What on earth size mugs do you have in your house? I've just measured out 300g almond flour and it fills at least two of mine! I would be very interested to make yours, as I have been struggling to find an edible recipe for some time: the best so far is Dr Mosley's Green Bread, bit...

I'll set you right alright - I think you are EXACTLY right!!! For a moderate carbing pre-diabetic who wants to lose weight - like me, and I think like the OP - only I do use greek yog. Tesco does very good comparatively cheap frozen Imperfectly Perfect Mixed Berries, if I keep the serving to...

When you are depressed it is very easy to get totally shut in a box - surrounded by fog - buried in ennui - until the whole world becomes impossible to cope with. You are absolutely right, talking to people is the answer, to depression, to difficulty with diabetes, so keep on trying to find...

I think a lot of sweetie foods have gone completely over the top with sugar - presumably because the white stuff is a nice cheap ingredient so the manufacturers have gradually re-educated the consumers to eat sweeter and sweeter. Bought a Lemoncello pud at our local Co-op as a special treat for...

Sorry, posted too soon....and I will post about the next version in a few days!

I had a look at the Gabi recipe a while back but got put off by the Splenda. Thanks for putting it up, I will have another look and try again, with "personalisation" aka tweaks. I really want to get a bread machine recipe going as it seems so much more convenient than making your actual...

Ooooh er. Then I never. 'Cos I am not clever enough to photo AND download AND upload to this site. Sorry! And I re-calculated the price looking on-line for cheaper alternatives, and the price went down to £2.00. Note that now I have looked up prices, whey protein is even more expensive than...

Er. Well. It came out sort of bread shaped. Actually, appearance and flavour both good and very similar to Lidl HP BUT it is a pretty solid lump, and also had a slightly ??slimy texture - not unpleasant, just a bit odd. But it is quite edible (for a given definition of...). Did I mention...

Right. It is in the breadmaker, on number 11, which I had to look up as I only ever used number 3 - wholemeal large loaf! Number 11 being fast bake ie only one lot of kneading (very high gluten doughs apparently sulk if bashed about too much.) The dough needed at least 400ml water. I used one...

I have had a play with the list of ingredients, and have come up with the following recipe, which may or may not actually produce bread as opposed to a half brick. I started from the 400g wholemeal loaf I used to make (in long-lost pre-pre-diabetic days!). 400g flour takes 250ml water, lose 20%...

Might it be possible to truly reverse T2 if you change other things, not just your carbohydrate intake? That is, not just reduce your blood sugar levels but actually get more functional blood glucose control by improving insulin resistance and pancreas function. For instance, I strongly...

I have a nasty feeling you are right. I do have two nice little hardback notebooks full of scribbles of "what i have eaten today" but there are an awful lot of pages with a whole days good eating then a thick line through and "nibbles" written across the carb total. Must. Try . Harder.

I feel a bit like your terrible twin - 16 1/2 stone, tried everything for weight loss, lose a couple of pounds and gain it again...only I don't think I have PCOS. And I wish I was still 45! I tried the 8 week and just couldn't hack it, my problem is I nibble. I eat a good (moderate carb...

Yes, quite agree Pura Vida, they keep pretty well if whole, and very briefly once ground! I like them as a very low carb addition to my non-cereal breakfast food, I just grind enough to make a batch that lasts a week.

Just a word about the other problems you mention - constipation and night cramps - both can be encouraged by lack of fluid intake, so do make sure you are drinking plenty (preferably non-alcoholic!!). If you are reducing carbs, increasing salt might be a good idea, but personally I find that...
