    Foods that you thought would spike you surprisingly dont

    After a post last night when I told that strangely breaded youngs fish fillets don't spike me. Yet a fish finger will. I thought it would be fun to start a thread to ask what foods that you would expect a spike somehow doesn't..... Ie some people can get away with battered fish from the...

As I'm still in ketosis but don't want to lose any more..quite hard as I'm lighter than I want to be now..and if I raise my protein my bgs go up. Likewise obviously...

    Forgazia (gapagliflozin)

    I'm 7 weeks into lcfh. I'm loving how it makes me feel. But so much more important is watching my bg readings come down. Only 7 weeks ago I was measuring in the teens and stupidly blaming a course of steriods to help a relapse with my MS ( multiple sclerosis). Yes they didn't help but it was...

    Protein in a lchf diet how much?

    I read on here that lchf means limiting your protein to approz 1g per 1kg body weight. So a 6 oz steak is approx 48g. If someone weighed 80kg then needs no more than 80g a day. So I guess what I'm asking is this is easily done by say 2 eggs for breakfast. Say a very small amount of tuna or...

    Ketosis ketostix

    The sheer joy at the stix going quite dark pink has been offset by being told that this could be due to the fact I'm not drinking enough. 2 and a half litres of plain water a day though. Is the dark colour because I've only in the last few days gone into ketosis. Been lchf for a week and a...

    Risotto. Experiment

    After a tip from a low carber friend who swears she can tolerate arborio rice I've made a risotto mixed peppers and mushroom. I started off with butter and at the end of cooking time stirred a dollop of cream cheese and a godly handful of cheese...tested before eating at 5.8. And two hours later...
