Nice. I'm having them again today. My next favourite food is pizza so I'm going to give the cauliflower pizza base a whirl.

Hi BeeGee. It's going quite well so far. Readings are still not over 6. Though I do wonder how I'm going to be able to maintain this low carb dieting it's expensive. I had my first ever low carb hamburger and I'm addicted lol. It's the best burger I've ever had. And inexpensive too. But gladly...

Lol oh yes a good single malt mmm yes I'm on day 7 and haven't had any readings over 6. So this low carb high fat diet does really work.not to mention the weight loss factor. I drink wine but I've noticed it seems to lower my readings. Which I don't understand why as it contains some sugar. But...

Thank you

Oh after your first bite. I've been doing 2 hours since finishing my meal. Thanks

Thanks Andrew I'll check my meter book to see if mone does that. Cheers

Could someone tell me if there is an app you can download that you can put your BG readings an food you have eaten in. Maybe even a carb counter? ??
