Did you use your Tesco Clubcard? If so, that would account for the additional 50% reduction.

B: Zero, as had to drive No.2 son to take his driving theory test (he failed, but is being stoical about it). L: FF Greek yoghurt, raspberries, nuts, seeds, etc D: On account of the weather (hot), dragged the barbecue out of the shed as treat for Mrs C and No.2 son. Had 1.5 lamb koftas with...

I've tried them in the past, and they had a similar effect on me. They are seriously weird, and I've given them a wide berth ever since. The company that makes them (Storck) are also responsible for Toffifee, whose TV adverts are serious candidates for the worst adverts ever made.

Thank you so much, annb. I see what you mean about the price, but it's my birthday next month, so I might drop a hint to Mrs C...

Yesterday had usual breakfast at noon - small bowl of yoghurt, berries, seeds, nuts, then helped no.1 son move the last of his stuff from student accommodation to his new flat in Liverpool. No.2 son came along for the ride as he had nothing better to do. Afterwards, the weather being...

Yes, that was what EG tea used to taste like to me, too. I'm sure it's my tastebuds that have changed rather than the tea, so perhaps it's more to do with the ageing process rather than the change in eating habits? I'll post if I suddenly start to develop a hankering for Werther's Originals...

Also, if we're talking things we didn't eat before but do now: - chocolate with 75% or more cocoa solids - linseed mix (I only ever used linseed oil to protect my guitar fretboard) - yoghurt (hated the taste of it) - kale (thought it was only used for cattle feed) - nuts (other than salted...

Hi DJC3 - yes, I take milk in both. Have tried both without in an attempt to minimise the lactose carbs, and found the Earl Grey more palatable, but eventually went back to the white stuff. Just a natural born sinner, I guess. I've always loved chicken skin, and you're right - the crispier the...

Lots of pet horror stories here, but at least we should be thankful that - given the title of this forum - nobody appears to have given in to their hunger and actually eaten their animal companion, so that's a plus. Seriously, though, hope everything turns out well for your pets, DJC3 and...

B: Earl Grey tea, as usual L: Small bowl ff Greek yoghurt with strawberries, walnuts and linseed mix. Cup of coffee D: Roast chicken and salad. Snack: normally, I don't, but today I did have two (items, not packets) of Lidl's (very small) Coconut & Goji protein balls, as shown below. I've found...

B: stopped having breakfast ages ago. Couldn't face it now. Had cup of Earl Grey and glass of sparkling water with slice of lemon. Then mowed the lawn. L: Small bowl of full-fat Greek yoghurt (Lidl's finest) with blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, walnuts and linseed mix. One small slice...

Try this: https://thebloodsugardiet.com/. Worked for me five years ago and my health has improved massively as a result.

Hi David, For what it's worth, here's my experience. I was diagnosed as Pre-D in 2016. GP told me I'd need to go on statins in near future. I decided instead to read Michael Mosley's 'The 8-Week Blood Sugar Diet' (which I note others have suggested above). If you can't find the book, here's...

Saturday: B: Cup of tea Mid-morning (10.30am): bowl of porridge with blueberries, raspberries, linseed mix and a spoonful of Greek yoghurt (for creamy texture). L: Wasn't hungry D (7.30pm): Sliced apple, half red pepper (cut into strips), 5-6 pieces of chorizo, same amount cheddar cheese, 1.5...

I was diagnosed pre-D in Jan this year (which was a shock - I thought I had gout), so went out and bought Michael Mosley's book 'The 8-week Blood Sugar Diet'. I'd never dieted before, so had nothing to compare it against. I followed it pretty rigorously for a couple of months and lost 2 stone...
