I can't say I felt motivated by S World, maybe because we were unlucky in that we had several different leaders - mostly because people moved away due to their husband's jobs. But like another poster on this thread I didn't like the table full of SW books and items for sale at every meeting.

This is in cups (I use a tea cup, but its on a 'part to part basis, just use the same container) 2 cups double cream 1 cup full fat milk half a cup sugar (I use mostly stevia or similar, but it does need a little sugar) vanilla extract Whisk all together until sugar has dissolved (ie no...

Since embracing this LCHF diet I have lost my fear of fat, as both hubby and I have improved our cholesterol counts over the last year. You need your calories from somewhere, and for us - its from fat. I read somewhere it has been proved to have no effect on heart problems. Read, read and...

Look on the sticky posts at the top of the 1st page, this one is a really good place to start. Low Carb - explained in 60 seconds Then have a good throw-out of all your highly processed cakes, biscuits, cerials and breadbread (try Burgen soya and linseed) and stock up on full fat milk...

Avocado - I tend to do the same, but find 'translating' the US recipes to UK weights and terminology quite frustrating.

Lol ellargy, but I have a real humdinger for ice cream! I'll seek it out for you - its almost 100% double cream.

Been trolling all afternoon looking for recipes for a visitor who doesn't like chicken. It would be great if someone (with the time and expertise) could put these in some kind of order ....... a tall ask I know ........ beef, lamb, pork, chicken, veggie, snacks, cakes etc. There are so many...

What time do you call 'teatime' Gracie? Here in the north many people call their evening meal (6pm - 7pm approx) their Tea, although I was brought up to call it 'supper' and our 'Tea' was a special treat at 4pm on Sundays only and included bread and jam with cakes and fruit pies. If you mean...

It may have changed now, but when i was in Slimming W there were two choices of menu and you decided each day which one you preferred. One was a kind of low carb, and the other was based on vegs - so you had a Red Plan (meat based with limited carbs) or the Green Plan (fruit vegs and quite a...

I 'm coeliac as well, so if I do give in and eat bread/pastry/beer/mars bars/etc., I am really really ill for days. However, I can eat sugar. (Gluten free substitutes are pretty horrible cardboard-like concoctions with no taste). Dark chocolate is my waterloo, followed by meringue (pavlovas...

I think perhaps the portions are rather large, and when you think of it - it is a US site. perhaps I am just eating too much as I have to say I'm pretty full after meals so maybe that's why I haven't lost sny weight. How are you feeling now Beech hut?

At under 5ft tall I immediately thought how much I'd love to get down to 7st again - but maybe not. Ha.ve you totted up tha actual number of calories you're eating - that may give a clue. I can't seem to lose, but I think I was binging (I just love cream) on fat and that put my actual...

We use chia seeds to make a pudding - recipies all over google - which can be sweetened with, not too much, stevia. But I don't know of any health benefits we've noticed.

It made no difference and they've been stopped - along with the statins.

I thought it was pretty good too - so why the lecture from GP about cutting down on fats I wonder? What happened to stick and carrot with the emphasis on carrot? Do GPs get paid extra for every diabetic on their books?

What a brilliant weight loss - well done!

Is an HbA1c reading of 44 good or bad?

How odd, I started following those recipes on Sunday too. How did you find the low carb pizza, I had real trouble with it. (assuming its the 2 week challenge from dietdoctor). So far I have disappointingly only lost half a pound.

I know a couple of other type 1s who also keep to a low carb ideal, but test to see if they need to alter their insulin after everything they eat. One lady has lost a lot of weight, the other one not so much - but she does snack a lot on fruit and also seems addicted to milky drinks. The...

Thanks for all those supportive replies, I didn't expect to find so many people feeling the same way I do. I used to eat a lot of carrots, parsnips and swede as well as potatoes - I call tomatoes, peas and cucumber fruit, so only eat small amounts. I also find the cabbage. brussels and other...
