I still cannot get used to the fact that things like bacon and cream are not really bad for you... Didn't stop me eating them but i always felt really guilty. What is "LC" and "SF" are they brands of products?

It has been sooooo helpful!!!! I hit the site running! I was shocked to hear i was approaching prediabetes, so immediately cut out all sugar, pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, as soon as I started the medication a week ago. I went really low carb (almost 0) and i have lost 7kg already!!!! This is...

Got it!:)

You are a star, i was just googling "Fathead Pizza", when you replied. :happy: I did not realise that was the actual name of that type of Pizza!. I will definitely make one next week following your recipe!.... BTW... is that ground almond or almond flour... Never ever used the stuff before.

Well you have landed on your feet! I only came across this forum a week ago, so i am a Newbie too, and i am genuinely amazed by how caring and helpful so many are here. I am sure that with the advice you will get here and a bit of determination, you will get the better of this.

Thanks for the advice... much appreciated. Medication leaflet does not say anything about skipping meals, and Doc on holiday for the next few weeks... I think i will have a few small cubes of pork ( pinchos morunos) and a leaf salad with a tomato and bit of red pepper.

Funnily enough I was just skulling a pint of water and lemon juice!

That looks amazing!!!! Where do i find the recipe for that? Beyond delicious!!!!

Hi all! I just started my second week of Ozempic and today I have not felt hungry all day. Is it safe to skip eating completely today? Last week I stopped all sugar and carbs, and stuck to green leafy veg, meat, Greek yogurt and berries. Lost 7 kg over the week and Glucose is 4.6 this...

Is it safe to skip eating all day when on no Carb or sugar? Hi …. I have just started my second week of Ozempic and today I have not felt hungry all day. Is it safe to skip eating completely today? Last week I stopped all sugar and carbs, and stuck to green leafy veg, meat, Greek yogurt and...

Oooh and Yuk! The thought of a photo is horrific!!!!... All cameras are banned when i am in swimwear!!:***: LOL. I took another reading later, before dinner and as you say it was very different.. down to 4.0. I am leaving the next test until just before lunch, so a fast for 16 hours ( but i did...

Thanks... Will check them. LOL... this is kind of like being on a roller coaster... I thought i learned a fair bit about reducing diabetes risk and low carb weight loss.... After learning a bit more i now realise i am lost in this forest and all i can see are trees. I got my glucose testing...

I was thinking about making a spread sheet to record what was happening with weight,glucose levels and food i was eating and then i realised that someone has probably done this and done it better. I looked on Google apps and there are few apps on there that let you note your data. Has anyone...

Skipped breakfast. Lunch: Choucroute with tiny bacon lardons, a bit of goose fat and cooked in a little wine (i reckon most of the alcohol evaporated in the cooking), 1/4 of a smoked sausage. Dinner: Celery soup.... And a bowl of greek yogurt, a few blueberries and 1/2 tsp of stevia sugar...

I have been seeing a lot about using full fat milk as opposed to skimmed or semi skimmed. From what i have seen from a few google searches, skimmed milk has more or less the same sugar and carbs but much less fat than full fat milk. So why is it preferable? Apparently there was a myth that...

Hi... LOL... i did not notice the age of the thread!!!! Thank you so much for you very helpful response. I got it now :)

Hi Grazer... I am a newbie to all this but was surprised by what i read in this thread. I thought we were supposed to get sugar as low as possible, and carbs too as they contain sugar? what levels should i be trying for?

Doesn't all chocolate or cocoa powder contain a little sugar?

Excellent post, thank you. I am pretty much following the same diet as you. Ate near to no processed food for the last 40 years but rice, pasta, biscuits, beer, coca cola, orange juice and an evening cocktail were the things that got me. All of that cut out now.

Indeed. I have given all sugar, rice pasta and all below ground veg a complete miss now. The no carb veg is a bit boring, but i am learning! Made a delicious avocado lettuce spring onion ( green part only), homemade mayonnaise, red pepper salad, with a pork chop the day before yesterday. Had...
