Oh I wish I could stop at one spoonful of peanut butter!

Thanks for putting into context. Hopefully LCHF and IF will help me get there

I'm sure that you can use sucralose, stevia etc instead of xylitol. It's different from the different types of flour that really do act differently. @ewelina has said this in her blog......I think. Ideas for a cake are this thread...

I know how you feel; I often find standing to cook is either difficult or results in a worsening of my pain (for days sometimes). How about an omelette? You could prepare the ingredients beforehand and have a rest, then cook it later - which should be pretty quick. This would be LCHF and...

6.3 - highish for me but just stopped metformin

Thanks very much for the link @AndBreathe. My total cholesterol has gone up; the receptionist wouldn't give me the individual lipid profile numbers, but when I get these I'll be using the calculator! I am not going to go on statins whatever the results are as Mum had very serious and permanent...

I'm fasting for 4 maybe 5 days, so for the last three I've only had coffee with milk, herbal tea and oxo! Getting back to normal after a (pretty well controlled) holiday and a week in hotels for work. It's the best thing I've found for lowering BS and blood pressure and not bad for weight loss...

5.8 today. Not great, but I'm doing a four day fast and that usually does a good job in bringing my FBS down. I'd really like to be in the 4s again.

5.9 too and same thoughts

The following example is only a sample size of one, but is backed up by studies and listed as a side effect on the blurb that comes with statins. My mum has significant and permanent muscle weakness, so bad that she had to have a bath lift installed as she could no longer get out because her...

6.3 - been in the for the last 5 days - not good for me. I think it's down to a lack of exercise.

B- nothing (trying to get mini fasts in, as full fasts aren't an option at the mo (e.g. go on hol tomorrow). L - half Lidl roll cheese and salad (7g) D - Lamb rogan gosh (10g); 2 large scoops strawberry ice cream (6g) Dry white wine (4g)

Today's latest ice cream recipe was a punnet of strawberries chopped small, half carton double cream 250ml full fat greek yog and sucralose to taste. Took a couple of minutes to make and was really yummy. The Aldi ice cream maker will never I fear be able to make consistent textured ice...

@debrasue made an amazing black forest gateau recently based on Elwina's recipes. She might be able to give you the link to the thread

Fasted until this evening, apart from a handful at nuts at lunch Wine tasting followed by quiche (without pastry), cheese, prawns and salami.

Refreshing and funny, thanks

@PenfoldAPD I agree with @ickihun, there's no need to go back on meds on the strength of a couple of high readings, but if it's more than a few, then it might be worth reviewing the situation temporarily, I'm on metformin as a protective factor to guard against the side effects of medication. I...

I've been toying with the idea of getting an expensive ice cream maker and when the Aldi one was on offer I thought I'd try one. I made a vanilla ice cream just with double and single cream, vanilla extract and sweetener - replacing the sugar in a normal recipe I got off the web. It was super...

My usual 'habits' would be considered to be constipation by most people, so with LCHF and certainly with the 800 cal blood sugar diet, it became worse. I found that having flaxseed has helped. My favourite way of having it is flax choc pudding, much like its more expensive cousin chia pudding...

6.4 -not pleasde - too many almonds yesterday.
