[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 2083341, member: 94045"] [USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER] has recommended a meter that many on here use. There are many others, but do be careful because the manufacturers make their money from the test strips, so choose carefully as they range from about £8 for 50 to about £30 for 50. Yes, they all tend to say low fat, BUT you cannot do low fat with low carb. You will starve yourself of energy. As you lower carbs so you must increase your good fats - like a sea-saw. One up, one down until you find a suitable balance. A good start is to ditch any low fat products and eat the real thing, such as butter, full fat yogurts, cream. No artificial chemical ridden pretend ones. A meter will help you discover which foods are suitable and which are not. Once you get one, and I urge you to buy one, we can help you use it to your best advantage. Meanwhile, have a look at dietdoctor.com for food ideas and some lovely recipes. These are the food lists [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/foods#foodlist[/URL] [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/foods#foodtoavoid[/URL] and the main website [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
