I did LCHF when first diagnosed and with the help of the good folks on this forum i lost 5 stone and got my bloods back in the normal range which was brilliant, then i went on a family holiday and thought sod it i'll eat what everyone else is having just for the week. Surprise surprise 6 months...

I feel your frustration, i'm much the same as far as eating out goes. The thing that gets to me is if i was from India or China with diabetes what would they eat, i get around the problem by cooking my own indian/chinese food as the big problem is the food cooked for you is it's laden with...

This is the recipe my wife uses 150g Almond flour 45g Coconut flour 65g Bisquik mix 1/2 tsp Xantham gum 1/2 tsp Baking powder 1/4 tsp Salt 180g Butter (small cold cubes) Mix all ingredients together thoroughly EXCEPT butter. Place in food processor and add butter, pulse until it comes...

I make pastry from almonds but i replace a small amount with Bisquick which makes the pastry hold together better, it's more elastic if that makes sense but still keeps the carbs low and tastes great either sweet (add erythritol) or without for savoury quiches etc

Thanks for that, I won't be buying that brand again then, pity as in the Asian shop they're a reasonable price EDIT: Oops i've just realised i'm mixing up ground almonds with coconut flour Sorry all

I can't figure that one out either, it puzzled me when I noticed it. I've also bought East End brand in the past but can't remember the carb count but I think it was lower again. With the amount I consume it really does need to be an accurate carb count. Thanks for bringing it up though Ojustaboo

I tend to get my almond and coconut flour from the local Asian supermarket, plus it's usually a lot cheaper.

I've tried lo-dough and although it makes a reasonable pizza it is far too expensive for regular use. For quiche bases and pies savoury and sweet I now use coconut/almond pastry and replace some of the nut flours with a small amount of Bisquick to give some elasticity and that seems to do the...

You're buying it from the wrong place I pay £13.75 for 3lbs (1360g) https://www.avidlite.co.uk/cgi-bin/sh000024.pl?WD=carbquik&PN=Carbquik-Baking-Mix--1360g-box-ALB091.html#SID=24 I use it in a ground almond pastry recipe that I deduct some almond flour and replace it with Carbquick, it...

Well Thank goodness for that I knew I wasn't going senile (yet) I did make a previous post that said we didn't have a choice in joining the EU in the 70's, what I should have said was the EEC which had no referendum just Denmark, Ireland and Britains membership into the EEC by the then Prime...

My Bad :( I was not very old so probably thought I didn't get a vote back then, it was 44 yrs ago Hi Ho :)

Yes things will change as they did when we didn't even get a vote to go into the EU 40yrs ago and that for me and 17.4 million others seems like a lifetime ago but just think what might be not what has been it doesn't have to be a negative it will be what you make it. I'm obviously a leaver but...

I really didn't want to get into this on what is after all a diabetes forum. Immigration is a good thing but not when our infrastructure can't handle it, we need skilled people not economic migrants as now. With that unless insulted again I will not be answering again, Thank You. Post edited...

Guzzler I'm still proud to call you my Brother or Sister in the diabetic world no matter what our personal views are :)

Just as an aside, I 100% withdraw the phrase 'shame on you' as i am not trying to belittle anyone who has an opposed view to me. I just am resolved to the fact that a majority had a different opinion to you.

Sorry but why would i curtail those choices by being open to the rest of the world for trade? Yes we have traded for thousands of years so how does restricting myself to the EU only now help me with that? BTW i'm also Irish/English heritage.

Not in the EU that's for definite they don't grow tea or cacao beans and we used to produce British made cars and motorcycles of the finest quality and we are only a small country with a high population because of our poor border control. It's time we showed some back bone and stand up for...

There was an advertising push in the 70's called 'I'm backing Britain' it was designed to increase sales in the UK. If only the British would back themselves and refuse chlorinated chicken, steroid fed cattle and buy English,Irish,Welsh and Scottish products then we could be Great again. If...

I wonder how I survived before the EU (common market) my Mother must have been frantic trying to find something to feed us all (too many EU loving fear mongers now) IMHO

I use sweeteners and haven't had a problem with wanting actual sugars or extra carbs. For me Erythritol makes unpalatable foods acceptable, i hate the taste of any form of unsweetened yoghurt, tea or coffee. With sweetener i can enjoy the occasional carrot cake, baked cheesecake and lemon...
