Oh no. I thought pistachios were ok?
Not as many as I ate last night but was starving (first mistake not cooking)
pistachios are high carb - over 25 percent I think - way over my limit - try some lower carb options such as walnuts or almonds.
Not all coffees are created equal - I tried Costa coffee a couple of years ago and it was vile, I have also tried Starbucks and they were reusing about half the grounds - I used to work for Allied Lyons and my taste buds are quite sensitive. Coffee flavouring is quite harsh - very different from a proper cup of coffee with cream.
No! I said if you don't want to add it to food!Sorry I think I read it wrong! I thought you said do not add to food and wondered if there was something I should know.
Thanks @HSSS for looking this up or me. Very interesting and a good step.
No I just don’t tend to add it.
I don’t know if I’m just very sensitive to it but I find I’m am dying of thirst for hours after. I sometimes put a little bit of I cook but usually forget. In the last couple weeks I’ve reduced the amount of red meat and bacon and used turkey rashers (unsalted) so it’s possible it’s just too little
No! I said if you don't want to add it to food!
I don't add loads of salt, just about half a teaspoon full a day, I take a tablet for high blood pressure so I don't want to upset that. this amount I don't taste and it does not effect my thirst either.
Is there a reason you have reduced red meat and bacon? These things are good for our diet.
Eugh no.
Hate salty anything.
Aren’t pistachios salty? I ate loads last night
Can I drop this on you...My cholesterol was slightly high so just trying to reduce the amount of bad fats.
I was a bit disappointed to find M&S chicken has brown sugar added to it!! So unnecessary. Tesco one doesn’t. M&S crispy bacon is the best though.For those on the road a lot can I just say I continue to be impressed by M&S deli selection 3 for £7 which includes 3 varieties of ham and cheese rollitos, crispy bacon slices, packs of vsrious flavoured cold chicken, etc. (All low/no carb) Tbere are many M&S Simply Food outlets at BP garages and elsewhere.
That 10.1% / 87 mmol/mol was the OP's hba1c result, not mine...Amateur! I haveMy record is 131, a hideous 14.1%
@Cana Google low carb muffins, keto biscuits etc. Some can be frozen or just keep in the fridge.
Weigh out 30g of nuts and put in small bag. Read the label on the back for carb content.
If you Google keto snacks or fat bombs, you may find things that appeal.
If you have a good wide thermos, think about soups, stews ect, especially for winter.
There are all sorts, sweet and savoury.Am I looking at the wrong thing?
The Cadbury's cocoa is 14 percent carbs.I’m looking at fat bombs and it says they are free of refined sugar but the cocoa powder says it’s loaded with sugar.
Am I looking at the wrong thing?
