Are you saving? I seem to spend a lot more on my weekly food shop but save a lot more by not buying my extra large pizza every week. My lists seem to be a lot larger with more staple ingredients and I shop at tescos now rather than Aldi. Probably spend about £25 on average

So my family is having a BBQ on Monday. Luckily I'm going to the supermarket with them to decide. What should I eat and what should I avoid? I'm doing low carb and I gather most food is ok but not certain sausages and no couscous or bread. Will I still have a lot of options? Are burgers ok...

Egg and bacon for brekkie salad with cheese olives and Caesar dressing and in evening generally meat and veg I also snack on cheese or celery sticks or pepperami. According to one calculator I'm having enough protein albeit in a big deficit and in another I'm not. So will I note lose weight if...

So I've recently started keto. It's going well and I feel dedicated but sometimes I feel like I'm just not getting it right. Ok my fat is high and my carbs low. I have planned exactly what to have every lunch and breakfast. I have bought keto recipe books. But it seems like I'm doing parts wrong...

So I haven't actually started my keto yet. It will start when I get my shopping and I've already compiled a list. I've calculated how many carbs I'll roughly be having and it will be roughly in the 40g mark. My questions are a. Is that enough to reach ketosis? And b. Even if I don't reach...

So I thought I had it sussed what I would eat. But my sister is fueling doubt in my mind. I want to start a low carb diet as I've been diagnosed with prediabetes today. But I'm being told by her I need to limit fat aswell? Does this matter if I'll be eating clean anyway? Obviously I'll try and...

I've just found out Im prediabetic today. For the record it was 8.8 after 2 hours. I'm going to get a dietician . Any other tips?

I just went and got a print out from my doctors. Apparently my initial blood test was only 5.6 only slightly out of range. And on GTT it was 5 and then 8.8. so not half as bad as I thought ( the receptionist obviously gave me the wrong information). Still it did give me quite a scare. What can I...

Yeah I have a telephone appointment on Monday. I will ask him what I should eat. Any other advice on what to ask? I need to get those figures clarified because i think the receptionist gave me the figures for the GTT and not the first blood test I had possibly

It would be purely to get my blood sugar down. I think my blood sugar was 8.8 fasting. But my GTT was normal. Im seeing my doctor to talk about it and I'm not 100% those were the figures. I just assumed having high blood sugar I should do something about it? If I don't do low carb what...

I haven't been diagnosed yet. But I'm being cautious. According to my calculations ill be eating around 1000 calories a day. My tdee is something like 2000. This is including snacking on 2 pieces of fruit per day. My lunch is very light (2 bits of ryvita with cottage cheese) has anyone got some...

If I snack on 2 pieces of fruit a day would that be considered excessive?

I asked the receptionist but she didn't really know what she was talking about. She said had 5 for GTT I don't know what it was after the energy drink. Unless she meant the 8.8 was what it was after. Because I'm pretty sure the Dr said I was only 0.1 over for the first blood test. I will ask for...

Hi I'm Lawrence nice to meet you all :) I had a fasting blood test recently which came as 8.8 for blood sugar. Which I've been told is considerably high for someone without diabetes. I've since had a GTT which said it was normal which is relieving but I want to take action to be in the safe...
