Thank youHi @Reemap , I only eat cauliflower occasionally, mostly in cauliflower cheese, never as rice, but it has no effect on me. Not heard about kidney stones so can't comment on that.

If you just lower your carbs then you are likely to feel hungry, solve this by eating some foods with fat which don't raise your blood sugar. Some people approach this in the opposite direction by purposely eating a lot of fat so that the don't feel the need for carbohydrates.Hello didn’t want to start a new thread but do people who follow low carb also do high fat?
Which food can be eaten for high fatIf you just lower your carbs then you are likely to feel hungry, solve this by eating some foods with fat which don't raise your blood sugar.

Look at the lists at the start of the thread as that's what they're intended for - they include suggestions for all types of LCHF foods; but for example: fattier cuts of meat, chicken with skin on, oily fish, full fat dairy - cream, cheese, yoghurt, & butter, olives, avocados, olive, avocado & coconut oils, nuts and unsweetened nut butters...Which food can be eaten for high fat
Thankyou so much for this list. I have been struggling.I have seen a few members asking for low carb food lists for shopping etc. I was sent this list when I first came to this forum by a very helpful member and it was a god send to me amidst all the confusion. I just thought maybe others might find it useful/helpful in some way. I should have thought to share it before now but hope it proves useful to anyone needing a bit of guidance

Have just got my Hba1c reading of 108. Am trying desperately to get a handle on this. How can I save this?Thankyou so much for this list. I have been struggling.
Your still Diabetic yet you in remission.If stick to your current weight loss and diet you will not have to go back to taking meds.So congrats and well done or taking full responsibility for your health.Many don’t !Brilliant thanks
Thank you for this list it is a great help. Unfortunately I don't eat poultry of any kind nor fish (fish fingers!). I am not overly keen on vegetables about a couple of tablespoons at a time. I have under active thyroid and on meds for that, I am limited in my exercise due to an ankle injury. I have been trying to lose weight but nothing is happening. My diet is porridge with flax seed and blueberries with a cup of tea. Snack mid morning apple, tea, and maybe a couple of crackers with butter. Lunch soup and 2 slices of Lidl Low GI seeded bread, sometimes with a couple of slices of hard cheese followed with a yogurt lowest sugar I can find. Afternoon is tea, banana not too ripe and if very hungry rich tea x2. Dinner could be steak sausages with baked beans and a couple of potatoes boiled in their jackets followed by tea and a small slice of cake I find this is the hardest part of the day. Then I stay out of kitchen rest of evening after clearing dishes etc. My other half makes a cup of tea and it's either rich tea x 2 or a slice of Brennan's brown bread which is 60 Cal's and low carb spread with peanut butter thinly. Any advice advice on what to change would be great.
Stick with it,because it does workYou're never going to lose weight like that I've been on a lowe carb diet about six weeks now I've lost one stone I don't eat any bread or cake or chips I do have a beer at weekends I hope to reach twelve stone before Christmas I'm 14 stone now
