I just made some using your recipe. They wouldn't hold together so I added an extra egg and should of checked them earlier than the 40 minutes as they turned out quite brown. Tasty but dry. Here in Canada I'm used to a very moist macaroon so maybe they aren't the same in every country.

My day starts off with a bowl of homemade grain free, sugar free granola with almond milk and a cup of tea with cream. I had tried eating full fat Greek yogurt for about a month when I realized I hated it even with a few raspberries mixed in so stopped. Before I was diagnosed I would only...

I love that advice of "it’s not a diet it’s a lifestyle and I am eating normally for me".

I've been low carbing since November 2022 (diagnosed Oct 2022) and have reduced my numbers to a pre diabetes level. No medication for the past month and the diabetes clinic is so pleased they have discharged me from their care and handed me over to my family doctor. A big thanks to all on...

I think I remember reading that you are in Canada but not what province. I moved back to Canada (Ontario) abut a year and a half ago and needed to find a family doctor especially after my diabetes diagnosis. You can contact Health Care Connect, a service provided by the Ministry of Health to...

What type of nuts are you eating and maybe the quantity? I can eat almonds, hazelnuts, pecans and walnuts in any amount without experiencing any problems. As for Brazil nuts if I eat more than three at a time I do get that stone in the stomach feeling. I found out that cashews are not a good...

I did switch over to using almond flour for baking even though one kg of almond flour costs the same as 20 kg of regular all purpose flour. I figure my health is worth the expense especially to indulge in the sugar free keto recipes for "bread" and cookies.

I've been on 10 mg Jardiance for about 6 months now and haven't experienced any side effects.

For many years I have had skin tags and just thought it was something that ran in my family as both my Mum and my sister have a lot. I started low carbing in November 2022 and didn't realize that my skin tags have disappeared until I saw this thread. Both Mum and sister have been tested and...

I started low carb about 6 months ago but did not reduce my calorie intake at all. If anything I am probably eating more including things that I used to ration such as bacon and cheese. Started to low carb to help keep my blood glucose lower and the bonus is that I've lost weight and had to buy...

My feet sometimes feel like blocks of ice and my hands always seem cold unless I'm washing up the dishes. My feet used to be so warm I couldn't stand wearing socks. I've only experienced this since going low carb. My thyroid check was normal.

I was a little discouraged when I first started low carb as everyone seemed to see the weight drop off instantly. It took almost a month before I even saw a small loss and then it seemed like a daily steady loss. I started in Nov 2022 shortly after my diagnosis of T2. I have lost around 20...

They were so delicious that I have been working hard to ration them. Unbelievably they only improved in flavour and texture as they aged. I do believe I have found a new favourite cookie (biscuit). Plus they were so easy to make which makes them a winner as well.

I'm in Canada so I have never seen an ANZAC biscuit in real life but decided that if so many people eat them they must be good. I checked out the recipe from Aussie Keto Queen and made a batch this morning. I couldn't get the butter/sweetener mix to caramelize but that may be the fault of using...

My sister just gave me a counter top air fryer last week as her new oven had one built in. I love it. Meals ready quickly, usually in less time than it would take for my oven to preheat. I bought a keto for air fryer cookbook and there are so many recipes I am looking forward to trying. Love...
