Changing the veg or increasing the veg portions is not an issue so long as you stick to the lower carb versions. I asked this question too as I like a simple salad with food. Salad is not an issue and the generalisation is above ground veg is the lower carb. Diet Doctor does have a section on the carbs in veg. I have to be wary of carrot. I can have some but not a lot.Hellooooo
I have just signed up for the 2 week challenge on DD and note that some of the meals do not have different sides along with the main meat? which is fine but wondered , those who have already done this challenge or similar ( adapted to own needs ) hpow you served yours?
Basically, for evening dinner we would normally have chicken with 2/3 sides...such as carrots/swede, cauli cheese etc

Since you're a fan of the cauliflower mash this recipe that @Ultramum found is seriously good. I did it for Sunday dinner. I also used it to bind fish cakes I made and my carb eaters didn't notice.Thank you all for tips much appreciated
I realise the veg can be carbi so will endeavour when needed to use the Low Carb versions
I particularly like cauliflower mash and cauliflower rice now which helps
Will follow the plan and hopefully it will have a huge impact on my blood sugar reductions and weight loss to give me that much-needed kickstart
Well, I'm a few days in to the low carb again and have already seen a significant drop in numbers but the main thing I'm noticing is my lack of appetite. Last night I ate dinner because I felt I should but in all honesty I could have skipped it easily ( that's my next plan). I'd had the DD Asian Cabbage stir fry for lunch at 13:00 and still felt full at 18:00. The only side effects so far have been a headache which I countered by drinking a lot of water with sugar free lime. It's all good.
Diet Doctor does tell you if you're not hungry don't eat. To be honest with Crackslaw for lunch I'm not surprised you were not hungry - it really fills you up and lasts ages. I was the same and when I eventually did get hungry I just had a salad of lettuce, tomato etc. Trouble is that then gets you out of sync on the 2 week challenge.Changing the veg or increasing the veg portions is not an issue so long as you stick to the lower carb versions.

Don't know how I replied to myself as this was meant for @seanj67..Diet Doctor does tell you if you're not hungry don't eat.

As @Chook says have a bouillon drink. I'm not keen on bovril so I use Marigold Swiss vegetable bouillon powder which most supermarkets have.
I'm having problems getting to sleep but I still think it is the tail end of that bug. I've been kicking about in the 6's anyway so I'm probably not a good lab ratMy BG isn't liking the warmer weather, my FBG is bit higher each morning. Last weekend it was in the mid 5s - Monday it was 5.9, yesterday was 6.3 and today it was 6.8. Luckily breakfast stops it going any higher. I've learned my lesson about eating evening snacks after dinner so the only thing that's different is the weather getting warmer making it difficult to sleep. Anyone else getting this problem?
umm they do look interesting, let us know what you think when eaten!Got a twin pack of noodles from Tesco yesterday. Called Oomi Noodles. They are made with fish protein. Not tried them yet so don't know what they are like. 2 packs eàch 115g so a fair portion. Nutritional is for 100g so net carbs probably around 5g per pack.

Will be trying this! Thanks
For the two weeks challenge I stuck to whatever DD said as it is the whole meal including sides that makes the meals ketogenic. Shortage of veg is one of the reasons I chose to change my diet a bit after the two weeks were finished - I still eat very low carb and occasionally use DD recipes but me and Mr C prefer more veg than DD allows.
Above ground veg are okay but root veg like carrots, swede, parsnips, etc are all quite carby.
