How on earth can you eat this stuff? Its supposed to be very very healthy and full of good things, but to me it tastes like animal-feed and smells totally disgusting. I followed the instructions on the packet but it was inedible - what do you do with it to make it palatable?

I'm coeliac too, but I can't lose weight! But please bear in mind I have no medical credentials. Are you one of those people who don't ever get really hungry? I think we differ greatly in the size of our appetites and I'm told that grazing all day is not a good way to lose weight - so perhaps...

Wow! 34"! Very impressive.

The fact that you use the expression 'back yard' makes me think you're from the USA? I have grown small avocado trees from stones, they are native to Mexico but they would never mature enough to fruit in the UK as we don't have the warmth nor the long hours of daylight. In the south of England...

The amount of carbohydrate people can eat seems to fluctuate wildly so we have to find our own level. The trick is not to let yourself feel really really hungry or, as you put it, you fall off the wagon and binge on biscuits or something. I want to lose weight but never seem able to keep my...

Thanks everyone, we don't have a Tesco or a Waitrose as I live in the sticks, Asda is my nearest store, and like Robbity I find the 'online' shopping poor for fruit and veg as they often send poor quality produce. So its Asda or else a trip into town with all the parking problems and queuing...

Do be careful - this debate could get as heated as Brexit if we're not vigilant. The substance of the article is basically what a lot of medical people hold, and its good to have a look at things from the 'other side' from time to time. It must have taken a huge leap of faith for the first...

I love avocados but am so often disappointed with them. It doesn't seem to matter whether I buy the 'ready to eat' ones or the 'ripen on the windowledge' ones - they are either hard and woody, of full of horrid brown speckles when I cut them open - occasionally I'll get one thats delicious and...

I am coeliac too. The gluten free stuff is full of additives and sugar as well as fat, and in addition tastes like cardboard so if you can, I would avoid it. I also get the urge to snack in the evenings and don't really want cheese or cold meats or other sensible things - I want sweetness and...

Wonder who Liz is - she doesn't email me .......:confused:

....... so you're human, don't beat yourself up about it.

Chia seeds look very strange, they come in black and white, but they work. Our local Asda have them in little sachets in a box, on the Free From section or you can get them in Holland and Barrett or Health Food shops. Google for chia recipies. Good luck. Starches turn to sugar when digested...

Thanks folks, some appealing ideas there. Sometimes the sugar is needed too as Stevia doesn't have the same qualities, although I might try just halving the sugar in recipes and adding stevia at the end. The ice cream sounds good, I did try it once using frozen rasps but I let it freeze too...

I have loads and loads of red currants on my bushes this summer, and it seems a shame to leave them to rot (though the birds enjoy them). Can anyone think of ways of using them that don't mean using huge quantities of sugar?

Were you told not to test by your GP at diagnosis - I was. The only way to find out what the outcome would be of taking 2 days 'off', is testing your bloods before eating the carbs, and again 2hrs later. (well this is what I understand from reading posts on here, but I'm no medic).

Love it! I want one. Seriously though, WHY are things missing? I don't understand .........

Brilliant! Trust G&S to hit the nail on the head!

I posted a link for an electric pressure cooker - but it's no longer here. I get the impression it'd been moved by admin because I ventured the opinion that Mr Greener was playing with us by poo-pooing every suggestion made to him. What does the comment 'sorry I can't buy a 5lt cooker to cook...

I read the label on the jar which said 100% meat with no rusk or added carbs, so I've butterfly'd a (very small) piece of rump and tied it up. I'll let you know how it turns out later after I've roasted it. (The cat's still sleeping on a chair you'll be relieved to know).
