Thanks Medusa, I do eat a lot of eggs, maybe I should avoid them for a while? I tried the psyllium husk powder with lots of water but it didn't work. When I am eating a 'normal' high carb diet my bowels movements are daily. My fibre intake comes mainly from vegetables with a small amount of...

Hello All, I am back again after failing at LCHF the first time I tried it. My blood glucose levels are usually good but I desperately need to lost around 40lbs of excess weight. The first time I tried lchf my HbA1c came down to 42 within a couple of months (it had been 88 when I was...

Welcome John, I am 44 and newly diagnosed Type 2 myself but you will find lots of info and advice on here. I too have a problem with burning, painful feet which I haven't been able to solve though I have lowered my blood sugars a lot through following a low carbohydrate diet. Pre diagnosis I was...

Hello Roy, welcome to the forum. I am only diagnosed Type 2 for three months and am approx the same height and weight as you so I understand a bit how you are feeling. As others have said a test meter and strips are vital as it is the only way you can find out which foods raise your blood sugars...

Sooty, I too have problems with pains and aches in my feet and legs and my feet are always hot and the soles 'burn' all of the time, especially when I am in bed. I was only diagnosed with Type 2 in April but I had the diabetes for a few years at last and have had the foot and leg problems since...

Hello Sable, Of course you can. I will post it on the 'low carb recipes' thread. A very quick and simple recipe.

I ate a portion of cauli mash the size of a small mountain as I am a greedy guts[emoji15] the 'gravy' was just a beef stock cube dissolved in hot water and added to the liver and onions in the pan. As I shared the dish with my boyfriend I consumed less than half a beef stock cube so I didn't...

Daks, you are human. I posted a recipe for Almond and Yoghurt pancakes on the 'Post your recipes here' thread a few days ago and they are delicious and filling.

Breakfast: Greek yoghurt with sunflower seeds and hazelnuts. Tea with cream. 3 homemade Ginger Almond biscuits - only 1 carb each:) Lunch: unusually for me I didn't feel at all hungry so just ate some more yoghurt with a chopped kiwi fruit. Dinner: lamb's liver with onions and mushrooms in...

Hello Winnie, Thanks for posting. Thankfully I feel a lot better today. I have stopped grains but I do eat nuts and seeds. In fact I made a batch of Ginger Biscuits with ground hazelnuts and linseed this evening. I may use a supplement for a month or so though until I feel I am over the...

Hello Fi, I was surprised that I didn't feel hungry for about five hours after the pancake as I have eaten a three egg omelette for breakfast and felt hungry again three hours later. I will see if this happens again the next time I make the pancakes as I really need meals that stop the stomach...

Thanks AB, I will try that. Salty water is not my favourite tipple :)

Ellie's Almond Yoghurt Pancakes These are great for breakfast or brunch or anytime and can be sweet or savoury. The quantities I give here make one large, fairly thick pancake of about 8 or 9 inches in diameter. To be honest it was a bit too big for me (and I am a greedy guts) so I might use...

Hello Spiker, Thanks for the input. Do you think extra nuts and seeds and salad vegetables would be a good idea to replace some of the protein heavy animal produce? I already eat a lot of cooked vegetables.

Thanks again Pasha for your help, Part of the reason I am going too heavy on the meat is because it doesn't take any carbs from my daily carb allowance as I want to be able to have some treats like a little dark chocolate, some nut butter, berries etc. This morning I made pancakes from ground...
