Another question if you don't mind Bulkbiker. Do you do anything about the fibre when working out the carb count? Do you ever use net carbs?

Thanks everyone, I wasn't very clear in the OP I had worked out all the carbs but was getting different result. Bulkbiker had explained why very clearly thanks a lot. I wonder why the Americans don't just give carb count per 100g.

Pumpkin polenta - steam or boil pumpkin then beat in creme fraiche (or cream) and parmesan - yummy.

Hi All, New here but have enjoyed reading the posts and have learned a lot. My husband is type 1 (actually 3c learned that here) and got fed up with the constantly swinging BS so decided to give low carb a go. It's working well he's on about 40-50 carbs a day - about half of what he had before...

This is very interesting. My husband was diagnosed as terminal pancreatic cancer 18 years ago. We prepared for his imminent death. He was offered a drug trial to give him a bit longer so had a biopsy of the 'tumour' no tumour! Lying in his hospital bed he was bored and started to read the...
