    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    I'm so pleased your cat has come back safe. I'm just looking through this forum for some food ideas and saw your post. My beloved Archie went out of the door last August Bank Holiday and never came back. His brother Olly died not long after pining for him. They were only 2 years old :(

    Itchy scalp!

    Hi, I got this whenever I was stressed. Basically the best shampoo I have found and although expensive it does work immediately and you don't have to use it every wash, is by Davines which is an italian brand. I first came across it in a hairdressers but order it online now. Its about 14...

    Quorn products: safe for people with diabetes?

    That's a great idea. My partner, who isn't diabetic or vegetarian has tried my quorn meals a couple of times and liked them, but also I do buy the lean minced beef for him and it can be quite expensive so thanks for the tip of mixing it. We do this with low fat and full fat grated cheese :)

    Quorn products: safe for people with diabetes?

    Hi, Ive just searched for Fusarium Venematum and can see that it was discovered growing naturally in Buckinghamshire in the 60's and indeed was probably a poisonous fungus (mushroom) as are a lot of funghi growing wild. I do understand your comments but I also would rather eat a poisonous...

    LCHF - does it work?

    I wish and hope it would work for me but have always been conscious of eating low fat. Although now that I've been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes that has had to change as am trying to eat low carbs but have also been looking at the fat, its a habit, I cant help it :confused: But it looks like...

    Sunday Roasts

    One of my favourite parts of a Sunday Roast is the stuffing, and I don't think I should have any or much of it anymore? I suppose if I'm at home I can have a bit but when eating out I can't be sure what its made of. I didn't realise that gravy was a high carb though? I understand yorkshire...

Although the other day I was pleasantly surprised to find that a sainsburys chilled choc eclair was 10 carbs!! That can be less...

    Avocado - recipes

    Thats great, thanks. Yes, i find that if I buy the ripen at home ones you leave them for ages checking every day and they're too hard to use, then one day you turn around and they've gone too soft!! So you cant plan what to use them in. Incidentally, what is the aubergine chocolate mousse you...

    Avocado - recipes

    Hi, I did an avocado last week with mushrooms, bacon and cheese in the oven. I literally laid the bacon over the avocado slices and mushrooms in a foil pocket with some Boursin chives & shallot soft cheese on it and a little grated hard cheese and cherry tomatoes. I didn't actually roast it in...

    Quorn products: safe for people with diabetes?

    Some of the hype about quorn and how it is processed worried me a little even though I've always enjoyed it for years without any problems. I mentioned the concern I was having about the process used to produce the quorn products to a colleague, and she reminded me of the process used to...

    Hi there diagnosed type 2 last Tuesday and already a bit concerned.

    Hi, Im so glad I got the meter, at least I can now test at various times of the day and post meals :) I havn't done the site's low carb course although I may give it a go. Ive basically been checking the food packaging on items and found items that can be replaced with low carb substitues such...
