    In defence of low carb subs

    Looks like two squares of the lavender one is 3 carbs so that will be tonight's "pudding" on your recommendation. Fingers crossed. (I'm still finding the thought a bit bizarre)

    In defence of low carb subs

    I'm not pretending that low carb subs taste as good as the thing they are meant to replace but as someone who is only now (ashamedly) learning to make things from scratch they have been the difference between me sticking or not sticking to my low carb diet. I have a cupboard shelf full of almond...

    Type 2 Meal suggestions

    Hi @syrup65 When I first started eating low carb "sides" were my biggest concern. These days it all depends whether I'm eating by myself or with the gang. To be honest if its just me I don't bother. I no longer feel the need for that big dollop of carbs on the side and would rather have...

    Feeling ashamed with new diagnosis

    I don't want to derail your diabetic thread and I'm happy to chat knees in the private message feature at the top of the screen if you like but I just couldn't let the above quote pass. I was bone on bone for many years and physio was the thing that helped me most. My understanding is that it...

    Feeling ashamed with new diagnosis

    Hello @cornylady and welcome aboard. You and I have very similar stories. I'm 57 with osteoarthritis and limited mobility. I've been obese for may years and was diagnosed Type 2 last August with a HBa1c of 54. Now the good news. I had my first new knee last May and my 2nd in November. I am now...

    Is there a way to save or bookmark or favourite posts? I remembered this morning that the lovely @lovinglife told me what to add to pork mince to magically turn it into sausage meat. I needed it today but it took me ages to find the thread and the post. I know there is search but I always get...

    Healthy takeaways?

    This exactly. Every work day I have a little box in my handbag with a cube of cheese and a hard boiled egg in it.Most days it comes home unopened. I'm rarely hungry at lunchtime but I have a fear of being hungry at lunchtime because previously I would have had a rumbling tummy and been more than...

    Healthy takeaways?

    Do you have a Nandos near enough to make use of? That's my go to. Two chicken thighs, grilled halloumi and a green salad totals 3.5 carbs. I've also been known to have the odd cheeky McDonalds.I just order without the bun or anything too carby and I slide it into a ketoroma bun from my freezer...
