Thank you to all of you who have replied, for your support. Maybe i need to bang both our heads together to get it right.

what is LCHF

My partner is a chef, but he doesnt cook like us brits - he's muslim so no jelly or pork allowed in house. He never does bowls of boiled veggies, always a handful in a dish, and most of the time laced with potato, even the salads. Ive tried to tell him. He does try keep the fats down, he...

Am I allowed to have cream, cheese, eggs etc when I have high cholesterol?

I have type 2 diabetes, i cant stick to a diet, but my partner is a chef and one would expect to have loads of lovely food in the fridge. Well, you're wrong! Nothing can stay in our two fridges with him around. He eats and eats, says his stomach is burning or he's hungry even shortly after a...

Sometimes I feel exhausted and go to bed during the day, my statin meds cramp my muscles and prevent me from exercising, im not a good runner, swimming bores me in pool, breathless, cant do sit ups. Got a exercise bike but no space in flat to pull it out. Ive always hated exercise, dont like...

Im also on a load of other meds anti-psychotics, thyroid, blood pressure, depression

I wish someone would help, just I just dont have a clue where to start or how. When i cut down or cut out carbs i feel nauseus with hunger, I am 16.5 stone, but only 5ft. Im on metformin. I feel on my own.

I have been refused strips, I had a few left, done it this morning and my god it was 24.3, im **** scared. I have just lost my sister to diabetes, i dont want to end up like her

surely a full english is not good for you?!!!!! I would put on weight with that. Im desperate for breakfast ideas that cut the fat, sugars and carbs. Cereals are no good for me, i feel desperately hungry again half way through morning which makes me turn to the carbs bread, i feel my head...

how much eggs and bacon can i have, but it wont last till lunch time. I'll be starving by then I depend on my carbs.

I have a similar problem. My BG is high 8.6 withmetformin tablets. My diet is poor despite having my own personal chef at home. I have been reading all your comments coz im scared of how it can turn out if i dont comply with the doctor. I dont want to be sticking needles in myself. Im at a...

I have lots of weight to lose too, and cant. I cant do without my carbs, I feel so terribly hungry that my head spins. I also have my own chef at home, but it doesnt help, as his food is so delicious. Sometimes I dont seem to care what I eat and how much. I dont want to face the fact that I...
