    Vegetarian/Vegan Low Carb Recipe Index

    Sorry not to answer sooner. Have just seen this. Total Sweet website has info re carbs etc. I'm unable to do a link, don't know how. But I would say that a slice of this cake is only 1/16th of the whole. The amount of xylotol used is the same as sugar. It looks like sugar and behaves like sugar.

    Prof Taylor Lecture on Reversing Type 2

Perhaps Prof. Taylor will be explaining that in his Newcastle lecture. I can't get to Newcastle but I am hoping the...

    60 euros

    Well I won't be buying them here again. Next visit I will take some out with me. Perhaps I should put them on my list for Father Christmas. Everything here in Central Italy is expensive except wine and cappucinos.

    60 euros

    I am in Italy at present and , as I've told you am eating to my meter and testing away. Well I have run out of strips ( used up a lot at first making mistakes, trembling fingers etc.) So I decided to buy some more here rather than waiting to get back to UK. You can see from the title what 50...

    What effects BS?

    Thank you all for your replies. You all know well the denials and self control required in our diet and the low meter figures are the reward. I think I was just looking for something to panic about. Thought I could control it all. What is a liver dump?

    What effects BS?

    Hello I need advice again. After a few weeks of encouraging fasting reads (5.6) I have now seen, yesterday and today 6.00 and 6.2. No change in diet so what can effect BS other than carbs. Does anyone else experience this? Thank you in advance.

Anyway, this morning fasting 4.9 followed by the yoghurt bkfst. 2hrs later 5.5 so that is one bkfst I can have. I like bacon and egg Rosie, but if I start cooking a full...

I have continued with my traditional meusli bkfst and have been getting post 2hr readings between 6.2 - 7.2, which is good I think? Now, yesterday fasting BGL was 5.4, 45mins after bkfst I tested (had...

    anti oxidants

    Hello I have just been told I am prediabetic and am seriously thinking of using LCHF diet. I do not need to lose weight and have been eating a well balanced diet which included lots of fruit. Of course I will have to give up the fruit because of all the sucrose (this will be very hard). However...
