Miahara, that's it exactly, I'm happy what I'm eating, my doctors happy with what I'm eating, we discussed it today and he's happy which ever way I want to go, staying really low carb or upping it to mod carb it's my decission, but I don't understand the negativity and why they are disagreeing...

Hi your right could just be a variant but I'm pretty paranoid about gaining weight. The weight I gained was due to mood stabilisers, 6 1/2 stone in 7 months... No change in diet, my consultant at the time said live with it as your moods are stable and eat less... I ended up stopping taking them...

Hi Dod95, Welcome to the forum :) it's the first time I've said that. I know getting your diagnosis is really hard to deal with at first, I got mine just 5 weeks ago today and it's a roller coaster on your emotions. The people on here will help you so much just ask and somebody will be able to...

Hi Winnie We have several brands of organic peanut butter without the added sugars etc, I think I'm going to investigate further, because I use it to cook with as well as eat on toast ... And I'm with you on the peanut butter cups... I found the mini ones great because I would only eat two at a...

Actually what is really popular in the area that I live in is chicken parmo... It's flattened chicken breasts with pizza sauce topped with cheese and sometimes the other pizza toppings... Trying something like that might just kill your pizza cravings. The cauliflower pizza... The first one I...

Ok, can I sort of rant here? And can you put this into perspective? Had a meeting with my doctor today, it went really well sort of. He's over the moon at my BS levels... This weeks average is 5.3. Yes it's had a couple of spikes but because I'm testing so often I know exactly what's caused...

I've been making cauliflower pizza when I've had those cravings, but with advice from here I'm going to try the fathead pizza, both can be found googling or on YouTube. The cauliflower base one works really well all it is, is cauliflower rice, an egg and cheese... With you favourite topping...

Wallnut_face they are the cigarettes of the food world in that case... And highly addictive :)

Hi Ross The half hour wasn't the problem the doubling of my blood sugars two hours later was :( it's taken so much to get them diwn and keep them down, it was the first time I had used canned tomatoes since starting my low carb journey and I wanted to see what they did to my levels

Hi Bluetit I've tried real tomatoes today, your right they don't spike very much at all :)

Winnie, I really don't know how you cope over there with all the added corn syrup etc, it's bad enough over here but at least that's banned... Another one of my real misses is peanut butter... Yes it's sold in the uk with a lot less sugar BUT I LOVED... note the past tense American peanut...

Hi Oldvatr I've been cooking real Italian food since I started cooking, I tend to try using fresh tomatoes and in the summer I have a glut of them normally.. I like the tarter taste to the really sweet one, it's just I was out of fresh and frozen ones that's why I used the tinned ones. I've...

In my annual Heath check my DN wanted to put me onto statins because my collesterol was slightly high and decided that because I had, had a stroke that it would be a preventative measure. I decided that I wasn't going to even try after learning about the side effects especially the memory and...

4mydoris99 The anxiety and depression will play a big part in how you deal with this. It's hard to stay positive, but if you can try to stay positive. I've struggled with depression most of my adult life, I was misdiagnosed years ago and my gp at the time just wanted to pump me full of...

Haha Bluetit, you made me chuckle :)
