Love your snacks! I've got walnuts, almonds, salami, Crackerbread (polystyrene!), peanut butter and Stilton. I'm a bit nervous getting other things at the moment. I'm trying to stick to 50-90 carbs and I need to lose weight, so am worried about fatty things. So far what I've eaten has been over on fats. I shouldn't go over 53g. It's the olive oil and vinegar dressing I have on salads, cream, butter, cheese etc. they are so high in calories. According to myfitnesspal I should go over 1400 cals.
Thank you, saved that one.I'm from the North east of Scotland , there is a famous recipe up here called Cullen skink, I've seen Nick Nairns make it and I love it. Main ingredient ? Potato!!! Well, I tried it tonight with cauliflower , best meal since I got this awful disease! Smoked haddock, half an onion, cauliflower, little water, double cream. Cook until cauliflower breaks up( at least 30 mins) deelish! You can pop in some smoked bacon chopped up small x
My guilty pleasure.... Marks and Sparks sugar free rhubarb and custard drops! They're a bit pricey, about 80p for a little box (they are by the till), but you only need one to satisfy that sudden desperate sugar craving so they last for ages! They do strawberry and custard ones too..... Sue xxx
Hello, I would like to ask what to have to eat to get rid of my sugar pangs. Also, can I have chorizo and salami (I know they're processed), there seems to be a few recipes using these. Thank you
Thank you very much Pamzy. I shall give that a goHello, I make flapjacks which aren't overly sweet, and have Agave nectar instead of ordinary syrup in them. Recipe as follows:
150g butter
150g finely chopped hazelnuts
4 Tablespoons unsweetened apple juice
250g porridge oats
3 Tablespoons agave nectar
Preheat oven to 190 deg / Gas mark 5
Grease a rectangular baking tin (or other, doesn't matter) with butter and line with greaseproof paper (I don't use the greaseproof and has always worked fine for me
Melt the button a low hat on the stove in a pan. Stir in the hazelnuts, oats, apple juice and agave nectar
Press the mixture firmly into the tin with the back of a spoon and bake for 20-25 mins (sometimes a little more), until golden brown
Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 10 mins
Whilst still in the tin, cut into squares. Once completely cool reove the slices and keep in a tupperware container or a tin.
I add chopped, dried cranberries to the mixture too, or I imagine you could use any othe dried fruit (being aware of course of the effect that they may have on your BG). These little flapjacks have staved off cravings for sweets and pudding many a time for me. Hope you enjoy them.
Hello, sorry, but how do you save from the thread? Is it just a copy and paste? ThanksThank you, saved that one.
You are very welcome Kim, hope you get on with them ok. I have been looking up Victoria Sponge cakes for diabetics on the net (oh yes, branching out now!!) as I really miss them - so when I've tested one I'll post if it's any good. Everything in moderation - even the sugar free "treats" like these! PxxThank you very much Pamzy. I shall give that a go
