Message: <blockquote data-quote="JTL" data-source="post: 1261505" data-attributes="member: 49289">It's very confusing at first and seems impossible!I like spuds rice and pasta but they spike me. Discovered though that if I cook these things then leave them in the fridge for twenty four hours and recook them it's a different story. It changes the carb value but I can't remember the name of it just now. Worth a try though. I'm enjoying fried mashed potatoes a couple of times a week with eggs veg bacon cheese fish whatever takes my fancy. I recook rice and pasta too and it doesn't spike me. Through all the confusion and outright bad advice from the NHS I reluctantly decided to listen to what I suspected were lunatics on this site and go for the high far low carb lifestyle. I lost weight felt better got my bad cholesterol down good cholesterol up blood pressure down and glucose levels much more manageable. I'm now at the point where I've as good as reversed my diabetes. Not cured it. If I stray to far from the low carb high fat I get bad readings and feel pretty grim. But I can now tolerate more carbs. Been reintroducing them bit by bit. The high fat I have is mostly dairy and vegetable. Full fat products only in yoghurt's etc. No semi skimmed no fat low fart stuff. Plain full yoghurt which I flavour myself. I manage to have a table spoonful of virgin coconut oil a day at least. Has to have virgin on the label. Pure coconut oil isn't healthy unless it has virgin on it. I don't eat much bread but when I do I put it on butter. You heard that right. Full cream as often as possible. Full cream milk in cuppas. Sometimes I have for breakfast what is called a bullet proof coffee and nothing else. The mental energy boost almost puts it in the illegal drug bracket and if that's my breakfast I'm buzzing for at least six hours without any thought or desire of food. I'm a tea junkie so don't drink much coffee but when I do it's good old fashioned Nescaffe original instant. A spoon full of butter dropped in and a spoon full of coconut oil and then reheated in the microwave cos the butter drops the temp to much for me. Whizzed to make it frothy.Sounds crazy .... I know but the proofs in the pudding. I didn't say pudding really no I didn't say pudding.Here's where I was directed to from the resident lunatics on here who may well have saved my life. <a href="https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb" target="_blank">https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb</a></blockquote>
