The only bread I could find was the Burgen Soya and Linseed which I think was 11 c a slice. I think I overdosed on the Lidl rolls and suddenly went right off them. I've now found Weightwatchers wholemeal which comes in at 9c a slice and at least tastes like normal bread without all the seeds...

Love all the tales of disasters :D Sorry but it cheers me up to think that not everyone is godesses in the kitchen :D

Oh don't. Making my mouth water. Can't believe I haven't had that for over 5 months now and yet it was a must have before lchf became a way of life. It looks nice enough but all I could see was another list of things I haven't got and would have to buy. I've chucked out loads of Almond milk...

Oh yes, the Chia Seeds. I'd forgotten about them. I soaked some overnight and ended up with a jug of frog spawn like stuff that tasted of nothing and I forgot what I was supposed to do with it. Know what you mean about the cost too. I have opened bags of Chia Seeds, Flaxmeal, Psyllium Husk...

Thank you to everyone who replied xx It's alway good to hear others take on things. That was interesting - some for and some not so keen but it was definitely informative x Yes, that makes sense. Thank you. x

@poshtotty Thank you for plowing through all that. I just read your story so far and it was very inspiring. I don't think I gave the Metformin a fair chance to be honest. I didn't have the benefit of all the experiences on here at the time either. I should have persevered a bit more. I am...

Aww what a shame. At least you managed to eat some :D :D Chuckle time again - sorry but I thought I was the only one that had disasters. People haven't had the best results with baking parchment for the Oopsie bread so not sure if it would work better with pizza crust. I bought one of those...

Ooops! Maybe I won't then ... lol x

When I was first diagnosed in December 2014 I had an HBA1c of 7.3% or 56 mmol/mol. I told the DN that I would lose weight, change my eating habits and exercise more. I didn't do any of these things and carried on eating bread, chips, pies, cakes and biscuits (head in the sand/it's not...

That looks very different to the Oopsie recipe I followed. I'm tempted to have another go, thanks. x

It's supposed to be a low carb substitute for bread/rolls etc. but mine bore no resemblance to the lovely pictures here: https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=oopsie%20bread

I think my Ooopsie was beyond redemption. Daft thing was, I sliced it up and put it in the freezer hoping for a miracle but when I took some out and tried it again it was just as awful. I do agree that the almond flour taste seems to take over and likewise things with ground flaxseed as the...

Sorry but that did make me chuckle - just glad I'm not the only one xx I decided I didn't like the taste of Brie anyway but thought it might magically transform into something I could eat if it was puffed but there was nothing puffed about it. I'm not a great cheese lover/eater anyway but do...

Every time I experiment with any low carb recipes they end up in the bin :yuck: My Ooopsie bread would make rather nice stepping stones for the garden My Brie Puffs ended up as a pool of cheese on parchment My Crunchie Peanut Butter muffin was like a doorstop And as I'd not got any cheddar I...

@ladybird64 I'm not much good on the dietary advice I'm afraid but good ideas from Celeriac. I just wanted to say that I, too, have suffered the loss of an adult child and I can't begin to imagine how awful dealing with cancer and that was for you. Just wanted to send you a (((hug))) xxxxx

Fell off the wagon big time today. Succumbed to a panini made for me by my well meaning sis-in-law. Should have said no thanks but was so hungry and it looked so good that I ate it. BS 2 hours after 13.3 OMG!

I think that once you have been on the lchf way of eating plus being on this forum it makes you so much more aware of what over-indulgence can do to you so even if you do decide to throw caution to the wind and have a bit more of what you fancy your brain will still limit your choices. For...

That sounds interesting @Celeriac Will definitely look out for it. In the meantime, though, I stumbled across The Atkins Diet website when I was looking for a recipe. You've probably seen it (I'm always the last to know about these things) but I was quite impressed with the variety of recipes...

7.3 this morning :( Not good and I don't know why.
