I’ve never been able to find it in my local Sainsbury. I buy from SRSLY, it’s not cheap, fortunately I don’t eat much of it so it last for ages (in the freezer).

I’m afraid I don’t have any real tips for weight loss. I found it just happened, even tho it wasn’t my aim, when I went low carb. Following advice on here I upped my fat intake and that stopped the loss. The diet I eat now seems to maintain my weight pretty well. From my experience I’d say...

I’m not keen on low carb bread as bread, but I occasionally have a bacon sandwich with it toasted. I do enjoy that. I buy bread and wraps from the Seriously Low Carb Food Company. I fry up a small tomato at the same time and add that for extra flavour.

Many thanks for your reply. I’m only going to generally add a few carbs in. I feel fortunate that I’ve been alerted at this early stage that there is a bit of a problem and try to keep my figures down for as long as possible. This site and all the lovely, helpful people are very good for that :)

That quite a large margin for error. I will remember to allow for that when testing. Thank you.

Many thanks for your reply. No alcohol was consumed. On your advice I redid the test 3.5 after starting the meal and there has been an upward trend. It was 6.9 mmol. Interesting, but I still don’t understand the initial drop.

Hi, I’ve decided to reintroduce some carbs to my diet. I was prediabetic but low carb, around 18 to 20 grams a day, got me back into normal figures. Today we were out for lunch and my choice of food was a three bean curry, tho I opted not to eat the red kidney beans, and it was served with...

No, unfortunately it seems they don’t. I’ve checked with him and the airline and he’d misread it. I’ve amended my original post.

Ah, I wonder if at a glance he saw low calorie and hearing me talking about low carb (all the time :)) he read it as that. He’s Out at the moment but I’ll check with him when he’s home. I have to say it surprised me when he mentioned it.

My partner has just booked to visit family in Australia. He’s flying with Qatar Airways and said the choice of meals was huge including low carb. Unfortunately he opted for vegetarian so I won’t be able to report back on their low carb option. ***So as not to mislead folk I’m amending this to...

Ah, okay thank you for clarifying. I think, as you say, I would probably find a Bramley too tart to eat as a dessert apple.

I did used to enjoy a Bramley in a crumble. I’ve made rhubarb crumble with a low carb topping, I’ll give Bramley apple crumble a go sometime soon.

Thank you for the reply. I stopped eating apples, I really should try one post meal and with blood monitor readings before and after. I do miss them.

Hi, yes I do enjoy nuts. Generally macadamia, Brazil and walnuts.

I’ve never tried these but will give them a go. Thank you.
