Amazing, thank you. I'll probably get back to this thread several times!

Make bone broth by boiling bones with or without meat. You can add carrots, onions and celery for flavour (then remove), also some vinegar, bay leaves (then remove), garlic, wine, etc. Add parsley in the end. You can boil a whole chicken with carrots, onion and celery. If you haven't done it...

Hi, I am tandem breastfeeding, which is generally good for my sugars and apparently it is OK to have a few more carbs. The thing is, I get so HUNGRY sometimes and am running out of ideas without risking carb creep. I am also getting tired of the same foods over and over, resulting in hunger...

I second this, have a chat with medical professionals and see your options. I got into midwife and obstetric care at the very end of the first trimester of my first pregnancy, too late for the recommended folic acid. I had a very healthy baby, who is an absolute whirlwind of a toddler now. I...

Thank you. I used M&S Frizzantea in the end. It's like kombucha.

Berries, very dark chocolate, baked keto goods and fat bombs (recipes all over the internet)

I only just saw the thread, so my wish list is: 1. Glasses of good quality pesto 2. Good quality salami 3. San Daniele prosciutto 4. Super soft gorgonzola (I missed out on a really good one from Rome when I was pregnant) 5. Seed crackers What a lovely thought exercise :)

Good morning all, Can anyone suggest a nice sparkling wine without alcohol that's low in carbs? I am not drinking alcohol this New Year's. I don't mind residues, just don't want to get drunk, not even slightly.

Hi, I wanted to share a lovely recipe that got me through Christmas. https://lifemadesweeter.com/keto-gingerbread-cookies/#wprm-recipe-container-36712 I made them without sweetener and without frosting. I used the molasses though and was very generous with the spices.

To add, my mother has diabetes type 2.

Interestingly, I found some keto products in Finland, some with simple ingredients such as seed crackers. I sometimes appreciate them when travelling. Once we went to a café and found they had some keto items on the menu like coffee with ice cream and a cake. I had the cake, which was warm...

Does the bread include wheat or wheat gluten? I find that I feel a bit odd after eating the SRSLY Low Carb bread. I haven't been diagnosed with any wheat intolerance, but I have hardly eaten any wheat since diagnosis with diabetes.

Congratulations!! I can imagine the chaos, but I am glad your little one is well. Well done you and well done Dad!

Yes, I especially got rid of the extreme tiredness after lunch.

Quick update: My blood pressure was very high, when I went to see my community midwife on my due date. She asked me to go to hospital ASAP, which I did. I had an induction soon, which wasn't straightforward planning, because they were extremely busy 9 months after Christmas and New Year. I gave...

During the first COVID lockdown, when I was pregnant and my partner suddenly got fever, no tests were available and supermarket deliveries basically impossible to arrange, there was a lovely lady from the local market, who arranged egg deliveries via Facebook. I ate a lot of eggs then, and my...

I had 35 just recently.

I am making a massaman curry with a bit of swede instead of potatoes tonight. For any Thai curry I use Mae Ploy curry pastes. They don't have sugar added and are cheaper in Asian stores. I tend to use more meat and lower carb veggies, no sugar, then serve with cauliflower rice or salad leaves.

Nice thread. The next will be my 8th Christmas as type 2 and I've always stuck to low carb. I love goose, which is fattier than turkey, stuffed with sauerkraut and bacon. This or other meat served with braised spiced red cabbage, not sweetened, maybe stewed together with a chopped apple. My...

I sometimes use ground linseed, it is heartier and browner than almond flour, but works in some recipes. I use the 90 second bread recipe with it and make a cheesy vegetable microwave omelette with it (2 eggs, 34 g ground linseed, 28 g olive oil, veg of choice, cheese of choice, stir everything...
