I make a pudding which is fairly similar. I usually use two eggs and double the ingredients, but: For each egg mix 2Tbsp of almond flour and 1Tbsp of coconut flour, 1tsp of vanilla extract and 1 Tbsp of warm butter, when mixed add 1/4tsp of baking powder and sweeten it to what you like, stir...

These days I can't drink ordinary black tea - curtesy of Covid I think. I do however drink green gunpowder menthos, liquorice and mint and various fruit flavour teas, all without milk, and double cream in coffee.

As far as I can see there is no difference between brown and white carbs - but it might be because I chew what I eat. I just don't eat grains - a far better solution to the problem from my point of view. If the drain is blocked turning on the taps is not going to end well. I was eating a low...

Having had first Covid and then 'flu' I got a delivery from Tesco. It was very easy to do and could help on days where you don't have meals delivered. I ordered frozen mixed berries and veges, salad stuff, swede, yoghurt, cream, butter, eggs, lard, sugar free jelly, zero sugar squash and fizzy...

Remission, yes improvement in metabolism, again yes, possible, but we are still dealing with the same biological system that failed in the first place under the pressure of an environment beyond factory tolerance. Having had to deal with Covid and then the latest 'flu' only a week or so later I...

@Tartan4957 Are you sure you are on a low carb diet? If you are using the insulins as though you are eating low carb ( I have no experience of that BTW) but eating fruit and cereal there could perhaps be a mismatch. I find that my ability to deal with glucose is lower in the mornings, I tend to...

I have the 'flu' and my readings are really high despite hardly eating. I've never seen them so high - though I don't test regularly.

I have a halogen oven, a clever grill, and an air fryer, a pressure cooker - all sorts of things picked up over the years. A lot of them have both timer and temperature sensor so it is a case of tossing in the food and setting the dials, then it 'tings' or 'peeps' to say it is done. With the...

I add psyllium powder to the coleslaw or salad dressing Edited by mods to remove off topic information

@Bcgirl it would explain why my HbA1c was never in the 30s despite low tests after meals and no more than 40gm of carbs a day. When my HbA1c was 42 I lowered my intake of carbs from no more than 50 to no more than 40gm per day and a year later my HbA1c was - 42!!.

Well - I'd eat the tomato but don't include crackers, anything low fat or cashews as they are not actually nuts, they are rather high in carbs. I stick to 10% or less overall - other than the 85% chocolate I buy from Lidl, but I have not had any for quite a while. Wholemeal options are supposed...

There is really nothing to chose between them - most things made from or with grain are high carb, 60 to 70% It would be really easy to rack up quite an amount of carbs at the end of a meal with some different cheeses for instance. I stay away from grains and select foods which are 10% carbs or...

I would not. When using sunflower oil my skin was always florid and I used to burn in the sun - just going outside without factor 50 was agony - it was like that for decades. After a year or so without sunflower oil in my diet my skin was so much better, soft and supple, and I did not need to...

I have had a few frights with problems with my feet and I saw my grandmother dying from complications of type 2 diabetes. They really are not treats if it could put you in danger - I am over half a century older than you - I simply don't eat crisps or pizza, never have - I think I'd miss my feet...

@Richmy I could never lose weight when trying low calorie, low fat high carb - the usual advice for weightloss. As soon as I cut back on the carbs I lost weight without any effort.
