Guilt free alcohol! Almost too good to be true.....

Quirkybee I saw on another thread that you said that you still eat cereals for breakfast. Is that still true? Coupled with with the fish and chips would seriously compromise any LC ambitions.

Hi guys! Posting a bit dipsy so please forgive any typos. We took my parents out this afternoon. I had a beef carvery lunch avoiding the potatoes. yorkshire and gravy, with plenty of green veggies. I also drunk a bottle of red (approx) wine. I just got home and thought I would check my BG...

I have read that there are issues with coconut milk. LOL. Interesting data regarding the Japanese, who consume far more soya than Europeans: https://www.atkins.com/how-it-works/library/articles/the-good-news-about-soy

@Quirkybee, Some of that tuna is quite high in carbs. I get the plain tuna steaks in brine, which have negligible carbs. I have been on the LCHF for just under a week now. The key for me is absolutely no bread (accept high protein LIDL rolls), potatoes, rice, pasta, beer or sugar. I have...

I notice that the opinion on coconut milk for low carb diets is divided. Check out this link as an example. https://chriskresser.com/3-reasons-why-coconut-milk-may-not-be-your-friend/ Personally, I like soya milk which has hardly any carbs. I guess the key is how much you consume.

My second day of posting: B: Smoked Salmon with 2 scrambled eggs. L: Chicken Caesar salad. D: Smoked Salmon salad and some strawberries with Greek natural yoghurt (full fat) for dessert. Still impatiently waiting for my BG meter.......

Going back to your Alpro question I use the unsweetened Soya Wholebean. I quite like the taste (maybe I'm odd) and it has only 0.2g/100ml carbs. I.e. negligible. I like it in smoothies and it makes excellent "creamy" scrambled eggs if you use a lot...

Lee, I too was diagnosed very recently (just before the weekend after the 2nd blood test). I was very concerned about the condition. However, reading your post really puts my situation into perspective. I agree that the key thing that you must concentrate on is ensuring the best quality of...

Waiting for my meter to arrive is killing me. I feel that when I know my numbers better, it will give me additional motivation to eat better and exercise more. Nothing beats a good S-curve!

Hi Newbie here, recently diagnosed as type 2. The low carb approach seems like a very logical and sustainable method to controlling my BS. Not sure of the numbers yet - waiting for my BS meter to arrive. Anyway, thought I would post today's meals as a way of keeping myself motivated. B: 5 egg...
