    Food shakes

    I could easily do that but take metformin and it upsets my stomach when I take it on empty stomach. I take it three times a day

    Food shakes

    Hi I'm type 2 following low carb as best as possible to keep levels stable alongside metformin but would like to start using a shake replacement once a day as I often skip lunch at work or don't fancy actual food in the morning. What does anybody recommend? I'm in England.

    I'm not hungry, how to make myself eat?

    What happens when cream, cheese and nuts don't agree with you ,what do people substitute these things with, and I'm not a huge lover of avocado. This is my second go at LCHF as I got good results but couldn't keep it up

    I got the receipt the other day for cloud bread, sounds a great idea for dinner tomorrow. Can you freeze it when cooked?

    Fasting and using Metformin

    Thanks everyone. I did use to have problems with Metformin when I first took it but this last month has been good. I often have my third tablet with just 3 walnut halves and have no side effects so think I might give it a go

    Best low-carb chocolate birthday cake please?

    I would need to have a week with you @RobPL as you have so many meal and baking receipes. I'm 6 weeks into LCHF diet but have kept to basic foods so far just so I don't stay too much in the kitchen but I think I'm in control of my eating and ready to try some new low carb meal ideas. Thanks so much

    Fasting and using Metformin

    BG levels are coming down well but I would like to do a couple of 16 hour fasts to see if this helps but I take metformin 3x a day and I have to eat with them, could I take them on an empty stomach ??

    High bloods

    Stop eating carbs, Potatoes, pasta all bread and go out for as long a walk as possible and it will help bring it down . six weeks ago my readings were 18 and I went on a low carb high fat diet and have readings of 6 now . I'm also on metformin
