I'm a bit confused! T2 on metformin. Been looking at diabetes uk website for breakfast ideas. Nearly all of the recipes are over 25g of carbs! Are they ok to eat? Trying to do lchf

Try looking at the Diet Doctor site instead for low carb recipes: https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/recipes

Something egg based is pretty good for a low carb breakfast.

You can also have a look through the low carb forum on this site: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/category/low-carb-diet-forum.18/

Not for me. High fat bf works best. Avocado with celery. I need very low to no carbs for bf but ramp up the veggies as the day goes on

Hard boiled egg with mayo, omelet with veggies , deli meat and/ or cheese, nuts. Doesn't need recipes nor to be complicated IMO

They are absolutely barking - I usually have some carbs with breakfast, but no more than 6 gm.

Lots of people recommend avocado at breakfast - don't they have carbs as well as fat?

Half a medium avocado is about 2g carbs.

Not sure why but avocado always makes me feel light headed. But I do love them
