A long break from eating and writing about eating. We've been going through a stressful time lately, but thankfully, since I can't eat any carbs, I've not been binge-eating. Who wants to stuff their face full of cheese and nuts? It's not anywhere near as satisfying as cramming your mouth full of chips. Thus, another benefit of avoiding carbs is that you naturally moderate your own eating.

Breakfast: 1 slice Kinnickkinnick Candida, Yeast-free bread with butter and cheese, small bowl of yogurt and granola
Snack: Bowl of assorted berries: red and golden raspberries, grapes, fresh Québec strawberries and blueberries
Lunch: stuck at a street festival, we ate at a patisserie. I had a tuna, hardboiled egg sandwich which came with olives, tomato, lettuce and shallots (minus the bread).
Snack: Berry smoothie
Dinner: Baked pesto salmon with asparagus and 2 small heritage potatoes
