Hi Miss Toria! I too struggle with binge eating disorder and was diagnosed type 2 two years ago. I have had the same issues as you - restricting eating isn’t helpful for binge eating disorder and I have found it incredibly difficult. I still sometimes slip into the thought pattern of “it’s my...

I also dislike cooking and try to avoid long spells in the kitchen as much as possible. My meals usually consist of some variation of meat, eggs and some veg (all cooked in butter - I follow a keto diet). Lately with this hot weather I have not felt like cooking at all so I have been having...

As others have already said, by testing you will have a better idea of what you can and cannot have. I regularly make chocolate mousse for a treat.... 2 squares of Lindt 90% melted into 60ml double cream and a sprinkle of erythritol. Minimal carbs and feels very indulgent. :)

Excellent achievement, keep on keeping on! :)

You say you have one after every meal but you're doing OMAD - Am I right in thinking then that you only have one fizzy drink a day? I wouldn't say that's necessarily an addiction or problem at all. I have one can with my dinner every day although I'm sure I could sip on Pepsi Max cherry all day...

First of all, well done you on 6 weeks of keto! It's a big diet change and managing 6 weeks is a great start. Even if your weight loss is slow, it's still a loss! And the fact your blood sugars have come down is excellent progress. You should congratulate yourself on these little victories as...

Thanks for this, sounds delicious!

Saw the original article on BBC News and immediately came to the forum to get it debunked. Do love this place. Will be adding an extra rasher to my dinner tonight.

I did the same! Hope you had a wonderful time :)

We went cheap and stayed about 40 minutes outside of the city centre in Municipio III. You're right near all the action!!

Hi @Listlad, I just got back yesterday! Can confirm it's very easy to stay low carb - most restaurants we went to had a lot of meat or seafood options served with fresh green veg which was more than enough for me. For lunch we usually made our own and I usually bought a multipack of salami and...

Readings are never 100% accurate and there is a margin of error, so you may get a few different numbers even from the same blood drop! Always make sure your hands are clean before testing. As far as I'm aware using all fingers is fine and even recommended as repeated pricks to one finger can...

Amazing results!! Great job :)

Welcome to the forum - a new diagnosis can be very scary and confusing but you are in good hands here. As others have said - the lower the carbs, the better, but remember it is a marathon not a sprint and don't worry if it takes you time to get used to everything. It's a big life change. A good...

Many people on this forum have had success in lowering their HbA1c using LCHF but I'd be very surprised if your weekly diet classes actually promote this way of eating. Of course it is natural to be scared of making such a big change to your diet when you've been eating "normally" your whole...
