Thanks all, Julien, I don't know how you should eat for an underactive thyroid sorry, all I have done is cut out as many carbs as I possibly can and increased my fat intake quite considerably. If you look up Viv's modified Atkins diet in this forum it will give you a good grounding on what to...

Hi All, I am flying to New Zealand later this year, and wondering if anyone else has done so whilst trying to maintain a LCHF diet? There is an option on the special meals for Gluten Free, but nothing Low Carb.. there is also a diabetic option which when I looked at it was high carb low fat so...

Hi Paul and Susan My conversation with my Diabetes Nurse went something like this Lesley

Hi Vicki, I have used both Viv's modified Atkins diet on here (thank you Viv) and the http://www.dietdoctor.com/lchf to get my guidelines. There is a video on that link too, called the food revolution, which is a little long but well worth watching. I have been eating loads of saturated fat as...

Thank you all, I am grinning like Cheshire cat today :) Hopefully can stick with this lifestyle forever - that's certainly the plan! Lesley

Chrissir1stella, just wondering what kind of diet you are following as it doesn't sound like it keeps you satiated?

My understanding David, is that if you really really really can't live without bread then Burgen is probably the better option. Many of those on a very low carb diet allow themselves a slice or two of Burgen bread a week as a treat. Hope that helps :)

Fantastic going, congratulations :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

I don't yet have a BG meter, but meantime I do check everyday for ketones in my urine. I figure if I have ketones then I haven't gone too high on BG... would you agree?

Thanks init :) I am also low carbing... not looking forward to telling my DN. Think I will wait until she gives me the results from my blood tests which I am due to have this month! I was diagnosed March 2012, but didn't start low carbing until October, so am interested to see what my results...

I have 10% fat greek yogurt, with 50% fat double cream and a few walnuts for my breakfast.. nom nom :)

That's fantastic news, well done :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: May I ask how long it took from when you started following the advise on this forum and which dietary advise you follow?

I don't find that Almond Flour tastes of nuts at all once baked, which is lucky as I am not a lover of marzipan

Congratulations all on your fantastic accomplishments. Losing weight is no easy feat! Over the last three years I have lost 3 stone and 3 dress sizes, would be nice if it continued to go down but I am not dieting as such. I am following a low carb diet in the hope of controlling the diabetes...
