    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Breakfast was one of my homemade low carb almond flour biscuits and a cup of coffee with double cream. Lunch was scrambled egg, tomato and bacon. Main meal was 3 x Sainsbury’s lamb kebabs, beetroot salad leaves, tomato, feta cheese and cheddar cheese. Plus, a bit of salad cream and chilli...

    What time

    We have usually finished our main meal by 6:15pm, but anytime up until 8pm, will have our dessert of double cream, sugar-free jelly, with a few pieces of chopped apple and pear. Then after that, will have one or two cups of tea and water, until bedtime. I’m a T2, so luckily, don’t have to worry...

    Lancet (re-) use

    I used to change mine every time, but don’t now. Probably change mine once every week to ten days, when I feel it is getting blunt.

    New(ish) Diagnosis Type2, trying to get/feel better

    Hi, my husband and I were mainly vegetarian, but I admit that since my diagnosis of T2 in October last year, I have eaten more meat, like steak and a bit of pork/bacon. The Linda McCartney range is pretty good though and I do have the “beef burgers” and “sausages” from her range. I also eat more...

    Sugarfree/No added sugar products

    I buy sugar free jelly and have it with double cream and a few pieces of apple. I also have 90% dark chocolate. I don’t tend to buy “diabetic” foods, although a couple of things looked nice on the website you provided the link for! Lol.

    Type 2 Help

    Low carbing isn’t too bad. I have foods such as salmon fillets, steak, chicken, beef burgers, ham, vegetarian sausages, bacon, eggs, cheese, salad leaves, a small portion of tomatoes, feta cheese, broccoli, kale etc. As a dessert, I have a small portion of chopped apple and chopped pear, sugar...

    Corona vIrus - interesting view by Professor Rupert Read

    Funnily enough Brunneria, I was replying at the same time as you, so didn’t see your reply until I had posted mine. Both you and my husband are apparently on the same page! :wideyed::)

    Corona vIrus - interesting view by Professor Rupert Read

    I think we should have acted much much quicker than we did. My husband reckons that had we done a lockdown sooner than we did, people would not have tolerated it. Whereas, communist countries are more used to being told what to do and do it, the U.K. civil rights folk would have been up in arms...

    A wee bit worried !

    Am glad that things are improving for you. When you look at how many carbs are in food, it’s really eye opening. I still have sauces with my food, but much, much less than pre-diabetes diagnosis. Most folk on here, myself included, are permanently on a low carb, high fat diet. I’m on pretty low...

    Type 2 Black toe

    Ouch! Sounds very painful. The fact that your toe has turned black so quickly, doesn’t sound very good. I presume it’s blood/bruising, but don’t know for certain, as I have no medical knowledge. You could go to A&E. I did hear on the radio, that because most people are staying away from A&E, the...

    New, confused, abandoned Help!

    Hi Louisa, it certainly sounds that you’ve been put through the mill with everything, but can assure you that you will not be abandoned by members on this website, as everyone is friendly and very helpful. I am not sure what to advise, as you have various medications, like Warfarin, and I am...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Today’s lunch was 2 x eggs scrambled in butter, along with some bacon and a little bit of brown sauce. Nice. Main meal will be salmon fillets, feta cheese and salad, followed by double cream and sugar free jelly. Yummy.

    Prof Roy Taylor

    In my opinion, calorie diets leave you feeling hungry and more likely, therefore, to fail, because you’d probably cheat, because you were so hungry. At least the LCHF diet leaves you satiated; plus, I think we purposely eat more vegetables. I know I do. I eat a whole load of broccoli and kale...
