They tell me tripe is good for you .... no way!:arghh:

Its a matter of taste don't you think? As farmers, we'd never drink anything else but full fat and to my palate semi or skimmed taste watery. Its already been said that what you're doing is paying off so why go onto drinking milk you don't like? I don't like greens so I don't eat them as I...

Thanks for the link, I'd forgotten quorn and tofu , thank you - but I do remember one of them is not gluten free (I'll check the packets this afternoon when I do my shopping). I think fish eaters are called pescatarians or something like that, there's also a name for egg eaters I expect 'ova'...

Where can I find LCHF diets for vegitarians and vegans who are diabetic and coeliac?

We were spot checked twice in 2016 - but not at all in 2015! I'm not going to be drawn into posting on this point again, lets agree to differ over animal medication and welfare - little red tractors and all.

Animals are killed! Its horrible and heartbreaking, especially when you've fed and raised them yourself - but we can't grow cerials on mountainsides although we can grow meat. I do stress that animals in this country cannot be stuffed with hormones and get anitbiotics only when they are ill -...

My husband is a farmer and I can assure you that animal food in UK is more heavily monitored than human, its the USA that seems to need a lot more regulating. We also use far fewer pesticides as we just don't have so many pests as them, a few herbicides are used though for o bvious reasons- so...

Are you taking this seriously or just having a good laugh at us all?

WithoutSugar, I have asked you this before but I would still dearly like to know (1) how many grams of carb you are allowing yourself per day, (2) what medication you are on and (3) what your blood readings are. Without this information we'll find it hard to suggest solutions and a lot of...

You are lucky! You are very lucky! Would it be true to say you are feeling just a teeny weeny bit sorry for yourself? Could it be time to grow up? Thats harsh I know, but its your choice. I'm surprised that no one on here has told you that amongst all the other things that can fail a diabetic...

I read somewhere that there are people who have an extra taste bud(do I mean bud?) that makes the bitter taste of brassicas more enhanced for them - so they don't like things like cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, brussels etc. And that's that. I cook these things in small amounts for hubby...

My husband is very keen on swede or turnip mashed with butter and cream. Just how devillish is this mix in the carbohydrate ratings?

As bulkbiker has already said - your doc may prescribe pills but you don't have to file the prescription nor take the tablets. I had sky-high blood pressure for years and was taking handsfull of pills every day with rotten side effects and I felt like dog poo. Then I stopped taking the things...

I was told to eat Bergen bread with soya snd linseed - something to do with its GI. I allow myself a couple of slices a day but I don't reaslly know why .......

I nibble on one square of 80% dark chocolate with a glass of fizzy water and a splash of lime.

I googled amitriptyline, because the pills I've been taking for arthritis don't seem to be working any more, and it said its used for treating depression, but it can make you feel hungover and suicidal(!) How does it help arthritis Is it helpful?

As far as losing weight is concerned - it has just not owrked for me! I inderstand that when you reduce the carbs you reduce a source of energy so that is why you need to upp the fats, and as I also understand the Brie is fine but the oats are a no-no (but I'm no expert). Are you able to keep...

We don't seem encouraged by out practice to self test, in fact they refuse to hand out meters and strips. However the DN is very keen on low carbing so that's encouraging.

Do you like yoghurt?

Like StewartH I have learned to like fat and not to fear red meat, but then I don't have any heart issues although I do have a distressing tendency to gain weight. I shall be 78 next month and feel fitter on LCHF than I have done in years - I just wish my joints weren't wearing out ......lol
