Well last night and this morning I eventually went the loo and my bowels opened. I think that since i've been moderate LCHFing my gut is sort of adapting to the change in diet as it still expect carbs, but now i'm eating protein and fat, my gut doesn't know what to expect.

I still need to get my diet sorted out and will do in the new year. For now I have £10 to last me till I go home next Monday and what I have left are carby foods in my freezer that I have been trying to swap with my flatmates. But tonight one of my friends is getting me a McDonald's meal as he...

I've checked and my medications don't clash, but with lixisenatide the common side effects are nausea, vomiting, headache, low blood sugar. Also my dose of metformin has not changed in a year and has always been 2 500mg twice a day. What are flax seeds and do I buy them from supermarkets?

I've been feeling constipated since December 1st after cutting down to having 100 grams of carbs from 150+ and i've only been able to pass liquid stools and an untold amount of gas. My blood sugar levels have been high some times (due to stress) but they have not been higher than 15. I've not...

What buffet food could I have as tomorrow at my uni I'm attending a talk and their will be a free buffet, which as a student I can't complain. But as a diabetic I don't want to be sending my bg levels high. What I know is that the buffet will have a salad bar and regular buffet foods (pork pies...

I've been thinking about making a low carb quiche as I love the filling in a quiche, but I hate the crust and end up just eating the filling. Is their a way to make a quiche without a crust or mini quiches in cupcake cases?

Bluetit, its not the student environment that is hard for me. I have been in a bar several times without having a sip of alcohol and with my mates all really drunk and I feel ok, but when I am stressed I feel like i need just a pint of beer to relax my body. I am sensible when it comes to...

I get where you are coming from bluetit, but all that I ever drink now is water as I've stopped drinking cordial, squash, juice, smoothies, energy drinks, milk and diet sodas. It seems to me that the only drinks I can have is just water, tea or coffee. I have a dash of regular cola at my uni's...

VinnyJames, I'm not that much of a wine drinker. I've tried white, red and rose wine, but I only like red wine when it is cooked in a bolognese. I've been trying to swap the beer for spirits, but i've only managed to have a drink that has a shot of whisky dropped into a pint of Coors Light beer.

I tested at 9:30am with a BG level of 9.5 (had a lot of beer last night), then again at midday with a BG level of 7.2 and now my BG level is 5.6.

Well today, I've got my lixisenatide prescription and 300 test strips after the pharmacist told me that the delivery was late yesterday. I've had a low carb full english that included; 2 fried eggs in olive oil, 3 rashers of bacon (pan fried) and a a gammon steak (grilled) with some sliced...

Yeah there are some easy steam bags of cauliflower, broccoli and carrots. As for salad items I will be buying them from my local co-op as i always get salad items from deliveries where their use by date is for either the next day or 2 days after.

This is my LCHF Asda shopping list. I am looking to spend around £30 a week for when I start back uni in January. Most of the items have under 5 grams of carbs per serving, except for the Frikadellen which has 7.2 grams per serving. Feel free to comment on my shopping list and I am open to...

I would like to contribute as my live well advisor today has tasked me to write up a LCHF meal plan for a week and send it to her by next friday. She wants me to write up my own weekly meals with my own ideas so that I have less chance of reverting back to eating carbs if I choose foods that I...

Nope. She suggested nothing about an increase in medication, but she did say that I should be less stressed and try relaxation techniques.

I've read about the Newcastle Diet, but have not attempted it. Would the meal replacements have to be Optifast shakes or can it be something else like Tesco's Ultra Slim shakes. Also my BG levels are slowly returning normal as 2 hours ago they were 13.1 and i've just tested now and they are at 8.1

I'm committed to go the LCHF way as I want to lose 50kg before my graduation in January 2016 and to impress my parents. I know I make up excuses, I do this all the time. Its like I've got a gym membership for a year and haven't been their in over a month as I had mole surgery. It has healed up...

I am using up what carbs I have in first for my breakfast. I do have tinned mackerel in sweet chilli sauce, beef and chorizo burgers, cheese, salsa, Turkey steaks, eggs, tuna, frozen cauli and broccoli, hash browns, bacon, cream, pancakes, crumpets, pasta n sauce, mixed seeds, bran flakes...

Well my appointment was AWFUL! I didn't get to see my doctor, instead I was greeted by a nurse who told me that my doctor was unavailable. I told her about my gut and she examined me, then told me that I needed more fibre in my diet and recommended to me that I should have a bowl of Fruit &...

I've got an appointment for the GP today at 12:30pm
