health! :)

Day 5 - feeling lazy

Breakfast = Porridge

Lunch = Eggs on Toast

Dinner=  Creamy Millet, Mung Dhal & Veggies

Late DVD snack = Popcorn +butter + salt

HMMM probably feeling a bit crappy because of all yesterdays WHITE BREAD - well, that's my excuse
Also on review looks like i NEED to add more VEGETABLES in my diet!

Sugar Fast Day 4 - eeeeek

Sugar Fast Day 4 - its COLD but the sun came out!!

BUT alas today probably does not count as "sugar free"

Breakfast = 2 x slice toast + marmite + fried egg (minus oil since we have a flash non stick pan)

Mornig tea = Coffee at Church

Lunch = Black Betty's with friends + savoury fill crossant + long black coffee (Oh SOoo good!)

Black Bettys Cafe is a great place, LOTS of people love it as it is ALWAYS busy!

Cravings Nil = BUT I must confess that this mornings toast AND tonights Cheese toasties where made of WHITE BREAD! Arg its practically a sin BUT it was the only thing they had at the 24/7 bakery we went to laaaaaate last night after the gig. SO I admit I practically ate SUGAR for Breakfast, Lunch (crossant) and TEA today . . . .

Dinner = Left over soup from the other night and cheese toasties

Baking Sugar & butter free flap jacks right now (yes 10pm) - again not technically sugar free as lots of dried fruit.

Never mind MONDAY is a new day, a new week and a fresh start for my wee sugar fast.

Sugar Reading = DOH! Dates are just as bad a white bread when it comes to glucose! 

2wk Sugar Fast Day 3
