According to the Sainsbury’s website one litre of non flavoured kefir drink contains about 600 kcal of energy as well as the 40 odd carbs. That is a lot extra for your body to deal with and maybe is the reason for the weight gain?

I had my covid and flu jabs yesterday, at 17.30. BG an hour later was 5.3 before my evening meal. Today I had a slight headache but that went away after my meal this evening. BG was 4.5 before the meal and 5.0 after. Not had any issues with the jabs apart from a slight sore arm since the start 3...

Another example of an UPF causing the body to protest against hidden suspect ingredients! I am always wary of these processed “foods” they often surprise you, I try to stick to natural homemade foods so I know whats in them.

Anything with 30 plus ingredients is off limits for me, never mind the high carb content in a small bar!

Thanks, @sgm14 I had forgotten about have I been pwned, just checked on it and according to them I’m in the clear.

Yes it was on the Safari Home page, I've just rebooted my computer to see if that would make a difference but the message has not reappeared. I'll see what happens!

Looking at the rest of the site, just another load of useless clickbait

Goonergal and I joined the forum at about the same time, I always found her posts to be thoughtful and helpful as she built up a large body of knowledge over the years. A good kind person, she will be missed by all.

I just chop up a cauliflower, put in a food processor for a few bursts until it looks about the size of rice. Sometimes add herbs to the mix. Split up the "rice" into meal size portions (approx 200gm for two). Freeze. When we need it, put in a microwave for about 5 mins. Goes great with stews...

On New Years Eve we visited friends for a meal. The host has just been diagnosed as Pre-Diabetic and knows that I have been sucessfully low carbing for over six years. Despite this we were served a very tasty meal, but with pasta as the main "bulking" part, so not much chance to fill up. When...

Hi @Dalrymple , In a word, no. I don't know anything about medicines but if you reduce your carb intake to a minimum, you should find you pee a lot less as high blood sugars tend to make you want to flush out your system. However having said that I note you are "of an age" where you may have an...
