And just to stick my oar in re non-veggie mentions on this thread, even thought I'm a relative newbie on it ... If non veggies / vegans are reading, picking up ideas on the thread, and commenting on the recipes, photos etc then that's great. An active, vibrant thread is definitely a good...

Wow that looks fantastic. And such simple and relatively cheap ingredients too! Will await the verdict :)

Today B : Lidl roll with mushroom pate L : Coyo vanilla yogurt and 3 vbites falafels D : I'm thinking avocado salad with smoked tofu or bute 'feta' scheese. Plus some redcurrants and raspberries if the birds haven't got there first! And for snacks I've finally got organised and made more fat...

I can't seem to find a way to overcome this either :( As my weight is slowly going down my morning readings are too, but they're still always the highest of the day. It's so disappointing as I feel it's undoing all my good work, and when I get my first 3 month Hba1c next week I know it'll have...

@Avocado Sevenfold do you make your own cauli rice? I tried some bought stuff, and it's ok with lots of sauce (just!) but was pretty ewwwwwwww on its own! Used my cheap Lidl spiraliser for the first time this week on a courgette from the garden and the resulting courgetti was really good :)...

Well I've been MIA for a while, but back to posting now :)

Just reviving this post to say that I went to give my 3 month bloods this week, and yet again came away cross! Now I don't know how well I'll have done, as I still have a constant problem with high morning readings, and I've fallen off the wagon a bit with wine and the odd snack (though I've...

@Avocado Sevenfold how did you do the minty tofu? My new favourite 'cheese' was the Bute Greek style before diagnosis and it was just perfect in salads. So disappointed that it has 20+g of carbs per 100 :( I've been very erratic with my diet in this heat. I lived in Spain for a while as a...

@pms543 I've tried a few fat bomb recipes and have settled on this Base of coconut oil and coconut butter - roughly 50/50 but varies according to how much I have in the cupboard. I melt the oil in the microwave, then add the butter and melt that in too Then I add either dessicated coconut or...

B: Slice Bergen bread with marg L: None again Pre dinner: Lidl roll with sliced cheese and a few Pringles (and so it starts ..... This is my old habit down to a t! My comfort eating at its worst :( ) D: Mushroom, spinach and quorn curry Snacks: Almonds and a fat bomb as per yesterday

Mmmmmmmmmm this Tidy sounds rather delish!

B: One slice of toasted Bergen bread L: None. Didn't take packed lunch, and going through a bit of a food phobic phase again! D: Frittata with onions, mushrooms, cherry toms and a couple of tofu hot dogs Snacks: a couple of fat bombs. I'm keeping a regular supply of these in the fridge now...

I certainly have never had a problem with being veggie/vegan when it comes to lacking nutrients. And I've never been a routine taker of vitamins and supplements as I believe you everything you need is in food if you properly balance your diet. I remember me being a vegan mum-to-be back in the...

Hi @MikeinWales I was diagnosed 2 months ago with HbA1c of 96. It was a huge shock, but I was determined not to take medication unless absolutely necessary and went down the low carb route. From what I've read there's a good chance we can reverse this. I check my readings multiple times a...

IN I do believe that the EU is in need of reform, but I think that is coming, as there are many other countries that have the same reservations as us. The world is an ever smaller place, and to go it alone is not a viable option. I would rather be allied with our own continent than forge...

Congratulations JTL :) I have my first ever eye check on Monday morning and I've been really worrying about it, so it's great to hear that even if it's bad news it can be reversed. Yvonne xx

How disappointing ! I've found my GP practice to be quite organised in comparison. Immediate referral to a podiatrist and an eye clinic .. both of which came back with appointments within 6 weeks. When it comes to diet and lifestyle changes though, I've been disappointed too. The attitude...

Really tempted to give the tofu making a try. Can you easily alter the texture, as I mostly use it for cheesecakes and dips right now, so smooth and easily blended is the priority. And while we're on making stuff from scratch does anyone make their own yogurt? I like the idea of it, but...

B : half a lidl roll with a couple of vbites sage and onion slices L : the other half of the roll D : a Bolognese sauce with quorn mince and topped with mozzarella Snacks : a few brazil nuts, half a mini bar of raw chocolate, lots of cheese .... and red wine too. Been a really bad day :(

Hi Dazzeur Missed your post originally as I was on my hols, but I just wanted to add that I was where you are just a month ago. I was so upset and confused for the first few days that this had happened to me when I'm pretty active and overweight by not massively so. I was walking round the...
