    My low(er) carb journey as a veggie

    Thread started, however minor issue with linking. Think I know what I did wrong, so will fix later.

    Vegetarian/Vegan Low Carb Recipe Index

    This is a work in progress as it'll take ages to get all the suitable recipes indexed here, so please bear with me as I'll mainly be doing this during my lunch hour at work. Please feel free to suggest other recipes on the forum that should be added to this.. I've decided to create a post...

    My low(er) carb journey as a veggie

    Once I've started the thread, drawing my attention to any recipes that should be added would be great :) I plan to work my way through the main low carb recipe thread as the basis for the list, so that should keep me occupied sometime!

    My low(er) carb journey as a veggie

    Just today, I've found a new project for myself - I'm going to make one of those posts that contains helpfully labelled links to veggie/vegan recipes, and call it something obvious like Veggie recipe index, or Veggie low carb options (or something else, feel free to suggest way!) I've just...

    My low(er) carb journey as a veggie

    Spooky! I'm walking distance from it :( I could do that at the weekend, but we're not allowed toasters at work as too many people set the fire alarm off (leading to false alarms/charges from the fire brigade). I've got a fridge and a microwave at work, so reasonable number of options :)

    My low(er) carb journey as a veggie

    Really struggling with carb cravings today. I'm not hungry, I'm just noticing I'm not eating as much and my subconcious is needling me to do something about it :( So I took action - I sat down and worked out how many carbs I was eating on an average day before I decided to lower my carb...

    My low(er) carb journey as a veggie

    To clarify, I'm one of those vegetarians that doesn't eat meat/fish even occasionally/in a tight spot (I actually dislike the stuff, became a veggie originally as I didn't like the taste/texture). As this is my thread, I would prefer it if all recipe/meal ideas suggested stayed away from meat &...

    Diabetic Craft Club

    Great idea for a thread! I've not done anything crafty for a while, keep meaning to get back into it. I've done some low level jewellery making (want to advance my skills a bit), I've got candle making supplies sitting by to give that a go, and I've got a notion to make a patchwork quilt...

    My low(er) carb journey as a veggie

    @Enclave that's a fantastic weight loss, and encouraging to hear when trying to stick to a new way of eating. Sounds like your wife should write a cookbook, but if she's busy maybe you could write it for her leaving her free to create more good recipes :)

    My low(er) carb journey as a veggie

    Are Quorn sausages nice? I like the sound of that with beans and omelette. There's a really good 'Stickie' post at the top of the low carb diet forum that gives you a good introduction to low carbing, including how many grams of carbs is low carb. It's very well written :)

    My low(er) carb journey as a veggie

    Thanks @Scimama , I'll have a look at the Atkins shakes. More expensive though, I'll have to see how often I'm likely to need to resort to them. I'm hoping it's minimal. Greek salad sounds interesting, I'll have a look to see what's in it (I'm really not keen on salads, but it's one of the...

    My low(er) carb journey as a veggie

    Hi izzi, I definitely need to find a good low carb brownie recipe, I'll hunt through the forum until I find one :) That would be a great treat. My main concern about testing loads on the fingers, is I often go up to the stables close to the times I would have tested, and I'm concerned about...

    My low(er) carb journey as a veggie

    Wow, so many responses! Thank you so much for all the suggestions, I wouldn't have thought of things like using courgette or leek where normally you use pasta. Thanks also for the tip regarding drinking lots of water prior to getting my blood tested, I will make sure I do this. On my tablet...

    My low(er) carb journey as a veggie

    I have decided to create a thread for my progress low-carbing - partly so I can see how I'm progressing, and also so that other vegetarians/vegans may get ideas on what to eat (or suggest things to me). Putting it in the Low-Carb Diet Forum as that's the diet I'm going to try and follow. A...

    Anonymous Question Food choices to ease nausea from Metformin

    I found cutting out fizzy drinks completely (even diet versions), cutting down on bread and spicy food made a difference, until I started to tolerate it better. I felt like I had IBS when I first started on the tablets :(
