Hi, I see from Tuesday's Diabetes.co.uk newsletter that members of the public are going to be asked whether they want calories to be published in restaurant menus, the government has announced, as part of measures to control obesity. I think this would be a good idea (Tesco already does this...

Having gone LCHF 18 months ago, as an example for my main evening meal, instead of having bangers and mash with say 3 cheap sausages and a huge pile of mash as I would have done previously( = carbs 150 odd grams) I now do, say, 6 ASDA Extra Special Leek and Black Pepper pork sausages (= carbs...

Gareth, I'm a T1 as well, I had exactly this problem when I first went LCHF in spring last year - and was already slim - I am 6 foot and was then ten and a half stone which was just within the healthy BMI range and I was quite happy with (you can check yours, just Google NHS BMI calculator)...

Also Tesco do carrot spaghetti in 300gram tubs for £1 in the vegetable section (next to the ready prepared stir fry stuff) it microwaves in 4 minites. It's really filling and I can only just get through two packs in one sitting. It's surprisingly low carb - 300g is about 10g of carbs (I think)...

I tried for the first time last night (with bangers). It was excellent and, I agree, very hard to tell the difference between real mashed spud. And it's really filling. Yo! proper bangers and mash for the first time in the 2 years I've been LCHF. Marvellous :)

Hi Red_River_ You said in a previous post 'My weight loss started only since I started low carbs diet, before that I was fine with a healthy weight' I'm a Type 1 and have never been overweight, and exactly the same happened to me when I went Low Carb about a year and half ago. I went from a...

I love the Burgen Soya and Linseed bread - it makes a proper thick cut sandwich with only 2 x 11.8g of carb per sandwich. But those blasted seeds get stuck in my teeth, which is a bit embarrassing if I'm at work! So if I make a sandwich for work I use the Hovis Lower Carb which is also nice and...
