It is quite an eye opener to find that your health team aren't actually giving you the correct info. Mine told me that the occasional biscuit or cake is fine, follow the eat well plate, then moaned when my numbers went up when i see her 3 months later and i havent lost weight. Then after finding...

Definitely. The Nhs advice is very outdated. Low carb is becoming better received with healthcare professionals though. My nurse doesnt disapprove but is sending me to a diet specialist at the hospital. I'll see what they have to say on friday. But from my experience, I've gone from being...

Best thing to do is get a glucose monitor. If your doctor wont give you one try the sd codefree as the strips are alot cheaper than others. Test before you eat, then 2 hours later, your looking for any rise to be less than 2mmol at 2 hours. See how you go, you may be able to tolerate some...

Bread is my nemesis, i can't eat any. Try less bread in one meal next time, but you may find it's too much. There is a low carb bread called LivLife which some people can manage better than a regular loaf. i must say though that i really don't miss bread anymore.

Same here. After a year of my numbers going up and not losing any weight,i desperately searched the internet and found this site. I cut the carbs and hey presto my numbers came down from 8.9% to 6.2% in 5 months! Oh and i lost 2 stone!

Oh the carlton dance! That made me smile, thanks.

i have found my next insuarnce on the comparison site with the same company i'm with, before. When I ring them up they can't do it at that price i have to do it on line!!!! Madness! **edit - my fingers are too cold to spell propely

It could be that your not eating enough. But also it could be that you ARE losing fat, but gaining muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat. Have you found your clothes are looser?

Happy birthday

Just had cauliflower/broccoli cheese with a tin of tuna mixed in.....so yummy!

It's snowing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not excited............:oops:

Just to say as well that I also love Chinese takeaway, but I've had 1 in the past 4 years!!!! I was being naughty. Wont have any again for at least a year. Too much sugar and carbs.

I have learnt something new today. Thanks.

I LOVE Indian takeaway, in fact I may treat myself to one this weekend. I don't miss the rice or naan anymore. I usually have a meat dish and a couple of veg ones mmmmmm.......I'm hungry now, maybe I'll have one tonight......... :p
