    Cows milk

    Hi I've discovered the best milk for me is Koko Coconut unsweetened milk, 0.3 carbs per 100 ml. It doesn't taste of coconut. Full fat milk sends up my blood glucose levels, and cream and fats upset my digestive system.

    Low Carb - Falling off the wagon

    Hi Andrew337 I'm in exactly the same boat. I've just returned from a week in Southwold and eaten everything that I wanted, and enjoyed every mouthful. I had fish, chips, peas, and tartar sauce, costing £16, at the Crown Inn in Woodbridge, and boy they were the best fish and chips I've tasted...

    Turmeric supplements

    We all react differently to supplements. Why not purchase some turmeric capsules, they are not expensive, and see if you reap any benefits. They are said to reduce inflammation in the body and will certainly do no harm. Some people swear by them.

    rosehip supplements

    I am Type 2 and have taken GOPO Rosehip capsules for several months, and they do not appear to raise my blood glucose levels. If my blood glucose levels rise it's usually because I've eaten too many carbs. Have the capsules cured my osteoarthritis, no, but they certainly help with lessening...

    Heavenly combination,keto naan and butter chicken

    Hi Julio9, I cannot remember exactly what my blood glucose reading was after eating the Dr Berg flatbreads, but I do know there was a rise. I decided not to go along with making them again because they are made out of almond flour and for some reason this irritates my digestive system. The...

    Heavenly combination,keto naan and butter chicken

    Right, continuing on from my previous post, this morning I made Dr Berg's flatbreads, and they turned out the best of the two. They definitely have more of a bread texture, and I recommend giving them a try, if, like me, you are searching for a replacement bread that doesn't send up your blood...

    Heavenly combination,keto naan and butter chicken

    Thank you for recommending these You Tube demonstrations of how to make Keto flatbreads. I actually made the Head Bangers version and they turned out really successful, and were quite easy to make. Also when I tested two hours later they hadn't raised my blood glucose levels, which was quite...

    Starting Metformin - need tips and encouragement

    Hi I'm not on any medication, but believe that eventually I'll reach a stage where I will need some help. One of my friends who is ninety years of age and eats anything is on Metformin and she looks really good and still manages to have quite a healthy social life. I've recently read that...

    Low carb v wholefood vegan diet to reverse type 2?

    I followed a high protein/high fat diet for two years, but never lost any weight, and suffered a lot from digestive problems. I think the digestive problems stemmed from the amount of fat I included in my diet - butter, cream, oil, fatty meats, etc. I love the sound of the Whole Life Diet...

    Seed crackers M&S

    One flat bread at a time is more than enough. Four would really be over the top! For breakfast I very often have two lightly boiled eggs and one flatbread spread with a good butter, and I enjoy every mouthful.

    Seed crackers M&S

    I think that M&S Sesame & Linseed Wholegrain Flat Breads containing 5.2 grams of carbs per flat bread taste much nicer.
