    Reactive Hypoglycaemia

    That Carrot Cake recipe looks promising, thanks for that. Not sure I've seen all the ingredients over here in the UK, but I'll see what I can find and ask around.

    Newbie needs advice.

    Hi algarvedave, First thing that I want to ask is whether you use a Keto Calculator? If not then Google for it and input your details to find out how much fat protein and carbs you should be eating to be on a maintenance level. Maintenance diet consumption is typically around 70% fat, 20%...

    Reactive Hypoglycaemia

    Hi Everyone, (it's been a while) so I thought I'd check in and say hi. It's nice to see this thread still going. Last year I tried coming off LCHF to see how I got along with increased carbs. Almost immediately I struggled to control putting on weight and got fed-up of feeling hungry all the...

    Reactive Hypoglycaemia

    Just a quickie to say I'm back (having finished moving house). Still got a full plate of things to do so will only be popping in randomly over the next week or so. Had my Diabetic Clinic last week, nurse was pleasant but ignorant of RH. Didn't know much about low carbing, but was happy with...

    Reactive Hypoglycaemia

    Those "glucose burners".... :D Yeah the last thing you'd want if they admitted you into hospital unconscious is a glucose drip or what ever they do. I think I'd be more upset that they dropped me out of Ketosis than anything. What words do you put on a tag or band?

    Bread and Bread Recipes

    Well I don't know I made phoopsies a while ago and the mixture foamed up like one of those science project volcanoes and then promptly set into a glutinous goo that was hard to transfer from the mixing bowl into waffle moulds. I figured as it was going to be runny like everyone else's they'd...

    Reactive Hypoglycaemia

    Once you're on the right path then things will fall into place quicker than you expect, to be prepared for information overload. I can't speak for everyone but in my case (before I was on LCHF) it's my BG levels go high after eating carbs +2hrs, but it's what I feel like afterwards at +4hrs is...

    Making Two Weeks Frozen Dinners Ideas

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions, I like the broccoli cream cheese, I'll do that one too. I don't have a microwave, but I do have a pressure cooker, which is like a slow cooker on crack. I normally do my bones in it, and yes it's awesome for the cheaper cuts. I did Lamb breast in there...

    Making Two Weeks Frozen Dinners Ideas

    Ok I'm going to be with out a main cooker and microwave for two weeks. I'll have a fridge freezer and a little double hotplate. I'm trekking across the Arctic Circle... lol just kidding. But I thought the best way to tackle this is to make up evening meals and put them in the freezer. For...

    Autism: strong smelling fabric conditioner problem

    I found Surcare on Amazon and it says Fragrance Free on the bottle which it is. Just finished doing a wash end of last week with it and I'm thrilled to bits, there's no smell and my washing is all lovely and soft again.

    Back to Dr?

    I also Carb budget and max out on the flavour vs carb ratio. I find pesto being one of the awesome products that are low in carbs but deliver a big flavour hit. There's so many to choose from on the "stir thru" shelf. For example a 46g serving is typically under 1.5g carbs. Add that to a...

    Reactive Hypoglycaemia

    Good news @Wendolph Lol I can imagine you counting them one by one. I agree you can experiment, for example if I have extra low carb all day then at meal time I can splash out on a sauce or something nice like that.

    Autism: strong smelling fabric conditioner problem

    That's the one I used to use. The last bottle I bought I had to stop using because they've added more fragrance to it.

    Lamb stock ideas

    Hi all, I'm looking for good ideas to make use of home made lamb stock. Actually it's the product of what happens when I cook lamb breast in the pressure cooker. Fat renders out into the water and is concentrated as the water boils down. Left to cool and set the white fat and stock separate...

    Tiredness after three weeks of low carb diet

    @fredericmarcel more salt in your diet? It's worth a try. I just had a glass of salty water and an hour later I'm feeling a lot better. It wasn't pleasant but neither was feeling dizzy and tired. I checked my sodium intake over the past couple of days and it was a lot lower than usual, added...
