Low carb help..

[Deleted member 83869]

Any plain, sugar free, full fat yoghurt will do. Check the carb content and you could always add double cream.

Perfect thank you

Are you doing an online shop? You can look up the nutrition if so.
There is a low fat natural yog in our fridge at the moment (husband eats it) which is 6.4g carb per 100g so that isn’t too bad. I prefer Fage or Skyr myself.

Yes, I am. I have found one that is 5.1g carb per 150g!

Throwing myself straight into it isn't a good idea is it?? In regards to reducing my carbs... How much should I aim for per day? Meal planning is a good idea too isn't it? X

@ohitsnicola - I thought the meal by meal idea could be really useful.

We’ll support you - whatever method you follow. There is a Friday weigh. In thread too if you feel like sharing results...

@Diakat where can I find the Friday weigh in please?

Thanks,it's on the type 2 thread so perhaps I shouldn't join in or perhaps start another for type 1s

Pretty sure that a common cause overrides type here.

I started today.....well sort of! Didn't have breakfast as had a hectic morning, (swollen face and took my brother to the station so he could go home)
Lunch: some ham, cheese, cucumber and 2slices of ryvitas with butter and marmite

Dinner: steak and mushrooms

I'm still hungry but don't know what else to have.

More cheese maybe, or if you have any some berries with cream?

I have berries...not defrosted yet though! What cream is best??

Double or Extra Thick Double is my choice.

If I have this, I pour the cream over rthe frozen berries. The cream freezes on contact, so forms a coating. Then eat.

Deeeelish.

It is good. I don't have a sweet tooth, and only have a dessert every several months, but this works for me, to the extent I prefer berries frozen to fresh these days.

I don't think I've tried berries frozen, might have to give it a try! I have a very sweet tooth though haha

Large strawberries are a bit of a mouthful, but smaller strawberries, yummy raspberries and blueberries are fab. Raspberries are my faves
