    What Does Your Cat Eat?

    I have a Burmese who is over 16 now and she is a picky eater. One day she will eat certain wet food the next day refuses it. There is always dry food as well but rarely bothers with that. She does have teeth problems but vets do not want to do anything as they think she is at high risk...

    Do I have to stop drinking soda drinks completely?

    Try magnesium tablets for your cramp. As long as I keep taking the tablets I have no problem anymore with cramp. Get mine from Holland & Barrett.

    Pyssilium

    Where does anyone buy ground pyssilium and what do you pay? Seems expensive. Would just like to keep some in the store cupboard as an emergency in case I decide I need some bread substitute. I am doing very well so far without bread which has been a major food to drop for me. I am managing...

    Newly diagnosed - overwhelmed!

    Wishing you all the best to getting your head around this. Your heart attack was perhaps in a way a good thing as the diabetes has been brought to light. I am pretty much following the advice JoKalsbeek has given you but using a meter I have found that I seem to be able to tolerate porridge...

    PORRIDGE made with water or low fat milk?

    I seem to be managing okay with porridge made with almond milk and a couple of chopped berries. It hasn't appeared to spike as I have been checking the before and after readings. Might be a cheaper option to make with water and serve with cream though.

    Food tracking apps?

    Do any of you use a food tracking app? I have been listing the carb content of foods into a notebook and wonder is there any programme where I can easily track my daily intake. I am finally really serious about going lchf. Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Newcastle Diet to reverse type 2 diabetes

    Maggie Magpie, What meal replacements are you using? Just shakes or are you having bars? I am thinking of doing this but just for a week or two and then going lchf. I think if i do this first the lchf will be easier for me to go back to as I am having real trouble ditching carb laden foods...

    Poor impulse control regardless of terrifying consequences

    I managed to lose weight on lchf but then went back to carb laden food and have now put the weight back on. At the moment I am having so much trouble cutting the carbs and getting back to healthier foods but what you say makes total sense.

    Been Burying My Head In The Sand

    Thank you for your reply. I have to stick with 3 meals a day maximum because of work. From what I am reading I guess if I can eventually cut out breakfast that would greatly reduce my eating window and perhaps help. Great weight loss by the way! I wish I could do it too...

    Thank you for your replies. I am not on insulin was prescribed metformin but had very bad side effects with it so stopped that and am now taking just dapagliflozine. I would really like to try with diet alone but realize this is going to be a bit of a battle but I think I need to aim to go...
