I buy this one and I can see on amazon is the same price http://www.amazon.co.uk/Xylitol-66629-Natural-Sweetener-1Kg/dp/B003VJQNWG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1448071860&sr=8-1&keywords=xylitol

I buy in my local health store at £2.50 for 250g. you may check online on amazon or ebay for cheaper options. I don't think they much differ in quality

My basal differs from one hour to another. It took me a while to get it right but its nearly spot on now. You need to learn how to do that by yourself because you will have to tweak it from time to time. I think its a nonsense to put someone on a 24 h flat rate. Most of us will need more insulin...

I wasn't on medication. I was borderline when started low carbing then it went worse. Got back to moderate carbs and my thyroid improved. I'm taking small dose of levothyroxine now and its ok. I'm not saying it was because of low carbing but it happened at the same time. Have a go and get your...

Ive tried low carb and the fact is that my thyroid levels went really bad at that time. I don't know if its coincidence but my test results were very bad. I do moderate carbs at the moment and its alright

Right, here my results :) Both consumed at lunch time with nothing else (yuk, yuk, yuk :yuck:). Quite interesting findings and both shows that calculating calories from protein/fat works. The only thing that doesnt work for me is timing of extended bolus. Polish method would recommend about 8h...

In theory you can, but you will soon discover that in practice you shouldn't. If you load your diet with carbs, your life will resemble rollercoaster, with lots of nasty highs and very unpleasant lows. Piece of cake as an occasional treat is alright, but unfortunately insulin doesn't work like a...

I bought few new low carb flours so may try again :) I love shortbread. When I came to UK I hated the food here, but fell in love wiyh shortbread and earl grey tea straight away. I still have it from time to time as I can cover it with insulin. What if you had a couple and went for a fast walk...

Do you count calories? Low carb is great but if you exceed calorie intake, it wont help you to loose weight. Also, what is your actual thyroid result? I was borderline for a long time but my consultant didn't want to put me on levothyroxine. I started few months ago and I can see I'm loosing...

Thanks :) I really like quiche. Great low carb alternative and to be honest you can throw in it anything you like or have in the fridge.I use soy flour in baking but never made a tart with it. Need to try it as it would make it a bit cheaper

I'm a keen baker and to be honest I don't think its possible to make a really nice low carb shortbread. You can try with almond flour but it wont be the same. I have few recipes for some cookies on my blog but I have never succeeded with shortbread

I cancelled my protein test tonight. I went as low as 2.5 just before dinner which freaked me out a bit (especially that I didn't feel very low:(). Will try tomorrow

I'm sure it woud work in any other dish. It just looks nice in a flan tin. Hope you will like it :)
