    The simple things that make us happy.

    Finding out that my new GP enables all my test results on Patient Access. What a happy bunny I am today, let's see what happens at my review with the nurse this afternoon, I have a habit of inadvertently upsetting them...

    Ascites and acute abdominal pain.

    I'm currently on day 4 as an emergency admission to hospital with the above. Contrast dye CT shows inflammation of the ilium, no blockage, nothing of note. All bloods normal. Waiting for stool sample analysis. Now the acute pain is something I’ve never experienced before or witnessed in all my...

    Long term success - you CAN do it.

    HbA1c just in...27 That’s 11 years of keto and carnivore since April. Trigs are up (for me) to1.0 but that will be the transition in my diet and still ‘normal’. Doctor thinks I’m cured so I said let’s tell the Lancet and she laughed. Happy Lib.

    Keto/LCHF and gout.

    I've been having a mooch around on the subject and found some opinions on the subject but no reliable info. Does anyone have some links to anything that supports keto eating as a way of controlling gout?

    Well that’s hard cheese!

    I was having a wander online and stumbled across this... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B077B58HJF/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B077B58HJF&pd_rd_w=YHrQp&pf_rd_p=e2bfafb5-111e-4906-b089-5d691a51d45f&pd_rd_wg=rPCrF&pf_rd_r=TXQKX0E24CH174WFBMT9&pd_rd_r=420d4a40-6f1e-11e9-956e-c35dfaf10359 It’s...

    Total cholesterol at 1.2

    Is that even remotely possible?!!! I’ve asked my non low carb friend to get the actual numbers as I’m pretty sure that’s a mistake.

    Is four the floor?

    I treated myself to a new meter as I’ve not tested for a long time but along with my recent carni and OMAD change, I thought I’d be curious and find out what my control is like. I’m very happy to see that at almost 11 years post diagnosis and a low carb diet, I’m still chucking out 3’s and 4’s...

    Just a couple of squares...

    As it says in my bio thing, diabetes set me free and I utterly mean that. My addiction to food especially carbs, was what took me to ill health and 21 stones. Cravings are so much easier to cope with (yep, I still get them) and I will NEVER go back to my former life but the food issues that...

    Carnivores, what’s your intake?

    Calling all exclusive (or as near as dammit) carnivores. Some questions if you’d like to help. Do you include offal? Do you track amounts of protein/fat? Do you measure your intake? Have you found it costly? Was it a conscious decision or have you just fallen into it? What sort of thing do...

    Coming out of ketosis - temporarily.

    Hi all, long time no see. I’m coming up to my eleventh year as someone with T2 controlled with low-carbs, about 20g a day, and recently decided for the first time ever to ‘track my macros’ because I needed to reboot my body and control. I think I’m finally menopausal and at 58, it’s about time...

    Too Much Cream?

    Here I am, sipping on my morning coffee and I actually said out loud “blast, too much cream”. Is there any hope for me? Will the local dairy farmers now go out of business? AM I CURED?!

    Where did that come from!

    Ten years this coming June, I stopped eating carbs and virtually overnight the heartburn and reflux I suffered at night, stopped. I enjoyed some lovely pork belly earlier and I think it was just a bit more fat that my body wanted because, hello, the heartburn is back! **** and blast, I hope...

    It used to be toast...

    ...lots of toast that made my grilled bacon and fat free, microwaved scrambled eggs palatable, now it’s butter, lashings of grass fed, salted, President butter that my fried bacon and double cream added, butter fried eggs that rocks my world. Was butter in the 70’s grain or grass fed?

    Hot, salty bone broth. Fasting again.

    I blo*dy love the stuff. I did a six day fast earlier this year (easy peasy) and I’m currently cuddling a hot mug on day one of this fast. I’m bone shopping later to make another big pot and I have my own favourite recipe but I’d love to hear yours. Lib.
