[emoji4]Hi Totto, thank you. Nice to see you're still here. Not sure how active I will be...just wandering around at the moment.

[emoji4]Hi Squire, thanks for the welcome. To answer your comment about the Welsh troll...Such an idiot, wasn't he, but not the reason I stopped posting. I can cope with idiots [emoji6]

[emoji1]Thank you all.. Not sure how often I'll be in here but it's great to see friendly, familiar names still around. Apart from having septicaemia in September which knocked me for six, I'm doing fine. Still living the LCHF life and maintaining Hba1c of 45. with low insulin requirements...

Hi Zand! Thank you for remembering me, Lovely to see you [emoji1]. I'm a bit older, no wiser, but mostly fine thanks. Hope you're doing ok too. I'll be back later when Boxing Day has settled down [emoji1]xx

Yes. The enjoyment of eating is affected when we have a cold, because our sense of smell and taste is virtually non existent, so our brain tells our body it needs food........well it's one theory ;) but it makes sense to me. Don't beat yourself up, sure you'll get it sorted soon :)

:) This Grannie wears jeans too, from M&S, men's usually because they fit me better, lol. I don't know what's happened to standard sizes these days. A size 12, 14 etc used to be the same wherever you shopped, now it's a suck it and see thing....ummmm , you know what I mean! :meh:

According to Collins Gem Carb Counter plain pop corn contains 24.3g of carb per 50g....that's a lot if you're doing LC. Almost my daily total, lol

@mistyweather :) Sorry, have been busy today so just got here! Jane has already pointed you in the right direction....I know unrefined organic is a LOT more expensive, £6 per 293ml for Groovy Food Company which is stocked in Tesco but it's the real stuff. Refined coconut oil has been bleached...

Breakfast: Spicy one minute muffin (1 min 30 sec in my microwave) plus a pot of tea, lol Lunch: just a snack. A small slice of goat cheese and half a dozen walnut halves, plus a creamy decaf coffee Dinner: Beef casserole, with mushrooms and shallots, cooked in red wine, served with green...

@Robbity "I also made a yummy apple and blackberry crumble with ground almond flour, but mistimed and slightly burnt the crumble topping - I'm still getting used to trying to cook with all these flour alternatives.:(:(I ended up with some ground almond shortbread as an alternative." I like the...

:hilarious: "Every little helps" :cool:

http://authoritynutrition.com/top-10-evidence-based-health-benefits-of-coconut-oil/ Think I've posted this link elsewhere, but I'm such a huge believer in the benefits of coconut oil that I'll risk being a bore and repost it ;)....even my local Tesco now carry a good stock of Virgin coconut oil!

@Andrew Colvin :) Learning to suck eggs was a pre requisite for this Grannie ;)

@Pollylocks You're not alone in your confusion and disillusionment, many here feel the same. I was diagnosed T2 twenty three years ago. Got dealt all the usual **** about eating plenty of carbs at every meal etc. Low GI, high fibre, blah blah. Consequently, as a result of poor control I have...

"Unfortunately we are all different and you may find these are a terrible option for you" @Andrew Colvin Most definitely! All cereals spike my BG way too much, even with lactofree milk.

:) :) @Indy51 and @Mazzer :rolleyes: ;) @busspassman. Hello, I see from your profile you're T2 on diet only. Maybe cornflakes are not a good idea. They contain a lot of carbohydrate which in any form will cause your blood glucose level to spike. For a start, how about swapping to the old...
