I like cauliflower but don't like it as rice, although I have only tried it as "boiled rice" done in the microwave. I think I am going to try it fried like suggested in earlier posts.

6.3

When I joined a week and a half ago I was advised to get a glucose meter and test my levels to see what things I could and couldn't have. I test before a meal, 2 hours after a meal and first thing in the morning. I keep a little book of what I have eaten, the times of day and my results. I was...

At wake up time... Fri - 7.3 Sat - 7.2 Sun - 7.4 Mon - 6.9 Tues - 7.7 (went into ketosis) Today - 5.9

Yes in my opinion SW is one of the better diet plans for weight loss. It has only just recently started doing its own branded meals and every one is made from fresh ingredients none of these ingredients you have no idea what they are. Every pack has the recipe on the packet so you can make it...

The diet I did was lighter life, same type of thing as slim fast except you have no meals at all... 4 packs that come to 500-ish calories a day. They contain with in the 4 100% of what your body needs... After a about 3 weeks when the tiredness went I felt great, the weight went quickly and I...

I am writing down what I am eating on a food diary, but not weighing or measuring anything. I might try a tracker if I struggle, so thank you for the links everyone, I will take a look at all three. I am in ketosis, my sticks came today... My BS today have been good today too. With 7.7 when...

Yes the weight loss did make me feel great... A long way to go but I way ahead of my New Years goal. I am classed as morbidly obese, and I turned 37 last October. My New Years resolution was life begins at 40... So I would lose 4 stone per year over the next 4 years. That would put me at a...

cutting out carbs this week worked wonders for my weight loss... 6.5lbs lighter Thank you for the link... Some of the RH stuff I can relate to... Cold hands and feet, dizziness, brain fog. Some are not me at all like anxiety and mood swings. From reading the people seem to get really low...

I wasn't keen on the cauliflower rice to be honest, but do like it normally. May try some other strange veg mix next time. I haven't had avocado in years, didn't like it then, but going to get one this week to try again, tastes change so maybe I will like it now. I will ditch the Alpan this...

The rice is cauliflower rice... I tried basmati Monday and my glucose levels were 90 minutes after at 13.1 Carbs bad! Lol

Few questions, what's RH? Are carrots ok? Can I have nuts? (wanted a 40g bag as a treat after weigh in tomorrow) I am cooking in olive oil mostly. I used to use spray oil but have read when you cut out carbs you need to increase your fats. So I have been trying to do that. I have had 3 meals...

My post meal numbers are all ver but within the 2.0 after eating like recommended. Sometimes my post number is lower than my pre number... Other times higher. My machine does a weekly average and it's saying its 7.6 I'll write my numbers down so you can see what I mean. ......... Tuesday 7:20am...

Wow, that does sound exactly the same. I was wondering if I was doing something wrong with my diet. I didn't have my orange yesterday and levels seem around the same but I do think I'll keep it cut out for a few days at least to see. Other than that I am having no sugars or carb rich foods...

Thank you kristin, I am going to skip my mid morning orange today to see if it makes a difference over the day at all. Only way to know is to try I guess. I do have a question... I'm seeing a patten in the mornings and am a bit confused about it. I do a reading when I get up and before and 2...

It's not too harsh nosher. It's something you feel strongly about and I respect your opion. I can see where you are coming from with the carbs thing, but it wouldn't matter if I was doing a "diet plan" or not for a long time I have been eating carbs not knowing the damage its been doing to me...

Oranges seem to be ok for me so far... Only having 1 per day and levels every time have been lower 2 hours after than before. I have tested them because I have read mixed options on them, some people can't have them others can. Slimming world is real food, just because the diet allowes carbs...

I do like slimming world and before being diagnosed I have lost almost 2 stone. I still plan on doing slimming world, but cutting out carbs. Since getting the glucose meter and knowing that for me not even low GI carbs are ok my levels have lowered. 6.3 being my lowest today and 9.1 my highest...

All the information given has been really helpful. It's quite an eye opener what effects everything we eat or drink does to us inside without realising. After only one day of testing I can see I need to lay of carb braised foods, even the low GI ones. Pork, salad, morrisons sugar free cream soda...

I have got a few low carb recipe books on the way. They should help with my levels. 9.4 2 hours after the pork salad. I'm sure with the help of the books I can get them numbers lower.
