"Go on - treat yourself!" I bought myself flowers instead of fluffy coffee and cake!

I had the same, actually (I have some fairly serious back issues), but, apparently, it's because those of us with weaker / compromised spines will be more sensitive to weight changes, particularly around our tummies (where most of us T2's carry our weight). As we embrace LCHF / a generally...

Food guilt serves no purpose except to make you feel like you've failed, so where's the point in continuing in your endeavour? The truth is, everyone wobbles. And I suspect it was the cold weather as a driver, creating a mood that somewhat enabled the wine and cheese (and hopefully good...

But... again, and I'm feeling a little confounded now: you eat more food when you eat carbs. And when you switch to LCHF (whatever form you prefer), you still have to break the eating habit. Fat is more satisfying; it's a far more dense macronutrient. You try eating half a pound of cheese in a...

You posted a study about ketosis and fat intake.

No, I'm saying they're different states. http://www.tuitnutrition.com/2016/01/dont-be-a-ketard1.html

Fat adapted and ketogenic do not mean the same thing: you can be one without the other. Just a small point (already covered by something I posted).

The diet industry doesn't want anyone to actually lose weight in the long-term. They like repeat visitors who enjoy results after 12 weeks, imagine they're "cured" and then wander back to their "normal" lives, regain all that weight and then return because summer's on the way and it worked so...

Yeah but it's late on a Sunday and there's lots and lots of info about it on the forum already. I'll look tomorrow, when I have more time (and brain power), but (with affection) the dedicated skeptic looks to disprove objectionable ideas themselves :) And those 3 vids were just so people could...

I spent some years in Germany, where the smell of vinegar and boiling cabbage could be smelled everywhere on sunny Saturdays. I remember my mother was eventually taught to make it by a neighbour of ours (It was forever called "Mrs A's" after that) and it became a staple of weekend barbeques and...

Of course they won't. Carbs are a habit as much as anything else: we like to see a nice, full plate of food and when we see an emptier plate, we're instantly thinking of dessert or supper before bedtime. Just like smokers can quit the cigs but miss the habit, so it is with carbs. Maybe the OP...

The "fat adapted" thing is where your body has decided that carbs aren't a macronutrient it can rely on for energy anymore, there isn't enough protein (and this level varies from person to person and even from season to season) to sustain itself on, therefore the most readily available and...

Coffee and cream has little / no carbs in it so it should have little to no impact on your BG at all. But fat (from the cream, eg) will slow any BG spikes (which is why some people can go crazy nuts for ice cream in the summer) so if you're a Liver Dumper (like me) first thing in the morning...

I've honestly never tried to spell that word before - let's go with your spelling. Funnily enough, though, it's a word I use constantly. The hair-dryer is known as the "Huvver-szhuszher", the hand blender is the "szhuszh-szhuszh stick". I think you're onto something, Guzzler! I've actually...

Not a genius! Just one of those people who will literally try almost anything once! Most of the time, the results are far less entertaining and tasty than this. But I've got some other crackers coming up! Parmesan... I'd not thought of that! And then wrapped in a little bit of Parma Ham?

I actually look like this, you know... The flower only comes out of my mouth when food goes in ;)

Well! Variations on that theme... I plopped out the onions onto some kitchen roll (vinegar stops the cheese from sticking!) Lightly heated the cheese in the microwave (just 20 seconds on medium-high) Bashed the peanuts into tiny pieces with a rolling pin (still useful after all!) The trick is...

Don't forget, North American websites will count dietary fibre as carbs, too. In the UK / EU we subtract that out of the total. It can be very misleading to see that a vegetable has a high carb total - make sure that you're using a UK website (or check a UK supermarket website) and be certain...

Here. Some googling. https://bnf.nice.org.uk/drug/pioglitazone.html https://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/advice/how-to-complain-if-youre-unhappy-with-your-gp-or-gp-surgery Again, I'm just some random idiot on the 'net who is finding links from reputable sources and passing them along. I'm...

I had a lipid profile done when my HbA1c was taken, but I wasn't asked to fast and all that happened is on my results it had the numbers and "non-fasting" next to them.
