If you use Excel instead of Word a whole world of automatic calculations & colouring opens up.

Ah yes, Lady & the Tramp! We aren't as cute as those two were, and somehow they never got food on themselves.

There are lots around, in essence you cut the carbs you eat - starches & sugars - right back, and increase vegetables and possibly dairy & meat. If you are used to cooking your own food from raw ingredients it's not that hard. But this is one: https://lowcarbfreshwell.co.uk/meal-planners/

How were they? I assume you cooked the butternut squash, at least to some degree.

Update: I was in ProCook (a very dangerous to my wallet shop, like John Lewis & Lakeland!) and they had greatly reduced spiralizers - the sort you crank by hand. It can't go in the dishwasher but it's very quick to rinse under the tap. Courgettes are a winner, and if I cut down it's side...

I would go to both :)

So we agree!

Yes, it's like that for me with cheese!

They are quick and easy. When I visited Nepal I had curry for breakfast more than once! And really if they are bad or not depends 1) on which cereal it is - some have lots of added sugar - 2) what one's personal reaction to them is. We are told here that the way to find out is to take blood...

But we are all different, so for some of us eating lots of 2 biscuits have 26 carbohydrates of which 1.6g are sugars, and 3.8g fibre. By no means the worst of breakfast cereals as long as it's 2 biscuits without any extra sugar. As a child we used to put demerara sugar on them... It really...

Don't feel bad. He doesn't make pizza most days, and I suspect you would feel even worse if you hurt his feelings. Also whilst some people have spectacular results, others don't. I went from 56 to 46 over a year with diet (and my diet was pretty fair in the first place) & exercise and TBH I...

I've lost weight very gradually by getting rid of rice, pasta, potatoes and cous-cous with my evening meal. I make a lot of one-pan meals, similar to pasta sauces, but I found that riced cauliflower is fine underneath instead of pasta, and also I'm quite happy with a 'rough cut' version I do...

Have you lost a lot of weight? That can lead to metatarsalgia which is what your pain sounds like, due to loss of fat in the soles of the feet. I've got a pair of Hotter shoes, incredibly comfortable. Another solution might be sorbothane insoles, but I agree you should try to see a...

In the UK, most milk is skimmed and then fat added back in as appropriate, so in standardised semi-skimmed milk is 1.7% fat, whole milk is 3.5%. I'm pretty sure the same process goes on when making yoghurt etc. - they use skim milk and add the amount of fat they want. There are a very few...

None and 56. It was a chance diagnosis after one of my cats bit me and the walk-in found I had high blood pressure. My GP had bloods done and that was what came back.

I suspect the blood test was an Hb1Ac which gives a sort of average blood glucose reading over the life of your red blood cells (about 10-12 weeks) and the urine test was to see how your kidneys were doing. And three cheers for your doctor / DN telling you about low calorie. Unfortunately they...

Read the pack to see how many carbs they have, that is in total. KP chilli nuts are 2.3g carbs per 30g helping.

That feeling can last some time - I was in a flat spin for 2-3 months after diagnosis - but I did research and changed my diet. I'm lucky, I have still porridge made with oats for breakfast and a couple of small slices of homemade sourdough bread at lunch but my HbA1c has come down from 56 to...

The sensor just - only just - penetrates the skin. It would be extraordinary for that to cause problems in the muscles forming the rotor cuff, which what your symptoms sound like. I agree with the see a physio advice, and that it sounds like a 'frozen shoulder' If it is impingement that's a...

BMI is OK for average people - Frank Bruno was clearly not average. However an alternative that can be more useful is waist-to-hip ratio, and waist size. Further information: https://www.thecalculatorsite.com/articles/health/alternatives-to-bmi.php
