I'e already stated buying organic or making it at home isnt an option. I appreciate the responses, but it's just NOT a possibility for me. I am on an extremely limited income, and I do not have the time to make it, or the resources to get the ingredients. If the boxed stuff is no good, I'll...

It's almost impossible for me to make it at home sadly, the cost would be more expensive than buying the $7 boxes. I just wanted to make sure it wasnt anything super special in the home made stuff, thanks!

I havent been able to find an answer; cooking a home made broth is just NOT an option for me, and all the organic specialty ones are over $7 a box, which isnt possible either. Is a broth like this okay for sipping while fasting...

Losing weight is not my priority, but it wouldnt be a downside! I'm 5'5 and a half, 175lbs, very stocky, wide shoulders, and so on. I have about 30 to lose to be considered a normal weight. What is a timeframe for snacking near a meal to not create a second insulin reaction? Is that something...

Considering Bluetit1802 answered my questions a bit, I dont think it's that hard of a thing to answer. :) They provided a time frame, and explained it in a way I could understand.

I am Canadian, and diabetes doctors/dieticians/nutritionists here still push fruit and brown carbs sadly. My regular doctor is on par with low carb and approves but will not give food advice other than that. We eat salads a lot; so greens, usually a baby romaine mix, with cucumber, tomato...

Yes, this helps much more than the other replies. If you're not hungry do you still eat the first meal?

I specifically need people to explain it to me, and provide times and whatnot because I literally do not understand any of it, as per my previous post. None of it makes any sense despite reading up on it for days. I am, to be blunt, extremely stupid, and I need very basic and simple explanations...

I specifically want someone to give me a time range because I dont understand how they work. For an example, my husbands father only eats between 12pm and 8pm. Obviously this time doesnt work for me, because Im not even up then some days. Ive heard 'just move the time frame down' but I dont...

I just have a few questions that I havent been able to get answers on, or I've gotten conflicting ones! My awake times (due to work) are about 11/Noon to 3-4am, and this varies sometimes. What would be a good timeframe for IF? Am I able to drink peppermint tea with a good amount of cream...

Anyone have tips for getting over anger relating to diabetes? I dont want the extra stress (i have enough LOL ) I'm extremely angry about my diagnosis because it wasnt under my control/my fault, but the cause of bad parenting (I was given a diet of soda pop and candy & removed from school very...

Thanks! I shall! I made these today; I followed Tasty's recipe which was posted on their Facebook yesterday, I believe. I subbed a little bit of the almond for coconut, as I ran out, but aside from the strong cocnut taste, theyre great. I made 2 mini cheese pizzas and I plan on doing...

I'm aware that carbs = sugar, I think you've misunderstood what Im asking. Many articles claim real maple syrup does not effect the blood sugar like pure sugars or even fruits, and carbs do. I am asking if anyone here can back that up, or knows if its a false claim.

I am aiming for IF by skipping breakfast, so eating it sooner would probably break that. As well as sleeping habits arent an option to change due to my work. Why suggest skim milk? Every LC, even Keto, says to avoid all milk and stay with cream for the fat content. SKim would just be added...

I know the sugar content. That's not what I was asking, sorry. I've read well over 50 article claiming that the sugar is digested differently and its 'safe' for diabetics to eat. There are even maple sugars and candies in the diabetic friendly isles of stores.

I keep reading things that real/pure maple is diabetic friendly-er, is this true? I cannot have any artificial sweeteners, and while I no longer crave/want sugar, I do occasionally want to make a dessert (birthday, xmas, so on) Is maple syrup safer to use than honey or normal sugar? Will...

Is it okay if I hijack this topic for a moment? I made the fathead dough from Tasty, so far its the only one I've made that's 'turned out'. It calls for 1/3 c almond or coconut, I used mostly almond and a little coconut, maybe 2 tbsps and the dought just tastes SO MUCH like coconut... Is that...

"I was rarely brought to a doctor," Key word being rarely, not never. The tests were only ever followed up once, by a dietician who told me to eat fruit and brown carbs... /: I was tested at 15 at a hospital and they didnt mention anything to me, and then again by different doctors a few times...

I grew up in a very abusive household and then was in an abusive relationship where I was not allowed to leave the house. I was rarely brought to a doctor, and then wasnt able to go once I was in that relationship. It's been about a year and a half/two years since that and I have been to my...

Thank you for the info! I've done a lot of reading but this helps too. My doctor told me to just test my blood at home once or twice a week, to see if LC is lowering it. Im not on any meds or anything else; Is there a specific time I should test if Im not doing it regularly? I do know it is...
