I think we all know how it feels. You will be OK

Hmmm so um, you are coming to my house to cook right? :p:D

In a word.......CHEESECAKE!!!!!!! There are thousands of low carb cheesecake recipes out there. You can have one low carb and one regular so no one is left out. Your ice cream sounds wonderful, I have just acquired an ice cream maker but have not experimented with it yet. Be careful with chili...

A mixture of erythritol and stevia is very good. They tend to cancel out each others aftertastes. This can be bought already mixed together. I wouldn't know any brands in the UK though. Maybe someone else does.

Hello and welcome to the forum. :) I tend to stick to 20 grams of total carbs or less per day. No one can tell you exactly how much is right for you because we all have different tolerances. The best advice is to get a meter and test before eating and then at 1 and 2 hours after. 1 hour will...

I also wish you both all the best. Please take care of yourself as well.

Welcome to the forum and well done! :)

A friend of mine was trying low carb and had a big bag of sugar free gummi bears stashed in her house. She knew they were a very small amount kind of thing. Her mother invited herself into the house while no one was home and ate half the bag. The results were spectacular to say the least.

Maltitol is the worst offender and is the one used most often commercially. Even a very small amount can put me in the bathroom for hours. Not fun. Erythritol, often mixed with stevia, is a much better choice but is not found in many commercially available chocolates and when you do find one it...

I am not sure what a pork bap is? Cheese, olives, and olive oil are all diabetic friendly. Butter, eggs and...

The article states the mother was out at the time.

Coconut oil is largely saturated fat and is fine. It is the refined veg oils like canola and sunflower that are bad. Margarine should never be eaten and should have a biohazard sign on it.

I am on 1500 mg per day. I was told by my doc that 2g was the max dose per day. I am in Canada.

Welcome to the forum. :)

Yes stress can do it. I have the same problem, I have stopped losing even though I am following LCHF properly at about 20 grams per day. In my case I think that high inflammation levels and other autoimmune conditions is the source of most of my stress. It is physical stress. Emotional stress...

Morning levels are the last to come down and probably the least useful for gauging how you are doing. The best gauge is your post meal readings. Give yourself a couple of weeks for your body to adapt to the low carb. You may be surprised at just how well you can do.

I believe we evolved to crave sugar because it makes us want to eat fruits in season. When our ancestors had the chance to get those nutrients they needed. But that season was short and the amounts of sugar was small. The fruits we have today that are closest to how nature made them are berries...
