YES!!! haha at least for myself the absence of carbs and sugar has definitely changed my taste buds without a doubt! I wonder if that's what happens in reverse with smokers who quit as my late husband always swore that food suddenly tasted so much better?

@Margarettt my goodness I am SO like you .. or at least I was until this forum ... plus online video's by Dr Pradip Jamnadas eventually drilled through my skull and the lightbulb came on! I even went off the forum at first as I just couldn't understand what A1c blood tests meant or what carbs...

I think .. as most seem to ,, that it's purely down to you and how you'd feel only having liquids for all that time. I've never tried a soup, shake or liquid diet but when I do my two or three day water fasts I am always ready to feel 'real food' in my mouth again :D Go ahead! Anythings worth a...

That's interesting too @ianf0ster ! Could that be because you are mentally expecting your meal by 4.30/5.30pm and have delayed it perhaps

I am not Type 1 but my go to snacks areusually a small handful of either Walnuts or Pecans or a square of Lindt 85% dark chocolate :)

Interesting as I always thought that eating early effectively raises insulin more than later eating! I tend to eat only between the hours of (earliest) midday and (latest) 5pm so I wonder where that puts me!

Hi @MimT and welcome Your post particularly 'grabbed' my attention because, just like yourself, I too was shocked to be called in to see my GP and told this news and I too also had no weight issues or family members with the condition. It took me ages to realise that carbs were a problem for...

I found it better to just disregard bread altogether rather than trying to compensate with these alternative breads'rolls. I actually don't even think about sandwiches or toast at all now. Same with desserts ... I just don't anymore LOL

@Melgar Have you tried fasting at all?

@jpscloud it's good that you are getting the motivation back after such a vry low time in your life. I understand it completely as I also cared for my mother for a few years before I lost her, followed only nine months later by the loss of my son. Nothing challenges us more than loss. It's now...

Wow, fabulous results there @Mr Hairyman so congratulations! I cannot advice you on the statins as I always refused them and used Plant Sterols instead. My figures have been 38 and 40 over the past three years and I recently took myself off my one tablet of Metformin per day, but only in the...

Hi @cdpm ... I am a big fan of fasting! If your diet prior to a fast is carb heavy then yes, you will feel hunger, so it's best to lower carbs and start with skipping just one of your meals for a few days before attempting a fast. Or perhaps fasting for say half a day to begin with. Hunger is...

Aww so glad you tried it and it can be spiced up with garlic if and when you desire too :)

@Lee Terence I love nuts, but because I keep them in an airtight container in my kitchen then I get two or three brazils out, plus about three or four Pecans and walnut halves, then put the container away. I have them with my coffee break at around 11am in my lounge (well away from the box of...

Hi @Lee Terence and yes, Cauliflower is wonderful for us Type 2's. I make a yummy mash with mine that cannot be distinguished from potato mash. All above ground veggies are excellent for you

That's a great, and very informative answer @KennyA x

You may get a variety of answers but personally I add a tablespoon of Chia and Pumpkin seeds to my greek yoghurt!
