low carb

Well my sister and mum were going to Tesco (not a Tesco Express this is a HUGE Tescos in Streatham, London) to grab some food for lunch (sandwiches etc for them) and asked if I wanted a salad or something.. I said I think you will find it difficult to find anything pre-prepared that is low carb...

Is anyone else getting problems with the Low carb programme web site. All of a sudden I either can't log in and or the site doesn't load properly. I'm worried as I'm starting week 1 meal plan tomorrow. I'm sent a message to the help team but issue still not resolved. Maybe it's because it's the...

Hi, I live with my boyfriend since 1 year, he has diabetes 1 since he was 16. His hba1c are always between 8 and 8.9. Because I am the one who cooks at home, I always try to make low carbs meals for us, to help him control the blood sugar level, because he has big issues to control it when we...

Hi all, I am a 33 year old male and was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes on 24 January 2017. I struggled initially with my hypers and my blood sugars were always quite high. Recently I have read a book entitled 'Brightspots and Landmines' and the author suggests a lower carbohydrate diet would...

I really want to go low carb but I'm struggling as I am used to having cereal for breakfast and that won't work with low carb! I can't face eating meat or fish for breakfast and wondered if anyone has any suggestions. Eggs are okay at weekends when I can eat after I've been up for a while but...

Not too long ago, I was at an education night for insulin pump users in my area. The discussion was on low carb diet and how it can help with type 1 diabetes. Has anyone tried it? I've been thinking about it since the session because I always thought it was a bad idea for a type 1 but it all...

Oh MY. I thought I was low carbing, apparently my carb counting needs some work! Just downloaded the app and input what I've eaten today and apparently im over target by after lunch (berries and cream, 2 cups of tea and an omelette) EDIT tea was being counted at 10g carbs a piece. Not cool...

Having just got out of hospital following surgery for esophageal cancer, I'm looking for a very high protein yogurt or smoothie that is low in volume but protein packed, as I can only eat very small amounts, obvs it has to be super low in carbs, not only for my type II LCHF but for my newly...

Afternoon, I was just chuckling to myself about how I polar shop Aldi most basic things (veg/cheese/some sliced meat) and Waitrose for other things (mostly meats). What are your favourite things and where are they from?

I'm a newly diagnosed Type 2 but I am trying and slowly getting to grips with things but please tell me; why if I have a meal one day, it gives me one blood sugar result and a week later, exactly the same meal gives me a totally different reading? I'm cutting my carbs down but last week, had a...

Hi All, Just wanted to share with you a pleasant surprise of support I got from my NP when I visited her yesterday about a different issue. She told me that she had shared my success story at a diabetes conference she was at the other week on diabetes management and "what's new"! She admitted to...

I am a newby to all this finger pricking stuff but I am slowly getting used to things. My biggest problem is breakfast. I am on the low carb diet which seems to be working (so far). I don't want my wife to end up cooking three times a day (I tend to leave more mess and pots so she kindly does...

Hi everyone. I hope I am in the right forum here. I am looking for advice on starting low-carbing, and the best App to support that. For background, I am Type I since 2000, carb counting since 2001, and complication free so far except for a smidge of retinopathy. I turned 50 recently. The...

i am inclined to believe that low can diet is yet another market-friendly charade to let you eat without too many restraint on quantity. What pinches hard is the call to intermittent fasting or to keeping the food quantities small. Restraint and self-control goes against the grain of market...

I know it’s slightly late and perhaps should of been posted yesterday but its wet and dull out and I think a small chuckle is nice at times like these.

I managed to get these down to 2g carbs per bun These are basically chocolate and orange flavoured Recipe: http://po.st/ketocrossbuns

We’ve all heard of and probably drunk a fair bit of bulletproof coffee, but have you tried bulletproof marmite? I sometimes want something savoury, and not full of caffeine - also I drink my coffee black, so I’m not a fan of putting butter in it. 1. Heaped teaspoon of marmite and a tbsp...
