It was this one, I found it by the till and bought it to try.

I find it's all in the way you prep it. I hate cauli rice if it's cooked plain in the microwave. I fry it with a bit of butter and make sure I add seasoning that goes with the meal. Then it's lovely.

I love it. What's not to like? It increases the fibre content, keeps you regular, doesn't taste like much and is so cheap per serving as it only comes in massive bags that would last you through a nuclear winter. [emoji13]

Breakfast: Almond milk smoothie with strawberries and raspberries, vanilla whey protein, bit of flaxseed and psyllium powder. Lunch: Salad from a local deli/cafe. Lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, chicken breast, coleslaw, cheddar. Tea: Too knackered from work to cook, so ordered a...

As you'll see from this thread, everyone is different! I have these, and the Lidl ones, as an occasional treat. I eat to my meter so I've thoroughly tested how I react to them, and as a previous poster said, it's not something I would finish a meal with unless it was a very low-carb meal. I...

I had a go at making sugar-free white chocolate today. Oooh boy, it's a learning curve. I used the recipe on the Sugar-Free Londoner blog. It called for allulose but I can't find it anywhere, so went with the recommended substitute of powdered erythritol. I used powdered coconut instead of...

Great to know that airfrying the tortillas should work. I've got the air fryers with the drawers. I'm desperate to order some tortillas but we have no freezer space and it all needs sorting out so we can defrost it before I stock up. Breakfast: a Fulfil chocolate and salted caramel bar, with...

Oooh, these sound great. I had chilli with the family last night, but they have theirs with tortilla chips and rice. I easily subbed the rice but had to forgo the tortilla. I wonder if these would work if I sliced them into triangles and air fried them?

All the best people I know are slightly bonkers, me included.

Hi all, complete forum newbie here, and as is my nature, I'm not dipping a toe in but am wholeheartedly throwing myself in. Hello from Liverpool, and here are my cats. Everyone loves a pet photo.

Thanks all, I think it must have been a contaminated sample as I checked and double-checked the labels. I had the same thing today and tested before and after, and got 5.8 for both.

Yes of course, go for it! I'd be interested to see your results. Next time I make it, I'll take photos at each stage and make a post so you can see. Probably in a week or so though, I rotate the different types of 'bread' so I don't get bored. You can omit the herbs and spices for a plain...

I was so pleased with my breakfast this morning. It's my son's birthday soon and he's asked if we can have a McDonald's breakfast which made me think of how I can join in too. This is microwaved almond 'bread', then toasted, with two sausage patties, some grated mozzarella and a teeny tiny bit...

I'd really appreciate if someone could help me understand what happened, and why. I'm newly-diagnosed, probably type 2, and have been eating to my meter. I realised I can tolerate very few carbs, so I'm on about day 3 of drastically-reduced carbs. I have a typical type 2 history (gestational...

Thank you, that's really good to know. Hopefully I'll be the same. I can manage without grains and potatoes but I'll miss pulses.

The motivation comes from my ADHD. I do love a good problem-solve. I'm riding the wave of motivation while it lasts and hopefully when it wears off, I'll have put enough in place so that low-carbing becomes second nature. I know enough about myself to make sure I always have something...

Hi all, I've just been diagnosed with presumably type 2. My hba1c was 66 and I was very symptomatic with increased thirst and fatigue. I'm overweight and 39 so assuming type 2. I'm complicated in that I have a diagnosis of heart failure, which is well-managed. I have a specialist pacemaker and...
