    Vegetarian/Vegan Low Carb Recipe Index

    I'm glad people are finding it useful :) I was going a bit square-eyed from staring at the monitor, so have had a few days break. Back to work on it soon, still lots to link to!

    Vegetarian/Vegan Low Carb Recipe Index

    One of the best ways to help is to point me in the direction of any threads that have particularly good recipe suggestions. Also, if you spot one in the list above that uses a non-veggie cheese, pointing it out (and suggesting a substitution, if you can think of a good one) would be appreciated...

    Vegetarian/Vegan Low Carb Recipe Index

    It's even worse when you read part of each post to make sure it's veggie-suitable! Then all the posts praising the previously posted recipe...if this doesn't motivate me to cook, than nothing will! I'll take your suggestion and look at the thread about what did you eat today for more...

    Vegetarian/Vegan Low Carb Recipe Index

    More than half-way through the Low Carb recipe thread now. The desserts are proving so numerous I might start a separate thread just for them!

    Has anyone taken the Coursera Diabetes - a Global Challenge course before?

    I've signed up for it :) From what I've read on here, it's the doctors and researchers in countries outside of the UK who're giving the good advice (I'm sure I read somewhere here that Sweden's got a really good system for diabetics), and all the doctors sound as if they're not from the UK! I...

    My low(er) carb journey as a veggie

    I didn't say I was going to stop at one! However, I don't like them enough to guzzle several in a sitting :) Hi @Aprilb1967 , welcome to the forum. Everyone's friendly and helpful, I've learned a lot since I joined.

    Has anyone taken the Coursera Diabetes - a Global Challenge course before?

    I found it while looking through all the courses on their website, and am considering taking it (it is free after all!). I'm interested in what you thought of the course, if you've already taken it :) It's run by the University of Copenhagen, and has 7 leading professors covering the topics...

    That sounds like @sunspots, almost like a bounty-flavoured yoghurt!

    Yoghurt - share your favourite low carb ways of having yours

    Wow, some fantastic ideas! It's making me more enthusiastic about eating yoghurt now :) I especially like the suggestions of grated dark chocolate, and the cinnamon. Wonder if adding some ginger in with the chocolate would be good? I need to experiment!

    Yoghurt - share your favourite low carb ways of having yours

    I've never been much of a yoghurt fan, and becoming diabetic has meant giving up the few (sugar-laden) ones that I did like. So now I'm on a mission to make Greek yoghurt/other low carb yoghurts my friend. From reading other threads on the forum, I've come across suggestions here and there...

    My low(er) carb journey as a veggie

    On course for a good day today :D I managed to pick up my favourite ready made lunch - Cauldron Foods Falafels at 5.8g carb/falafel. I find them super filling, so much easier to resist snacking through the afternoon. I also checked out the carb content of McVities Cheddars ,as I remember...

    My low(er) carb journey as a veggie

    Week 1 of low(er) carb eating - I didn't manage to stick to my planned carb amount, lots of old habits to break. However, I did reduce my carb intake overall, so I'm viewing the week as a small success. I know exactly where I went wrong, and know what to watch out for next week (a huge one for...
