Believe me, after this I am going to get into shape like never before. I will keep losing weight to my target, I will be exercising and keeping fit. It was a wake up call. And I must admit, I had a donner kebab the other night ... pitta and all. Still stayed below 50 on carbs and my BG was...

I've been doing the LCHF diet and keeping my carbs below 50 (most days below 15 - 18). I've also been meditating/learning Tai Chi (started for blood pressure as it was very high and I've brought it down significantly) as I realised that my super stressed out (unfortunately natural) state is a...

Is this good or bad? I know I need to lose all the stored energy around my liver ... is that what this is doing? Or is this bad? Also, figured out today that stress spikes my BG in a massive way. I was running late for first day of uni, stressing big time, took BG and it was 7.0!!!

Ok, so I have done a full week of monitoring and was wondering if someone would look at my numbers and just let me know their thoughts on how I am doing?

I drink a green tea with matcha that I get from Costco. It tastes foul, IMO, but I add a little fresh lemon juice and I like it.

Thank you. I honestly believe I am in a positive frame of mind thanks to everyone here. The support system this place provides is invaluable. And everyone is just so helpful and nice. I don't think I would have been able to do this without everyone here. So ... Thank you ALL.

I love a cover version when done well. This is one of those IMO. Metallica covering Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Tuesday's gone".

This post has just made me the happiest man alive. I have been going mad trying to think what I can use as spaghetti (to go with meatballs ... my favourite dish EVER) and the leeks idea never occurred to me! YOU GENIUS!! How do you prepare them? Also, you have just given me SO MANY ideas. You...

I've been sticking with the LCHF diet for a week now. It started getting easier yesterday. Before hand I was starting to crave carbs, not now. I have been eating things like : Breakfast - 2 eggs and 2 rashers of bacon, eggs and ham ... pretty much 2 eggs and some meat. Lunch - 5 tomatoes and...

Wow. Confusing!! Thanks for the converter!

I have seen people posting their results and just wondered why some are decimals like 5.5, 6.2 and others are whole numbers like 52, 60. Are there two different ways of reading it? I am probably being a bit dense but I just can't figure it out!

Last year I was 303lbs. On the 17th September 2014 I weighed 266lbs. Today I weigh 251.4lbs, I am using the LCHF diet and loving the weight loss!!

If I think of anything, I'll let you know. But it seems everything is included and perfect!

Thanks for the advice. :) I've downloaded @Andrew Colvin's app and, I must say, I love it. A big thank you for the suggestion and, of course, to the creator :D

I'll check it out, cheers!!

I have been monitoring for a couple of days now and want to find a way to lay it out and track it. Does anyone have tips on making a spreadsheet? I have seen a couple but they seem to use a different set of numbers when monitoring (Like 57, 63 ... not 5.5 or whatever). I ideally need something...

It takes more than having different taste to me to make me not like you. ;)

I found out yesterday that my 107g of petit pois contained 7 carbs! Wish I'd left them out as it pushed my carb intake to 30g for the day. Wasn't happy!

Hi there. I joined last Wednesday after recieving my diagnosis a couple of weeks ago. This forum and it's users have proved to be the most supportive, friendly, wonderful people who have such a wealth of advice and knowledge that you'll start picking things up pretty quick. I am still learning...

2 scrambled eggs mixed with a little water, 10g of Kale, 20g of SPinach and 5g of chheddar. Blitzed in a blender and microwaved for a couple of minutes. Green eggs ... no ham. ;)
