It is if you can have dairy which is why coconut oil was suggested.

I got some tinned mackerel in olive oil and some rocket. Added balsamic, peppers and onions and was really nice and 31g of fat as used the Ooil as a dressing with the balsamic.

I was diagnosed with IBS when I was 13 and have suffered ever since. I stopped dairy after reading an article on lactose intolerance and all symptoms stopped over night. It was life changing. After a few weeks I went out and bought lactofree products but was really dissapointed when symptoms...

Thanks for the ideas. I can't have any dairy so butter and parmesan are out. I do use clarified butter/ghee sparingly, which I make myself, as this affects me the least but mainly now use lard.

I do like olives so can add some of those in. I have just made some almond butter but it went a bit wrong so will try again now I know what I did wrong. I also eat tons of eggs :)

I am on a LCHF diet and am struggling to get enough fat in in the day. I am doing 1500 cals = 30g carbs, 80g protein and 118g of fat. I've wiggled this around and this is a sweet spot for me. I have to avoid all dairy and the lactofree alternatives don't work for me. I also can't stand...

thanks. I currently have my Hba1c every 6 months so will ask about going every 3 months.

I have managed to come off my insulin completely (apart from a couple of doses over xmas) and am due my hba1c soon. Will I still be able to have 6 monthly hba1c's even though I am in no medication for diabetes?

Thanks I will have a look.

I have been trying to take apple cider vinegar at night to reduce my morning bg's but it gives me stomach ache about an hour after taking it. I tried it just in a glass of water which was grim to say the least!! I've also wizzed it up with water, strawberries and a sweetener which was ok but...

@Brunneria .. no not a joke actually. I can't eat honey as it spikes me so putting a cream on my skin which is 1/3 honey I wondered whether it would absorb. Simple question but glad honey works for you. I didn't use the cream for 3 days and was ok, used the cream again and went up again so...

Yes I tested at 6.5 and then went and washed my hands really well again and retested at 6.2. I would normally be in the low 4's at night as my bg rises through the night. I have been about 2 points up all day for no reason and this is the only thing I have changed. I am going to not use it...

I have started making my own creams and made a cream/ointment for my psoriasis which had a tsp of honey in it. Since I put it on last night my bg's have been a little bit higher than the normal. I've done some googling but can't find an answer as to whether the sugar could be absorbed through...

I am a type 2 diabetic who has recently come off insulin which was my only meds after going on a lchf diet. I would like to do some fast days but am not sure if that would be possible with the diabetes. Does anybody fast and if so do you do the whole day or just a portion of it. Since...

I was thinking how I would like a low carb paleo thread to share recipes and resources so decided to make one myself. I hope you will add to my list when you find a new product/recipe.

It took them a few days and I had to message an admin :)

I'm joined a paleo uk group on Facebook which helps as the ingredients shown on the US sites aren't always available here.

I now eat Paleo after stumbling on it whilst looking for recipes and realised I was almost eating the diet without knowing. I was already low carbing and since starting it have realised that my IBS diagnosis is actually lactose intolerance. All symptoms stopped with the dairy which I was...
