Thank you, I will have a good read of that.

Yes, but I would like to see more evidence. I feel at the moment I'm playing safe! I did go back to some butter, cheese etc, once I'd got my ldl down, just not the quantity I did at the start of my low carbing journey.

Absolutely this. I went a bit mad on cream etc., at first after a lifetime of watching my weight! I pretty much cut out the cream, butter, cheese etc., and went for nuts, avocados, extra virgin olive oil and oily fish to get my ldl down before my next blood test. I had to eat the fat because my...

I wasn't overweight to start with and only went from a bmi of 24 to around 19 at the beginning, it's gone up a little now, I'm at 20.5. My ldl went down in three months, at the next blood test there was no mention of stations. When I've got time later I'll have a look at my blood tests.

@zamalik my ldl went up quite a bit when I first low carbed, I’ve reduced it, keeping my haba1c normal, by changing my fat source, lots of nuts, extra virgin olive oil, oily fish, avocados, I do eat a little cheese and 5% fat yoghurt. It's constantly at a level my gp is happy with, my trigs are...

Hi, I was pre diabetic and have had normal hba1c's for 12 years, however I'm not cured if I eat anything carby my blood sugar goes way higher than it should. I had a high normal bmi, 24, when diagnosed, the weight was quickly lost but sadly even with a bmi of 18.5 I still had an abnormal...

@SlimLizzy that's really annoying. Now you may well have done this, but have you checked your fridge temperature recently? Only I had this and bought a fridge thermometer and my fridge was staying around 6, rarely getting to 5, even with the fridge turned to the highest setting for maximum...

You're eating the wrong yoghurt, total greek has none of those ingrdients. I love it.

Can't read as it's behind a pay all! As a slim prediabetic who was running when it was first picked up I'm interested in this.

It was very firm and basically inedible. I'll make another one with a bit more water and update @Gracie204 .

Thanks for the tip @Resurgam, it was fast acting yeast and it was an absolute disaster! As per another poster it was a big misshapen lump! Not enough liquid, I might try today with 2 cups of liquid.

Just bumping this thread as 8 years after the original thread I have finally got round to trying the original bread! It is currently in the bread machine, for a good result!

Could it be the milk rather than the coffee? I like a milky coffee and use unsweetened soya (alpro is the best tasting), you could try lactofree milk which is lower carb. I actually have decaff lavazza pod coffee (due to heartburn) which I really like.

Hi, I found it OK, although we stayed in smaller B&B's so a lot of breakfasts were quite carb heavy and it was sometimes a little problematic swapping out the carbs. We stayed overnight in calgary and before driving out to Banff we stopped and bought a few big bags of nuts so I had something...

Pleased to help Em. Banff is stunning, we've only visited in the summer I'd love to ski there.

How lovely! The following is a copy of what I sent to a chalet company in Italy, it worked and they catered for me very well. I took some nuts as snacks. "As discussed on the phone I have special dietary needs due to having type 2 diabetes, you said to let me know my dietary requirements once...

Hi, I've got a hiatis hernia and had gastritis when I had an endoscopy, I have to be careful what I eat, too much fat makes me feel ill. I eat low carb moderate fat. I was prediabetic in 2009 and have maintained normal hba1c's ever since. I test occasionally and I'm not cured, my levels still go...

I'm sorry to hear this, have you had a covid test?

I just rang them because I wanted a new one as my other one is old and I wanted to go through the options, they offered me a free one, I didn't even hint!

I've just got a free aviva performa from aviva and paid £12 for 50 strips from Amazon. I've always found aviva to be accurate.
