Er.... So basically change the whole recipe! DURTHIC Love all the sausage options. I'm still available as your official taste tester. Service is free. Cdn

Hello Eggs are wonderful and full of good things including healthy CH. Don't fear them. I eat them every morning and have no CH problems. Tomorrow they will be with salmon. Today they were with mushrooms. Cd

Great thread. Loving it!! But will love the products even more. Can I volunteer for an official taster role please? No fee required. Just lots of samples. First in queue I think. Cd

There is an assumption that I was addicted to carbs! Not so the reason I believe they are best avoided in high doses (for me that is no more than 30g a day) is that they are no more than glucose in disguise and will elevate blood sugars when over consumed. It is rather presumptuous for folks...

*sighs* Would you suggest to an ex-smoker they have aday off from not smoking? Or that a recovering drug addict has a break from being clean for a day? Cd

Can only agree! So why is it that so many on here want to take a break from looking after themselves because it is Xmas, a birthday, a bad day, name another reason. I'm not sure folks really get the fact that diabetes does kill. If you put off looking after it until tomorrow maybe you'll not see...

Hello there Beware of the hidden carbs!! The little devils lurk where you don't always look! For example the plums could have been around 20 g of carb depending on type, ripeness etc. if you are really intolerant that could have an adverse impact. Personally I'm very sensitive to carbs first...

Hello Maybird You really need to account for all the carbs stated on the label not just the "sugar" part. If I'm eating something whole I will put back anything greater than 10 carbs/100g. However with that Bisto (which I assume you will not eat whole but dilute?) you will have a very small...

Hello If you are serious about watching your diet then you will need to account for all carbohydrates which does include potatoes, bread and anything baked along with sugar in the dessert I think you refer to. So as donnellydogs says chances are you had around 75 g of carbs which could be the...

Hello MarkCass75 Good to hear that you are trying to get to grips with diabetes. Nasty thing but we can control it. I've quit potatoes completely replacing them with things like celeriac and swede which are much lower in carbs. Why not try cream instead of milk in your coffee? Also the less fat...

Hello TuTusweet I would sincerely hope that no one suggests that you stop asking questions. Great way of learning. Yes the objective is to avoid spikes which are generally caused by anything that turns to glucose through digestion such as sugar, fructose (inc fruit), lactose (milk)...

Again with the negativity Mongoose. Do you know how to be nice? If what you call evangelising saves pain and heartache then so be it. Far too many folks with diabetes don't get what it can do to them. A couple of bits of processed meat is the extent of it in my diet so no it I'm not having lots...

Whoooaaa hold on there. I'm not advocating a cauliflower diet! A low carb diet is super varied and delicious. Meals this week have included: Breakfasts - eggs and bacon, chorizo omelette, bacon sarnie in low carb minute muffin bread Lunch - asparagus soup, smoked mackerel salad, chicken tomato...

Hello VinnyJames It's best to only look at the total carbs (ignoring the "of which sugars" bit r net carbs). Personally I'll not buy anything that is more than 10g of carbs per 100g although even that high is rare. I found it useful to refer to the Collins Little Gem Calorie Counter book...

Mongoose Do you really have to be so negative? Just because you have a problem with things doesn't mean it's not going to work for others. Cd

Andrea Yes that is raw cauli into your food processor. You can freeze once processed so ready for next time. Try and keep "bite" in it when you cook it. Cauli mash as Douglas says is just cauli boiled and mashed. If you have a stick blender try using that. You can add grated cheese as well for...

I really have to disagree with Madbazoo in relation to replacing white grains with whole meal or white rice for brown etc for a lower carb diet. You will not achieve a low carb diet by following this method. A grain is a grain. A carb is a carb. Regardless of colour. Seek to eliminate them in...

Hello there Don't be afraid of eggs. They are full of good things inc good cholesterol. Cd

Morning I would be horrified to have BGS numbers of that order. I aim for in the 5's first thing and in the 6's after food. I do this through diet and exercise alone keeping my carbs to around 30 gr a day. As much as burgen bread is lower in carb then others I think it's nearly 10g a slice so 2...
