Try www.diabetes.org.uk/Guide-to-diabetes/Enjoy-food/Eating-with-diabetes/vegetarian-diets/ where you may find useful ideas. May I ask how you can be vegetarian if you eat chicken? What about fish? I know nothing about soy milk, except that I don't like it, are you lactose intolerant too? I...

Food for thought there, thanks folks. He's been sent for a CT scan so that might bring up a solution (or at least - a reason!)

I'm no expert, but I'd be very hungry on a diet like yours. I'd need to nibble on nuts or cheese between those meals.

Yes, thanks for the recipe. Sorry about the Dove's flour, I hadn't thought things through! The reason for using that is the fact that I'm also a celiac (can't digest gluten) too, so have a double trouble when it comes to flour in recipes. I could eat almond flour but as you say it could be...

What about ordinary Dove's flour? Might try it.

Sorry - I don't know him well enough to ask! Silly of me to expect someone on here to have a magic wand and would say 'ah - thats easy its ............ '. I've gained so much help myself from the group I was beginning to expect miracles ..... :) I had a vague thought that metformin could...

Why would a type 2 who keeps his blood sugar consistently below 7 by eating LCHF start having headaches. These have worsened as the months have passed and now it is a constant dull ache - day and night. His doc has prescribed 8 x 5mg tablets of Prednisolone (which is a steroid) per day (to be...

On TV Food Unwrapped a few nights ago they investigated this and it seems that its only highly processed meats that have been subjected to nitrates are the problem. Mostly things like frankfurters and the cheaper bacon (- you know the stuff that oozes white gunge when you fry it) are the 'bad'...

I'm feeling the same. I'm blaming the flue and pneumonia jabs as I haven't felt 'right' since, but I'm also coeliac and so my diet is very restricted, and I really don't like veg.

I'm no expert, but you are eating very little. I had - slice Bergen toast with butter, cup of coffee with cream. )Breakfast) A chunk of cheese and another coffee. (Elevenses) Ham salad with mayo, a full fat yoghurt and yet another cup of coffee (lunch) Cup of tea (tea) Chicken with broccoli...

Wow, thats one heck of a list (just at first I thought you were buying them all at once) but as a checklist to choose from they're bang on target. When you feel hungry you can chomp on things from here to keep the pangs away, although I do realise if you crave a cream bun with icing - a slice...

My first mistake was over fats! Its sooo ingrained into our dieting brains that fats are BAD and even more difficult to re-train us that we really really need them. If you're so very hungry, I suspect you're not eating enough calories (OK I know we don't count calories, but if you're just...

Living in Cumbria, I'd always assumed we were a backward county and our medicine was steeped in the dark ages. However, when I mentioned limiting carbs the dietician was most enthusiastic and very supportive. She even gave me some recipes and recommended Asda for a pack of ready-grated...

Oh sorry - I didn't mean cut out fruit. I understand berries are best, grapes and bananas have most sugar (well they're sweeter aren't they?) I'm just a beginner too - I was also told to avoid dried fruit (again you can taste the sweetness) and to get my vits from above ground vegs, not those...

When I first started LCHF I made many mistakes, and it sounds as though you're doing the same. Fruit contains carbs, for example, in the form of fructose. Oats are grains, so is rice. Milk contains carbs which is why we are advised to use cream. I had to educate myself into a whole new way...

I suffer from this 'silent' reflux too (it seems to be the latest popular diagnosis at the moment) but find that vegetables actually make it worse! Of course we're all different, and if it works for you - why not give it a try? For myself, as I really don't like the taste of many vegetables...

You sound as though you are struggling on without professional help 'I suspected diabetes and tested my BG, the readings said diabetes but I was so ashamed I didn't tell anyone.' - why didn't you tell anyone and ask for support? 4 stone lost and since last September is an amazing achievement...

My mistake about the muscle - I was really thinking of body fat I guess, but I'm no expert. I am also coeliac and have many dietary problems myself, and soon after diagnosis I developed a (thankfully temporary) lactose intolerance. This has resolved itself now - and I can tolerate cream and...

My first thought was - time of the month. Then I wondered about the lack of solid food. I see you are not a veggie because you had some chicken soup, but you don't mention any red meat nor any fish (oily or otherwise), or eggs. Dare I also suggest that a balanced diet should include some...

I live in Kendal too, and always hurry past with my eyes averted. Now I wonder why ................ ?
