I have found (and ordered) a non whey shake today. Will stick with Alpro brand for yoghurt and milk as these appear to fit the bill and are not so bad taste-wise as it goes. Koko spread will be on the Tesco delivery along with Violife cheese. That's covered the basics and I will work from there...

Hi Carina, If you look up the product on Amazon, you can zoom into the pictures on the left hand side and these give the whole nutritional picture.....hope this helps Daryl

And I do love a curry Totto ;) Many thanks

Hi Sunny, They have advised me to do just that.....cut it all out for 4-5 days and to gently re-introduce items as it could be that I have overloaded my system with just too many dairy products whilst following LCHF. Methinks the protein shake has tipped me over the edge ?? Thanks for some great...

Hi Brunneria, I set the machine bleeping with milk, butter,yoghurt, cream and a sample of a protein (whey) shake I take daily. I even set the machine off with certain sweetners which I found incredible......Truvia in powdered form was ok, but the tablet form contain a milk derivative which set...

I love a few squares of dark choccy at night as a treat......Green and Blacks it will be :-) Not a huge soya fan, but getting used to the almond milk Thanks for the tip Daibell

Thanks juicy......have just enjoyed a cup of tea with almond milk and was pleasantly surprised :-) I was amazed during the testing yesterday that Truvia sweetner (switched to that back in Jan as its a healthier option) is fine in powdered form, but the capsules are bulked by a milk derivative...

Hi All, I have been following the LCHF diet with great results....lost nearly 2 stone and BG well controlled. Here's the HOWEVER........ Yesterday I went for allergy testing as my eyes have been streaming recently and after a good 2 hours testing various food types, animal hair, dust, grass...

I use the 'Better Than' range. Rice, pasta and noodles. Can be bought in bulk from amazon. Carb free and very low calorie. Pretty versatile, a little tasteless but is great as a base to homemade curries, chilli, stir frys and Bolognese. Really easy to use as it requires virtually no cooking...

Its official !!......after a bit of a meltdown in January, have succeeded in losing 2 stone (16st 6 to 14st 6) but cutting out the booze and following the LCHF diet. BG is pretty good now too :-) Thanks for all great tips/recipes and generally good advise. This forum is a massive help in the...

First time on the footy forum :-) A massive well done to the Mighty Palace in making it to the final and setting up a 1990 re-match of the epic final that finished 3-3 when a certain Mr. Ferguson was hanging on to his job and needing silverware to stave off the impending P45 !! The rest, as they...

Definitely. I had a very stressful period at work at the start of the year dealing with redundancies and loss of business and my levels rocketed to the high 20s. My GP put it down to stress and I was signed off work for 2 weeks and put on saxagliptin to supplement the metformin. Try and chill...

You can't whack a 'sat' :-)

Baking Powder works fine

I was told the same Ed......bit young for hip replacement. On the up-side, I have lost over a stone and a half in the last 3 months and am doing the LCHF diet with Omega 3 supplements and things are so much better. Clearly the fats and oils are lubricating the moving parts :-)

Went to the GP with hip/leg pain. After hearing my general lifestyle (sedentary work life, overweight, stuck in cars travelling long distances, eating junk on the road and downing numerous sugary drinks), she said I needed a fasting blood test. I queried why would I need a blood test for a bad...

Many thanks for the explanation Torq......makes perfect sense. My GP didn't come up with any such explanation and dismissed it. Proves once again that the forum is an invaluable resource !!

About 3 months ago, I had hugely high numbers up from 15-30 mmol. I was so hot I used to sit in the house in just shorts while the rest of the family were wrapped up......they thought I was freakish !!! I also wondered if this was symptomatic of diabetes, as now I have my sugars under control...

Thanks 13lizanne.....my next HbA1c is not due until May, but for once I am actually looking forward to it.!! I had a bit of an 'episode' about 3 months ago with my GP being very concerned as I was close to passing out. I had ticked all the boxes foe DKA with my bg hitting over 30 mmol. A real...

Fantastic :-) A really inspirational story as my meds and timeframe is virtually the same. Am doing the LCHF for last 3 months and the results are truly encouraging. With a story like yours to work towards, there is definitely light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks for sharing and well done
