Hi @ freema Have you tried the konjac noodles instead of pasta? Or spiralised courgette or squash? They are the nearest replacements I have found. I think konjac are more rubbery but bearable. You need to find de the liquid off really well though

Hello @christopher52 I am experiencing fluctuating sweats then get cold. Often during the evening or night. My control not great my hba is currently 56. However I was a bit better with vlc diet so now I'm back from my hols I'm going to be working on it. Regards

I find 2/3 flax crackers (milled linseed) help and you can have them with all sorts - peanut butter, cheese, avocado, pate, mackerel pate etc I found they gave me stomach ache due to fibre increase for couple of days but then got used to them.

Really interesting thanks for posting

Are you really hungry? Sometimes I feel sick if I'm really hungry, this doesn't happen often on Lchf does it, but if I've drunk more alcohol and not eaten much I can go too low and have to eat toast. Only happened couple of times. Hope you feel better soon.

Why thanks but I'm 14st and old haha! Do you think lowering veg helps? I don't eat rice, bread, potatoes, pasta and the only bread I eat is burger or Lidl and that's now and again not daily. I walk 2/3 miles 5 days a week. I try to do 16/8 fast mostly. I drink red/white wine 3 times a week...

Haha it's not an avatar it's me! Yes I feel so much better on lchf but I just need to drop some weight. I've been type 2 for 13 years and have only discovered low carb last year. I find it hard to stick to 20g and prob achieve more like 40g but will keep trying. I know alcohol slows it for me so...

Yes I get hungry if I eat carbs too. By the way I'm 52 and my husband 65 so I'm not ageist (you mentioned your age in previous post)

Ye me too but I'm not good at sticking to 2 glasses [emoji12]

Wow well done,. Did you fast or just low carb?

Thanks for your replies, I think I'm just jealous at all these people shedding loads while I'm a bit stuck. I'm going to lower my fats slightly and restrict alcohol a bit more. See if that works.

Hi Yes it's good as it works out macros, calories and records activities. I would recommend it. You can also save recipes, so when you have put them in it makes it easier. Good luck D
