Really? The label says 0g of carbs?

I've found that as well. I'll gain a lot almost immediately when I come off a low carb diet but within 5 or 6 days, that extra water weight has gone again. So do you think that if you were to come off a low carb diet for say a month, you'd put on the immediate water weight but then if you ate...

Not enough carbs? Not enough calories? Not enough food? I'm very interested on feedback as I'm trying to lose weight.

I tested last night and my BG was 4.3. When I woke up this morning, my BG was 4.4.

I've never heard of that before. I'll give that a go tonight. If my BG is the same or lower when I wake up, is that a good sign?

It seems to work for me. I have a jelly pot for breakfast and although that is essentially flavoured water, it does have 1g or so of carb so there's something there. I do have a meter but I've not used it in years. Do you think I might get a spike from a glucose dump?

B : low sugar jelly pot. Glass of water. Snack : low sugar jelly pot. Glass of water. L : Pack of chicken tikka satay sticks. Glass of water. D : Tuna mayo with red onion and lettuce. Baked mascarpone. Bottle of flavoured water.

That doesn't sound so bad. In fact, it sounds like a wee treat in itself.

Sorry to hear that, I didn't mean to rub it in :-(

When I'm working, I have a low sugar jelly pot for breakfast then one again for elevesies. When I'm not working, I have Asda's sausage patties. They taste exactly the same as McDonald's McMuffin sausages and are under 1g in carbs. Ideal.

Low carb dieting is definitely for me. I'm probably not as strict as everyone else as I do come off for maybe a week at a time and have a cheat week. Since I began, I've lost about 8 stone overall and completely come off meds - the doctors reckon that my type 2 has gone away so all good. My...

Morrison's range of 'Best' sausages are all really low in carbs and taste nice enough. Plenty of choice with regards to flavour as well - Aberdeen Angus, Pork & Apple, Chorizo etc.

Yeah, I'm the same. I've been using curry powder to make cornation chicken, garlic salt for seasoning etc.

I was just wondering if the likes of cajun spice or curry powder contain carbs? There is no information on any of the jars / tubs.

I have a pot of sugar free jelly when I wake up and then brazil nuts as elevensies.
