I want/need to lose some weight and she thinks too much protein is 'binding' me up and I need more fibre to push things though. I'm pretty regular but we didn't actually discuss that!

So, my bunnies dinner? I'll have a chat with them later, see if they'll share...;)

Thanks both - I don't want to increase my carbs, but am wondering if I do need to increase my fibre (I've never really taken note of how much fibre I consume but my digestion is working ok). I love almonds, will definitely try that!

Hello, I tend to be a lurker on here but after a blood pressure check with the nurse yesterday, I could do with some help/advice please.:bookworm: We discussed my weight (it doesn't fluctuate but there is too much of it) and what I eat. She agreed its a very healthy diet but thinks I have too...

Thanks Clivethedrive. That's great! :)

No. What's that? ;):D I just prefer to go with recommendations.

Hi, what's a mug cake?

Hi, I'm looking for alternative types of flour i can use to bake - whether its bread, cake, muffins, pastry , pizza base etc. My local health food type shop stocks the below flours. Anyone got any advise as to which are low carb and what i can use them for Teff flour green pea flour yellow pea...

anyone know the gluten content of these? I eat them because Im T2 and hubby eats them because they're in the house.sigh. He is considering going gluten free so it might mean he stops nicking them! I slice them thinly so i get 4 triangular slices out of each one , so i get 2 sandwiches out of...

oh p00, :( I've got a bag in my freezer, which I roast, was hoping to rice it. Spiralize it? That would make a right old mess! :hilarious:

I do so far. I made celeriac remoulade the other day - oooh, get me! I do find celeriac a bit tricky as it keeps falling off. Practice makes perfect :rolleyes:

I'm a bit late to this particular party, but why is frozen cauli no good for 'ricing'? I'm loving cauli-rice - I had a Chinese at the weekend and used cauli instead of normal rice. My bloods only raised by 2.1 :happy:

I only went and bought one of those table top spiralizers like lovinglife posted about. Its fab. No more grazed knuckles!! Just need to figure out how to cut veg without losing the tips of my fingers.... I feel my entire veg intake will be spirally! :D

ah, it all becomes clear. I don't know about anyone else but I don't have that kind of spiralizer. Mine is hand held - see pic. I end up grating my knuckle as i get near the end of whatever I'm spiralizing. I should use the holder thing that comes with it!!

i tried red pepper and it was a disaster, lol. Its the wrong shape and too squishy, and like Mrs MND, I grated my finger - if there is a knack, I'd love to know. I'll peruse the veg aisle tonight in Asda and see what catches my eye, I do love celeriac so will definitely get one. I *will* try...

I have just bought a spiralizer and so far I've tried sweet potato and carrot so far and made crisps. It worked well so I'm keen to try other veg, for making crisps or 'spaghetti'. Anyone got suggestions for low(ish)carb veg to try? BTW I hate courgette but am willing to try it as people do...

I find I spend ages searching for stuff on myfitnesspal unless i create my own. Its been a while so I might have another look, see if we can get along, lol. I have an iphone and ipad

I did have myfitnesspal but it doesnt focus on carbs at all. I'd prefer not to pay if possible ta

I've just seen the nurse and my previous hba1c was 55, so I'm down 1. She wants me under 50 or to go on metformin. She says this could help with the weight loss? She's very supportive and told me to have a think and do some research of my own - so I'm straight on here! I kind of feel like I'll...

Ok, Ive got my results: as i said before, HbA1c is 54 which according to the pages of results i got, is between good and tight control... liver function - there is an ! next to the ALT level which is 49iu/L - in brackets it says (5-40) so I guess that is what I should ideally be? cholesterol =...
