    Celaric?

    I like it cooked like dauphinois potatoes. Just slice very thinly, put in a bowl, season with salt and pepper, slosh in some cream - single or double, mix so that slices are evenly covered, put in buttered ovenproof dish bake in oven about 180 degrees for about an hour. Can also top with grated...

    Healthy Pancakes?

    Almond flour is the same thing as ground almonds. Would have thought you could find them in Spain.

    Bohemian Polypharmacy

    Seen it all too often!! Not the video - the mountains of meds prescribed to many older people. Then when they're admitted to hospital most is stopped except the really essential they go home and it all starts again.

    Butter is Best

    I love butter - always hated low fat spreads, could never understand how processed by products of the petro chemical industry could be good for you! And tasted revolting. I know they've changed the recipes but I'll still stick with butter. Italian butter is my favourite - lovely stuff.

    Low carb, high fat?

    Personally I found it very easy to lose weight on LCHF - I've lost about 14kg, or over 2 stone, which is what I needed to lose. I think calling it "high fat" is a bit misleading - you don't have to actively seek out and eat lots of fat! Just change from low fat products to using good fats -...

    Statin News.

    No idea. Blood test next week. might tell me but I've only asked for Hba1c check. I'm a woman so at far less risk than you Shane and can't spend my life worrying unduly about it. I feel fit and healthy and have excellent BG control. On statins my life was utter misery. You said everyone against...

    Statin News.

    Shane I was on 40 mg simvastatin from,I thnk, about 1991. (There is a history of high cholesterol in my family so think it is probably genetic.) For a long time I didn't notice any side effects, and when I had stiff limbs in the morning and it was painful coming downstairs first thing I put it...

    Statin News.

    Well, I am someone who HAS tried them and found the side effects totally unacceptable, making my life an absolute misery. I was not warned of side effects, they were not picked up by medics, I found out by accident. I will never take them again. It amazes me that another identified side effect...

    LCHF which yoghurts are best

    Agree that Total Greek yoghurt is great, but NOT the fat free version - there are both full fat and 0% versions. You need to read the labels! I usually reckon that 100-125 gm serving is about right - and as others have said add some berries, or seeds or nuts - I rather like some walnut pieces...

    Thresholds to remain meds-free

    Hi there AndBreathe Sounds like you have already done really well in reducing your levels. Hba1c doesn't exactly to average on your meter,but the meter is a good guide. We are all different but many people do manage to control the condition without medication - and I'm one of them so I would...

    So low carb?

    Low Carb High Fat. If you are very low carbing you need some fat for fuel as it were - good fats such as butter ,cream, olive oil full fat greek yoghurt, avocados, - none of this low fat nonsense!! When low carbing you can't really eat that much fat anyway - no bread to put your butter on just...

    Aching Eyes - bi focal contacts or glasses?

    Hi Jannor! I've worn glasses since childhood - and suspect that I'm loads older than you are! But did find that problems I was having with my vision - tired eyes, getting very dry etc. improved tremendously after I was diagnosed, went low carbing and controlled my blood glucose levels. So I...
