    Metformin - should I or shouldn't I?

    Wow.. you've done so well! And.. without meds! That's brilliant, I can totally understand the level of determination you've got going on ☺ I must admit, that to begin with, after my diagnosis on Christmas eve 2015.. that I didn't want meds. However, after reading up and finding the long term...

    Thanks @Hiitsme ☺ must admit at being amazed at how well the lchf works, and at myself for managing to achieve this in such a short time!

    Low carb flax bread.

    I used a 20x10.5cm silicone loaf mold. As I have got further into the loaf, I can see it's not completely cooked in the middle, so I reckon another 5-10 mins, checking at 5 min intervals, should do it. I cooked this one in my fan oven at 170 degrees for 30 mins. :)

Looking forward to having some with breakfast in the morning :) It didn't rise a lot, I omitted the herbs, added a little extra water.. too hot to have a slice just now, to see the texture, but it smells...

    Soups and stews please

    Cool... as they say ;) we find it so much better than standing and storing, then having to blend for a smooth soup! Bang your ingredients in and 22-25 mins later you can enjoy
