The sweet tooth thing passed through my thoughts too. But then again (here comes the 'excuse') perhaps a little of something I'm craving saves a blow-out. My thought is to replace sweet chilli sauce with something low carb, a teaspoon of the chilli sauce goes a long waY in marinades and salad...

It's a faux maple syrup product, and said to be diabetic and keto friendly. Would you trust this because to me it looks too good to be true. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sweet-Like-Syrup-Friendly-Vegan/dp/B081D4BJC9/ref=sr_1_40?dchild=1&keywords=keto&qid=1596047942&sr=8-40 Ingredients...

Welcome to the forum Steven, many of us are on here trying to get a handle on what's happening to us. We've got our preferences, but I couldn't get by without putting all my food consumed in a day through an nutrition app of some sort, I use fatsecret.co.uk through a browser, it's free. As...

"Most people on a low-carb diet end up eating more carbs than those on other types of diet, according to studies." It's like these quotes are published to act as a sort of subliminal message, I wonder how many have been put off low-carb through (what's possibly) dodgy conclusions?

Nuts are moreish! I try to keep away from them, but a tablespoon of peanut butter goes a long way and stop a craving. One tablespoon (that's all I can face) of peanut butter apparently is: fat-8.06g, net carbs-2.13g, protein-4g, cals-94 it stops any craving and itches my teeth. In fact...

Talking about statins.... hear what this Cardiologist has say. Most of what he's saying is way above my understanding, but I got a big gist of it!

I'm still reeling from the shock that 6 ripe juicy cherries spiked my BG from 6.1 to 11.3 in 10 minutes!

I would imagine so, otherwise how would you know which food causes an insulin spike? Welcome to the forum Mike, I'm sure someone better qualified than me will answer soon.

Our old dog became diabetic in the last years of his 14 years. He became very thin, and we had to inject him with insulin before we gave him food. His favourite food (innocently we let him choose which dog kibble he liked - I know better now) was a company belonging to Mars! I can only imagine...

Saw this brilliant vid of Ben Bickman's presentation. Just wish I had this info 50 years ago! A lot of the info is a fair bit over my head, but what I took from it... a) There's a balance between insulin and ketones (which is obvious when I think about it), ketones suppress insulin, and vice...

Daren't trust myself to make the delicious looking treats above. Just know it would be a slippery slope for me, I've been there before, so for now I'll not put myself to any test. :( Today has been a high calorie day at 1932 calories. Though I'm pleased to add carbs topped out at 15.10g net...

Hi Abi, I've recently been diagnosed too, got the news, got the meds, and told to report back to the GP in 9-12 weeks for another fasting blood test. Now I'm thinking how fortunate I am having found this site with it's knowledgeable contributors who've trodden this path weeks/months/years before...

Can you not add 'Type 2 in remission'? That's if you are in remission of course.

Well done you for taking it for a few weeks. I managed to take just three tablets. There's lots of info on youtube, and by reading this forum you'll get to know names of who to follow.

Been where you are Toodles60, except I never started the curse of smoking addiction (thank goodness). Well done you for getting that under control. Think you need to understand what carb addition is, you already know what it's doing to you. Carb addiction is powerful, but it can be easily...

I had just 3 metformin tablets and have now learnt my lesson..... I'll be good, I really promise I'll be good, no more carb spikes!

You mentioned salt.... salt's GOOD when you go very low (keto), potassium and magnesium is apparently needed. Conversely buy the low salt, it has higher potassium. Adding it in water makes a refreshing drink. Without the above you might get leg cramps. If I'm wrong (I'm new to this too) I'm...

Had my lowest ever carb day today! I'm trying to eat between the hours of 11AM and 7PM. Breakfast - 2 smoked mackerel fillets (150g), with about a teaspoon of butter on the top. Dinner - 185g cold roast chicken, 15g low carb sauce, stick of celery. Coffee with 2 tablespoons of double cream...

Thank you, didn't think of looking for a 'light' one. Always thought reduced sugar was a light version. Well I live and learn :) Light version now entered on my shopping list! Thans HSSS
