Hi all Just to let you know that I have tried a little experiment when eating out (2 "leisure" meals, one business breakfast and lunch so far). When I go out, I take my Lidl Protein Roll(s) with me and ask if they (the restaurant) would be happy to serve it as part of my meal - for example, I...

Hi all....which shop chains stock this stuff? I went on their website and looked at the store finder and was pleased to see that our local co-op had it....until I got there when there was none to be seen. Do all branches of Waitrose carry it?

@Shar67 - Hi again - it's the difference between this... and this both work really well, but I'm just too bl**dy lazy. You ought to see the contents of my tool shed - it's like a "man-cave" version of the back of the kitchen cupboard where all the sandwich makers, slo-cookers etc. go to...

@Shar67 Sincere question but don't the carrots, squash and beetroot do anything to your BS or does the insulin keep it under control?

Probably just flagged yourself up on every Government computer between Cheltenham and Washington D.C. Just sayin'.....:wideyed:

Hi Maxine See my post re. Zucchini (courgettes over here) noodles in the Low Carb Diet forum. http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/the-wonderful-low-carb-courgette.106618/ Just try them - you'll be amazed at how like the real thing they are - without all the grotty carbs in pasta. Can you...

Hi all - first, let me say this is not an advert - just a vote of thanks from a very satisfied T2 person who's currently doing LCHF (with some success, I might add...). I bought some spiralised courgettes from the Co-Op as I had never tried them. Cooked 'em up in a stir fry with some garlic...

X 10.....get my vote.....
