Motherhen, have you considered dietdoctor's membership that gives you weekly menus and shopping lists? I will be joining when I get home from holidays. Apparently you can swap out recipes and the shopping list will change as well, like a vegan meal instead of a meat meal for example. Let me know if you decide to do that! I think it costs about $9 U.S./month to join. Price is right!! Blessings/L

Motherhen - There are scores of websites out other with slow cooker (Crock Pot) recipes, and plenty are low carb.

I like this website, but if you just Google Low Carb Slow Cooker recipes, plenty come up.
 
I like this website to but it doesn't give recipes.
 
With a low cooker, remember that lots of below ground veg like carrots have carbs in them at a level that make 1 OK, but not many. (Likewise with tinned tomatoes.) I now use a lot of carbage as a base along with lots of onions, then whatever spices and cheap cuts of meet I feel like.

I know.. completely shoots himself in the foot.. "I did it this way but you won;t be able to stick to that so here's more of the usual rubbish that you won't be able to stick to either but now I've got 2 books for you to buy". I have lost any respect I had for him previously with his dopamine diet book.

We need to remember his diet is not aimed at diabetics so may very well suit non diabetics to loose weight

Some will say even onions have to much sugar
 
Why do people insist on slagging others of who do not do the same as them it always sounds like sour grapes because of what they have had to give up eating.Tom Kerridge devised a way that suited him and enabled him to loose a lot of weight that may help others do the same but is not aimed at diabetics so does not make it wrong

I couldn`t agree more! he says in the intro that he used a mix of low carb, no alcohol and gym every day, he also goes on to say that this is not for everyone and he`s right! He`s not dealing with a diabetic group, just an overweight one and if I wasn`t diabetic I doubt if I would be doing lchf just for weight loss, I do it for bg control. I think it`s too easy to get wrapped up in your own lifestyle and end up thinking that everyone else thinks it`s as important as you do.
 
The problem is he used "low carb" and says he did because "low fat" did not work for him, yet he made a TV programme getting people to use "low fat"! While knowing all the time from his own experience that "low carb" is better......

(He is even giving someone with Type2 high carb food on his current TV program.)

No that is not what the complaint is about. Mr Kerridge gave up booze and carbs and lost 12 stone in weight (I'm guessing without counting calories). He then brought out his "Dopamine diet book" following his low carb ways.
He has now brought out a second book espousing low calorie food which as a whole load of us know doesn't help with long term weight loss. So we are wondering why (apart obviously from the money) he would advocate a diet which he probably tried and failed at rather than promoting the diet that worked for him. it would be like me saying hey you should all go vegan not because it worked for me but because some Doctor somewhere said its great!
 
For all we know he may have been told that the programme must not push lchf as it isn`t exactly recognised by the powers that be yet. Of course it could be as simple as he`s looked at his "subjects" and decided for his own reasons that a low calorie diet is the best way forward for them, that`s something we will probably never know. Only thing I know is that I enjoy the show even if I won`t be eating many of his dishes and I think branding him a sellout is ridiculously OTT.
 
I suppose, being cynical, that if he hadnt changed the food focus of his new book, he wouldnt have a fresh book to sell, as people would just stick with the previous one.

Condemning a diet because of the personal opinions of some here who say it is not suitable for diabetics is wrong. It may not be suitable for them personally but they are not experts on what is suitable for others We know only know what is suitable for us as individuals and if diabetics feel they want to try it they will know if it suits them or not
