I re-started ice skating a couple of years ago, after skating a bit as a kid (with mother's constant discouragement!) - it's great exercise and I even did a competition earlier this year. I got some inline skates for the summer but fell and hurt my thumb quite badly - they're nowhere near as...

A few weeks ago I seem to remember reading that when chips had been cooked twice they lost the carbs, or maybe I was dreaming as it sounds too good to be true. However if it is correct, if a restaurant serves chips which were cooked prior to delivery then reheated when served are they ok to eat...

Thanks for the link - there's some great info there. According to DH I expend more energy walking to / from the rink than I do skating ;)

Hello and welcome. I love Michigan - definitely one of my favourite states.

I used to do a bit of skateboarding as a kid but not sure I'd have the nerve now. I tried rollerblading last year - managed to do a few of my ice skating moves then fell over on the way back into the house and got a nasty wrist injury despite wearing wrist / elbow / knee pads.

Well, after a bad start to the day yesterday (wrong yoghurt!) things improved when I discovered that the local supermarket stocked San Pellegrino :) and we ended up at a Chinese with no bottled water and no liquor licence so the only drink options were fizzy drinks meaning I ended up with a can...

There seems to be loads of pre-packaged gluten free foods (including breads) in our supermarkets. I've searched the forum and see various mentions of gluten free sausage etc. so wondered if gluten free ready made foods would be an option for LCHF occasionally - sometimes when I travel the only...

Things haven't been going well today - I discovered I bought the wrong yoghurt last night so instead of some nice creamy Greek yoghurt it was some rather odd organic plain - yuck. That wasn't helped by discovering 2 of the 4 packs of raspberries I also bought were rotten - it's very difficult to...

Thanks for the suggestion. I always used to drink Tesco sparkling water, then just transitioned to the flat stuff for some reason I can't remember - I think it was just easier as OH preferred it. I'll have to take a look in the local supermarket but last time I looked the selection here wasn't...

I'm in the same position - I've never been a fan of tea or coffee so drank a couple of cans of coke most days (and the full fat proper stuff - not the overly fizzy and full of E numbers diet versions which gave me a dodgy tummy too!!), however it's worse here in Canada because it has more carbs...

Thanks all for the advice. I'm not sure I would survive exercising without eating but I really don't want to be digesting a full meal. It sounds like having a large breakfast then a large dinner with some snacks for lunch is what I'm going to try first, then I can see how I feel and make some...

Well I started with the gradual approach yesterday, mainly because we have quite a lot of carb-y stuff in the house (breakfast cereals, etc.) that I don't want to throw out, but I've drastically reduced the portions and I'm focusing on low carb. Even after such a short period I noticed two...

Wow - there are some very talented people on here. I do a bit of knitting but currently can only manage scarves. I could probably do more with a bit of practice. My other hobby is ice skating - I skated a bit as a child, then started having lessons a year ago and have passed some very basic ice...

I've been thinking about this and I'm going to try to take some Greek yogurt and berries with me as I had some today and would have felt happy doing exercise afterwards. This is all so new to me and I just worry that if I don't have a plan I'll end up tempted by the chocolate machine.

So, I'm planning to start an LCHF diet gradually over the next few weeks, but will also be walking and skating several times each week at lunchtime - my current plan is 1-2 mile walk then skate for 90 mins then 1-2 mile walk, followed by another 1-3 mile walk with the dog a bit later (probably...

I think the gradual approach will probably work best for me. I've not slept because of the constant loo visits so feel a bit tired / light-headed and I'm worried that a sudden change might make things worse.

I am currently waiting for an appointment to see my GP but everything points to Type 2 diabetes. For quite some time I've needed to get up during the night to go to the loo once or twice, but in the last 2 weeks it's escalated to every hour so I started to do a bit of research. My diet has never...
