[QUOTE="Ricky, post: 2115053, member: 27137"] I've been doing low carb for 17 years and unlike those people whose diabetic go away because they were overweight and have now lost the weight with me the diabetes is inherited so no chance!! All my family have Type and no one has ever been overweight. My father was skinny as is my sister. I do not eat , bread, pastry, rice, pasta, potatoes sugar, cereals (except my homemade muesli with oats, seed, and nuts) . I do eat eggs, cheese, meat, fish , nuts, seeds, veg, salad, and fruit (but only within a meal never on its own) He needs to be on full fat food- no low fat products. The fat will feel him up e.g Double cream. Fry his food with coconut or olive oil. If he has to have bread Waitrose have LivLife bread which low carb high protein. A spoon of peanut/almond butter will fill him up on celery sticks. Instead of beer tell him to get a taste for a glass or two red wine as that will actually lower his blood sugar . A quick meal is a load of spinach in a microwavable quiche dish, mixed with sliced mushrooms, onions, tomatoes if you want. Pop 2 eggs (prick the yolks) on the top, sprinkle with grated cheese and put into the microwave for 3 mins. Another is to stir fry loads of spinach, grated courgette etc. pour on 2 whisked eggs mixed with grated cheese , season well to taste and you have a filling omelette. Crustless quiches can be made. Roast dinner without potatoes . Sweet potato/ mashed cauliflower instead is acceptable. Just vary his usual meals that he likes without the carbs and substitute allowed veg. (no parsnips, swede , carrots as they are high carb when cooked) As someone have said -loads of recipes online. Check out Keto recipes. All the best. [/QUOTE]
