Thanks for your reply, where can I get a recipie for ketog bread?

Good to know I'm not alone

By the way it says I'm insulin dependent which I am not. No idea where that came from.

Is anyone else struggling to cut down on carbs? I am fine for a week or so and then I have to have some bread in the form of a sandwich as I am hungry.My problem is once I have had some I crave more and binge on it. Food has always been my way of coping with stress as it is a form of comfort...

Try benacol drink every morning, it dropped mine by 2 points. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Low protein, plenty of veg and pulses, when you have protein have very thin slices of meat.

Keep readings as low as possible, cut protein by a quarter, protein is bad for the kidneys, it over works them. Avoid fat keep cholesterol down. Drink 2 litres of water a day.

Hi Carl, all I can say is "Ditto" I was told by GP and then left to get on with it until I see a nurse in 2 wks. I feel tired I achey and I am feeling really pants about the whole thing. I am an active busy woman and this is slowing me down big time, to much to do to be ill. And what do you make...

Hi all, Please help, I'm newly diagnosed, not seeing a nurse for two weeks and feeling upset and don't know what I should be doing, ie: some posts say eat carbs other's say keep away from rice and pasta, what's a girl to do with this conflicting advice :( I would be grateful for some sound...
