This recipe for bread looks very interesting and I may give it a try. I'm not too sure how much olive oil to use as I've never seen a measurement featured in this way. 1dl olive oil. Does this mean a third of a litre of olive oil, which seems an awful lot? And how much did it send up your...
Hi
Thank you very much for your helpful reply. I've just placed an order with Bulk Powders for the electrolyte powder, and it should be here tomorrow. I'm entirely in agreement with your comment that getting BG under control is more important than weight loss. I'll let you know if it works...
Thank you for your reply. Though I followed the keto diet religiously and tested my urine for ketones I was never in ketosis. I don't know why this was.
I have made bone broth in the past, but it became a bit of a chore boiling up the bones for long periods.
Best wishes.
Thank you for replying to my cry for help. I find myself in a constant inner battle as to what to eat. If I cut out most of the carbs I feel like pooh, and yet when I take electrolytes or slightly increase the carbs to remedy this my blood sugars rise, and I'm not losing weight.
I quite...
Hi Pipp
Thank you for your prompt reply. I've just checked the ingredients of the ZERO electrolytes and there's no maltodextrin in them. I thought for a moment that you'd solved my problem. Do you know of any electrolytes that are safe for diabetics to take?
It's a bummer about how...
Hi
Sometime ago, perhaps 18 months, I had a routine blood test done and the doctor informed me that my blood glucose level was slightly high, but he appeared unconcerned and made no recommendations. Diabetes does run in my family, had a sister and mother who were diabetic. So I decided to...
Welcome to the forum. Don't be hesitant in putting any questions to the forum you may have, they are a knowledgeable lot!
It's scary being diagnosed as diabetic.
Halloween! What a time to discover you're diabetic. Was your Good Fairy on holiday?
Stay well and happy.

Hi
I've been attempting to follow a low carb diet on and off for the past eighteen months, but have relapsed several times when away on holiday. I've always enjoyed carbs so have tried to include small amounts in my diet such as a small slice of HiLo bread, a couple of new potatoes, a small...
Hi, loved to hear your story. Have you tried taking electrolytes? I'm quite new to low carbing, and my energy was so low I felt like giving up. Tried the electrolytes and felt almost immediately the tiredness and brain fog lift.
Best wishes.
Love this. I've had it for two nights running for the evening meal, first with a pork chop, then lamb chops. I like to slice the cabbage really thinly, drain off the residual water, and then add cream, cheese, mustard, salt. Mmmm .. very nice.
I've had sweeteners in my coffee and tea for years. I keep reading that they are not good for us, but quite frankly I do not enjoy unsweetened drinks. I've gone long weeks without them, but always reverted back. A hot, sweetened cup of tea or coffee is for me a moment of pleasure in a busy...
Yes, I saw that episode, and immediately thought "I'd love a sphynx cat". A bonus with this type is that your clothes do not end up smothered in hairs!
Thank you for this reply. I shall certainly search out the Livlife bread to try. As you say the HiLo is definitely a bit chewy. A lunchtime sandwich - bliss!
Do you eat any vegetables or salad? If not, surely you must be vitamin and mineral deficient? When you have an MOT at the doctors are the results good? I'm asking because we are constantly told to eat our greens to stay healthy!
