Hi - any low-carbers have any views on/experience with the above? Looks to be around 10g carbs per slice, around half the carbs of normal Hovis granary bread, but it's still carbs. I do miss my sandwiches so quite fancy trying it, I wondered what others thought

Nuts are great. I don't carry them around unless I'm out for a long walk, but I keep a pot of mixed nuts in work and snack on a handful or two of these plus a Satsuma to add a bit of moisture. Individual packs of nuts are expensive so I buy big bags from Indian sweet stores and mix them up...

I've been on the low carb diet since start of June this year. Fell off the wagon a bit over the last 2 weeks due to a holiday in France where I was tempted by a couple of pizzas and the odd croissant or 3. Nevertheless I've lost around 16 lb in this time and have just received result of my...

Yeah I like avocado - often have a half at lunchtime I understand a lot of peeps on this site use meters and test regularly, however I don't intend to go there right now because I would become obsessive about it and I don't want that. I kind of trust my body to tell me what's going on - I was...

You're right, my bad, just looked on myfitnesspal and it is a lot less

Choosing the right food can be confusing can't it? Before being diagnosed T2 diabetic I used to eat loads of fruit, on the basis that food didn't get any healthier - after all, we're being told to eat minimum 5 a day fruit and veg aren't we? Plus lots of fruit juice - has to be better than fizzy...

I've been T2 for just under 2 years and I don't test, so wouldn't consider myself an 'expert' on how different food intakes affect one's BG levels. However, I've just embarked on the low carb diet (3 weeks) and if it helps, I rationalised the removal of potatoes, pasta, rice and bread from my...

Thanks for all the advice guys. In the end I had a rashmi kebab (a minced lamb pattie with an omelette on top plus salad and yoghurt) then sashlick chicken (chicken tikka pieces with onions, peppers and tomatoes, but no sauce - salad and yoghurt also) plus a side of veggie curry - had to leave...

OK so I'm off to the Indian this weekend for a regular curry with mates, however this will be my first visit since starting the low carb diet. Normally a visit to the curry house would involve plenty of poppadums, rice and naan, but I guess I'll be kicking those into touch. A bit of reading...

Hi Guys and thanks to everyone for so many useful answers. I don't test so no idea what my blood sugar levels are, however after a dodgy week on the low carb diet (feeling tired, nauseous etc, as predicted) I have to say I'm generally feeling better than before on this diet. I'm sticking with...

Hi - I'm embarking on a low carb diet as I've read lots of evidence that it can reverse diabetes. I've cut out bread, rice, pasta and potatoes from lunch and dinner, that's not too hard, but breakfast options are trickier, because I like to start the day with something solid. So I've resorted to...
