hi. very new to all of this & looking around sites about LCHF eating I see a lot of people have dropped BG levels & lost weight .. I'm going to get a meter (against GP advice) to test myself but have severely restricted carb intake & stepped up exercise for 10 days but no change in weight...

questiin - can you swap almond flour for linseed flour for cakes etc? I'm not a baker in any way but looking at recipies on low carb programme there were several that looked really good, esp cream cheese brownies. but it uses almond flour, I've always had a sensitivity to nuts (not allergy) thanks

hi Japes, thanks for your reply.. I've looked at LCHF or just low carbs. will have to read up more about it.. I see that quite a few recipies have cream which is no good for me as I've never been able to have it as it upsets my stomach too much. I've been advised to do a one day DESMOND...
