love some of these ideas, going to try the kale crisps definitely - how do you make the choc truffles?

Going to conduct some research into this one...........

Asda do a high protein loaf using pulse flours, working out at about 9g of carbs per slice. I love bread (correction - LOVED) and I sometimes like to have two slices as a sandwich for lunch at work

I know exactly what you mean. When I am doing LCHF I feel so much better, but I have slipped off and am finding it so hard to get back to. All fine at one point then what with relationship break up, Christmas, a range of family and financial problems, it got difficult to stick to. Now being...

Eating out is definitely problematic - it is very hard to order something that is not carb heavy, and I do resent ordering something that I am only going to eat half of. There are places, but they do need seeking out. A couple of places local to me offer healthy, low carb choices, though tend...

Agree with all of the above. Not only that, lchf DOES keep you feeling fuller for longer. Stable appetite, more energy, all good. It is the answer to bg spikes. To my mind it is the answer for type 2

No penalty, Other than a missed opportunity to maintain one's health I suppose. Trying to think in terms of awareness and prevention. If not mandatory then at least advisory! I am just trying to think of prevention rather than cure. Many people think type 2 wont ever happen to them. I have a...

My personal view is this - in relation to type 2 - age 25 or so, it should be advised (even compulsory?) for EVERYONE to have a blood test to check for diabetes or pre-diabetes. That way so many people could be "caught" in time and given the right diet and exercise advice before it got to the...

Agree totally. I was told it is just not necessary to test "we don't want you to have the stress of testing - it isn't necessary, " Agree with what you say about testing being the biggest breakthrough - absolutely vital to my mind.

I had the same. I was told it was not necessary for me to test. I totally disagree. It is my body, my disease and I want to do what I can to manage it. Like you I wanted to test myself, after all, blood sugar can be affected not only by food, but also by stress, illness, exercise etc and I...

your replies are so helpful, many thanks

yes please

I wish GPs were as informed as most of the people on here!

Thanks for your reply - earlier blood tests had revealed that my cholesterol levels were too high, so I was started on statins, I have yet to have a blood test since starting lchf

Hi I am currently doing lchf, and generally doing pretty well. appetite more stable, bg readings lower, etc, but am a bit confused about a couple of things. My diet includes lots of healthy fats - fish, nuts etc, but I am not sure about other fats. Some people seem to say that full fat...

Hi there I am doing lchf, and I can say that it suits me, my bg readings are good, my appetite is more stable and it just feels right, I feel better, although I have previously been a carb addict. I have yet to have a blood test that reveals my cholesterol levels though, and I do take statins...

Like you, I love carbs - potatoes, bread, rice and pasta were ALL my favourite food. But they are like a drug to me when I eat them - the more I eat, the more I crave them, and feel so hungry. The wonderful thing about lchf for me, is that without carbs, or with only a very very small amount...

I watched the programme and surely trying the lchf diet would be preferable to stomach reduction surgery? I am type 2 and only found out about lchf on this forum.. For me it is a godsend - my bg is stable, my appetite is stable with no cravings, my diet is healthy, I am losing weight, more...

I suffer night sweats too, and always sleep with a waterproof mattress protector - change the bottom sheet often - pillow protectors and a lightweight duvet. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Hi there - I was diagnosed about 6 years ago and started on Metformin. About a year ago my GP switched my Metformin to slow release, which I take with my evening meal. What I have found happening on most days, is that the following day when I go to the loo, the tablet has passed through my...
