I believe Dr Mosely trialled two groups, one dieting and not exercising, and one dieting and exercising, and reached the conclusion that exercise does not make you lose weight. However, my granddaughter has taken up running after work and she is definitely losing weight, and that's without...

Thank you so much for these brilliant suggestions, MrsA2. I love them. I shall certainly be experimenting! Best wishes.

Thank you Andydragon for replying to my post. It was only after I posted that the penny dropped and I realised that it all depends on the amount of carbs I choose to spend. On the back of the pack it says 100 grams = 11 carbs, so 50 grams, which looks to be a reasonable amount in the dish...

Hi I purchased a bag of mixed seeds today: sunflower, pumpkin, linseed, sesame, and ate two tablespoonsful and a small handful of blueberries, double cream, and sprinkling of sweetener. They tasted really good. I could so easy have got carried away and eaten another bowl. What is the...

Hi I really feel for all the ladies doing their utmost to keep their blood glucose levels at a healthy level and to lose weight and not having any success. I'm in exactly the same boat. The only way that I can lose weight is by doing it through WeightWatchers, having lost three stone on three...

Hi, I know your post is well over a year old, but I was interested to read that you recommend Chromium and Vanadium. Have you found that these help in controlling your blood glucose levels?

Thank you for your very helpful replies. Having less fat in my meals has helped and also including salad/vegetables for the second meal of the day whereas previously I was just having protein and fat. It's all a learning curve and each one of us responds differently to certain foods. It's...

The converter is one that I purchased this year when I went to Egypt and quite complicated. It can be used in quite a few different countries. I purchased it from John Lewis. As mentioned, I did ask the question on the Amazon site whether the DASH could be used in the UK and they said to...

Hi First of all I would like to express my thanks for all the concern shown about the safety of the Dash Mini Waffle Maker I'd ordered from Amazon (USA), and it was appreciated because I've no expertise on electrical goods. I did go on the Amazon USA website and asked the question whether it...

Cor blimey, never did I think that ordering a mini chaffle maker would create such a minefield of problems. As you say, DCUK, see what Monday brings and if there are too many hurdles to overcome I'll probably just ditch the product. But I live in hope.

As far as I'm aware the price I paid to Amazon covered import duty, but I'm no expert on such matters. I'm hoping that any wattage differences can be solved by simply changing the plug or using a converter. Monday is delivery day. I shall report back on what happens. Best wishes.

That's good, two stones in four months! Do you feel better for it? As well as following the low carb diet I've been doing a lot more walking, and whereas the weight isn't shifting very quickly (not much at all) the walking does appear to help lower my blood sugar levels.

Do you know, I've just done the same, and I can't find it either! Blimey, my order is probably floating around in cyber space. No, Amazon informs me it will be delivered on the 16 December 2019.

Thank you Cocosilk for this valuable information. I'm trying to keep my meals to just two a day, one of which is a salad with some form of protein. The other one is all protein/fat. As you suggest perhaps it would reduce the burning and acidity if I also included vegetables/salad with the...

Oh dear, and I thought I was choosing wisely in selecting the Dash. It's too late now it's on its way. Where do I go from here?

I hope it is 240v. Can't be doing with too many problems!

Interesting comments about chaffle makers. A week ago after reading all the info I decided that I must have one, and so ordered the Dash from Amazon, which has to come from America. Should arrive in about nine days time. Can't wait. Usually if I want anything I have to have it there and...

When I went there for a holiday several years ago tofu seemingly was the main thing eaten. Of course, I'm exaggerating. There were lots of chicken dishes. But times have changed. I'm sure you'll find many dishes low carb friendly (fingers crossed!). Enjoy your holiday, and best wishes.

I totally agree with you Mouseee about the rich food. Yesterday it flared up again, and in desperation I purchased some Gaviscon Tablets and they really helped. I normally try and avoid taking tablets as a cure for anything, but I do not want to give up on the low carb diet so decided to give...
