I am low carbing, most days I'm around 35 sometimes 50 but judging by my readings, I don't seem to be able to eat much carb per meal to give me a reading of over 7 and tomatoes, raw tinned, or puree (this sort of knocks bolognaise off my eating list :( ) send it over 8 and I have the same...

I'm with you ac - my first post here was along the same lines .. its gutting to have the feeling that 'if only you'd' ….. I feel also that in some respects southern general is right - doctors just don't seem to tell us enough about our conditions let alone be forthright about possible outcomes...

I teased myself, night before last reading up on neuropathy :( - which I think I have in my feet/foot Then yesterday I did my first weigh in to prove this diet was one I could lose weight on and I'd lost 2lb (great but the day before I couldn't wait for the official weigh in so I'd weighed...

Good for you !! I'm another non make-up wearer - but I still do the hair :oops: however since bring my bg down and eating LCHF my skin has never looked or felt better - some eczema patches I had, have reduced considerably - instead of lathering them from the outside with emollients, I'm...

Apparently high bg leaves us looking old :eh: BBC News online "The test was developed to investigate the link between sugar in our diet and perceived age. My blood sugar level was low which was consistent with a younger appearance. People with higher blood sugar tend to look older on average...

I have just spent at least two hours searching for Whitby Jets Lemon & Lime Cake - so first question Does anyone know where it is ? Second question Can recipes be organized even roughly - into meals, cakes, puddings .. now the thread is so big its really hard to find stuff :? Gilly

Can you give me the formula for your calculation ? I hear what you are saying about med carbs but unfortunately I don't seem to be able to handle that amount at the moment, maybe after some weight loss but currently my body seems very sensitive to carbs ...

Thanks for the link there I think in essence Geoff I was trying to say that my previous "healthy" low fat, low sugar (by that I mean the added sort not the carb kind) diet is the one that my new cholesterol levels have proved without doubt (to me) - has not worked. I am currently trying to...

thanks for the replies - I actually feel pretty full most of the time, its just somehow in my mind I haven't made the complete cross over from low fat to high fat. So although practically I'm doing the low carbs I'm really worried that I'm not going to be losing weight ( I need to lose about...

I have watched all 3 now and been left a little underwhelmed with the final outcome Its all about sleight of hand, which cup hides the pea between the food industry biggies with massive amounts of money to throw into grooming our perceptions and the government ministers unwilling to take hard...

Background: I have a very weird sleep pattern but because I work from home I can accommodate the fluctuations and the odd overwhelming need to sleep at odd hours - as a consequence of this breakfast ends up usually occurring when everyone else is 'lunching' I last ate 8pm last evening, checked...
