    LOW CARB SUCCESS STORIES

    I definitely wobbled my numbers with breaded stuff - chicken, quorn fillets and what have you. I really love them (Love carbs) and while I'm sure the occasional one doesn't make much difference, once I start it quietly escalates!

    LOW CARB SUCCESS STORIES

    I don't post very often, but I do come by for encouragement, so thought I'd offer some too. I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes in 2014 with an HbA1c of 47. Been lc/hf since then, and have had my ups and downs. Lost about 4 stone, put quite a bit back on, had periods when life was very hard and I...

    Brown Sauce!

    Hi everyone, I've not posted for a long time. BG still pretty good, six or seven years after diagnosis. I've fallen off the wagon a couple of times and put on some of the weight I lost initially, but mostly doing OK and have come to visit when I needed comfort or encouragement and got it from...

    Struggling With Life, Low Carb And Health...

    I'm so sorry you're struggling so much. The winter before last I was very ill, and like you, had no energy to cook and was barely managing (I lived on Co-op cauliflower cheese for quite a while). Then a friend realised what was going on and asked for three low carb recipes from me - I gave her...

    Won't Be Doing That Again!!

    Once a year, I think it is - I'm pretty disciplined. Actually, once a decade - this was an 0 number birthday, so special!

    Won't Be Doing That Again!!

    I did have it on my birthday, and probably will again - it's just watching that my birthday doesn't begin to last all month!!

    Won't Be Doing That Again!!

    To be honest, pre diabetes has given me the resolve and discipline to eliminate sugar and eat much more healthily - if I'd found I could tolerate cake it would have been a pretty slippery slope to family packs of cheesy puffs via Cornish Pasties and bread for three meals a day, so it's just as...

    Won't Be Doing That Again!!

    It was my birthday recently and someone who doesn't know me well baked me a cake. I had a piece on the day and froze the rest to give to friends and neighbours. Yesterday I took some out of the freezer to make room for actual food and of course it called my name. This is how I got myself into...

    I can get away with one chapatti without my BG going wonky x

    Encouragement, Please!

    I find stress, being ill (with a virus) and steroids all put my HbA1c up. I had a reading of 42 after a bad winter, but the next one was 38 after I'd rebalanced. I find it's not just what I eat, but whether I am OK emotionally, and sleeping enough etc that affect my levels x

    Dammit, Lo-Dough!

    I use roughly the same recipe as 90 second bread, but add cocoa powder and sweetener, to make a cake - and then I eat it with cream!

    Dammit, Lo-Dough!

    Cauliflower Rice, Wilber123 - some people make it from scratch, but I'm a fantastically lazy cook so I buy it frozen from Iceland. You can microwave it as is and just use as you would rice, or lightly fry it in olive oil or butter with other stuff (I like it with turmeric and mushrooms), and it...

    Many thanks everyone, lots of food for thought (see what I did there?!).

    Economising

    I could do with reducing my food bill. Please inspire me! What are your favourite bargain items, or cost cutting tips please?

    Dammit, Lo-Dough!

    Mmmmm - my favourite is a lot of butter, then marmite, then peanut butter :)

    Dammit, Lo-Dough!

    I love 90 second bread, and I do make it, but I don't find it good for sandwiches. At the moment I'm enjoying being able to load a slice with butter and goodies, fold it in half and eat it. The novelty will run it's course, I'm sure!

    Dammit, Lo-Dough!

    It's so unlike bread that it hasn't, so far, triggered any cravings in me - except for what I can put inside it!
