thanks for the tip - my nearest waitrose is quite far away, but i do make a trip there every now and then to stock up on pickled gherkins made without sugar - they're the only supermarket i know (other than the polish ones - again, none nearby) that have them. so on my next gherkin run i'll look...

HI, i am also a disgruntled ex-lidl's roll eater. i looked on the forum and saw a couple of alternatives suggested, one available at waitrose and one apparently at sainsbury's called something like hi-lo (can't remember exactly, and can no longer find the relevant post). as my local...

That's great, glad things have returned to normal. I've noticed that veery few months my readings all go up a bit for a week to ten days for no apparent reason, though possibly due to the odd slight lurgy (never bad enough that I actually feel unwell) - but then I guess our bodies are not...

hi, you have my sympathy, i think the snacking crave is one of the hardest things to overcome. when i was first advised to go lchf, i was told that it's better to try not to eat at all for at least 5 hours after eating, as it gives your body time to reset. so i tend to drink gallons of water...

oh that's useful to know, thank you.

it may be, but you only use a little - i think it's to give it more fibre, but you can also leave it out i think, and still get good results. i just don't have the patience to pore over exact amounts of grams of carbs in each thing,so i eat to my meter - if something i eat doesn't really...

maybe it would have been better to wait another half hour or so before testing? i know there are different schools of thought on this, but personally i always wait for just over 2 hours after finishing eating to test. and yes, i occasionally get weird readings, but i've decided that i'm not...

oh, and i found a great keto bread recipe using almond flour and coconut flour - i can make it in a few minutes in the microwave, which is real bonus - but obviously much richer than ordinary bread, so not something i can eat too much of or too often. there seem to be quite a few different...

hi, haven't been on the forum for a while, life got in the way ..... :) i too have been missing the lidl rolls, so good to know that there are some alternatives to try out there. i tried warboys protein bread and my bg levels afterwards were acceptable, though not as good as with the lidl...

hi, welcome to the forum, fabulous results! you say a couple of things that i think are key - one is that you're focused and committed (makes all the difference, but not always that easy to maintain). also that you often only have two meals a day - i personally have found that i've got used to...

i also do full fat greek yoghurt + fruit (berries, pear and/or apple) + nuts, once or twice a day - and sometimes i just eat it on its own. i used to hate plain yoghurt, but i've found as i've cut out sugar and carbs, that my tastes have changed so much that i really enjoy it even on its own now.

can you clone her and send her round the country? not that i can complain, we've now got a very good specialist nurse at my local health centre who isn't anti-lchf.

fantastic, i know what a relief it is when they tell you things are ok - well done! :)

brilliant news, thanks for sharing it with us - great to hear that there's hope for all of us!

Hi, welcome back to the forum, very sorry about your mother, and also that life feels so hard right now. i have to agree with Resurgam, my levels would be way up if i ate the high carb food that you eat fairly often, if i understand you correctly, i.e. oats, oatcakes, potatoes, baked beans. and...

yaay, only 2 more years and i can go back to cake and ice cream !!!! ..... not .... :)

Way up this morning for me, about 6.5 - (three readings, 7, 5.8 and 6.5, so going with the middle one). i'm usually below 5.5 - yesterday i ate 2 boiled eggs, lettuce, tomato a few green peas, half an avocado and some cucumber for breakfast, and half an avocado, steamed fish, mushrooms...

HI, welcome to the forum, you're at the right place.Lots of really knowledgeable people here who are always happy to answer questions. :)

HI, and welcome to the forum. It does take a while and some experimenting to get your head around what works for you, as we're all different. but cutting out starchy carbs seems to be good for most of us here on the forum. one piece of advice i was given was to leave at least 5 hours between...

HI Randi B, i was diagnosed with t2 4 years ago, but was told that i must have had it for at least 5 years before that. my feet got progressively colder, and last year they were really painful during the winter - i've only lost about a stone in total (i've never been seriously overweight), but i...
