    Greek yoghurt

    250g twice a week. That's 7.5 grams of lactose twice a week in a very, very low carb lifestyle. I just want someone to tell me it's negligible ;)

    Greek yoghurt

    I only eat one meal a day and my diet is fatty meat, fish, cheese, eggs, a few non-starchy vegetables, oil, vinegar and sometimes nuts. So carbs are very, very low. I was diagnosed at 10% and my next HbA1c 6 weeks later was 7.2%, so I am guessing these foods are not a problem. Not that I have...

    Greek yoghurt

    I have a fondness for FAGE Greek Yoghurt (the full-fat version). It has 3g of carbohydrate (presumably in the form of lactose) per 100g - lower than many vegetables. I don't measure my bg, but does anyone have any opinions/experience on whether caution is needed with this product?

    Buona sera from Italy.

    I'm not averse to a kilo of good beefsteak myself. My wife thinks it's excessive. Women. Don't care. Two other nights, I just ate what I call the Norcino and Pecorino diet. With a good red. Love that, too.

    Buona sera from Italy.

    I was in Florence recently. I cheated on my LCHF, sugar-free diet the first, second and third nights: pizza at Caffe Italiano twice and once in an inferior place. Ice cream at GROM and Vivoli. I never cheat in the UK. Not worth it. All named places strongly recommended ... to the...

    Low Carbs

    I just ditched all food with non-negligible levels of carbohydrate straight away. I felt a bit weak and dizzy at times for 2-3 days and noticed some non-dramatic changes in bowel habit over the first couple of weeks. I don't weigh foods or count carbs or calories. I just eat the following...

    Type 2 Alcohol

    In this case, you can truly say 'it's for medicinal purposes'.

    Keeping The Body Guessing

    I feel I'm moving quite naturally towards 'one meal a day' in the early evening. Apart from that, I take just water or black coffee. I've heard a couple of people (I think Jason Fung, Caryn Zinn) mention the idea that if you get into too much of a routine, the body may adapt by lowering the...

    Anyone doin One Meal a Day (OMAD)

    I'm doing it more and more often. If a wave of hunger comes during the day, I drink water or black coffee and think of the money I'm saving.
