Ha ha ha..I think that I must have annoyed him as he probably thought "Get rid of her,she is ruining my book" lolI asked if it has the carb breakdown and PV liked my comment.. according to the other place's website it should have nutritional info. They seem to sell loads of c**p there though...
He is married to Fern Britain and sometimes appears on "This Morning show" with |Holly and Phil..I have not watched it in years but did see him on there when |I flicked over the channel. He used to cook Fern a special diet to help her keep her weight off, so I thought maybe he would have been more knowledgeable regarding Diabetes. He is so knowledgeable about food, obviously not what Diabetics should eating.@walnut_face I thought he was a rugby player too.
So had to start by downloading Twitter onto my iPad and resetting my password, but question duly posed - and other’s questions liked!
Well I am wondering if he is finding his book hard to sell..Started off at £14.00 (Expensive) now has lowered the price to £7.00 in some places. I think many Diabetics are starting to realise that LCHF is the way to go and will not be buying his book.
Do you think we should chip in and buy 1 copy so we can see what it's like and what info it has in it?
Then we can have a go on twitter if it's ****... (looking at who supports it I'm guessing that is quite likely).
I just found that there’s three of four recipes from the book on his website. I can’t see if the nutritional info is per portion or the whole recipe. The poached pears if it’s 19g carb per portion that’s too high for me for a dessert!
Amazon doesn’t have a preview for it! I wonder why?!

Ha ha ha..The book seem's to be different prices..Do you think that Phil Vickery is edging his bets? lol
I have to disagree to some extent. Yes, T2s have to follow a fairly strict low-carb diet whereas T1 can adjust the insulin to match but even T1s need to control the carbs to avoid weight gain as I do. I see no difference between the recipe needs for T1, T2 or pre-diabetes as we are all glucose intolerant and it's glucose that can cause weight gain.Recipes suitable for type 1,type 2 and prediabetes are likely to be quite different. Now if hed titled his book recipes for type 2 diabetics then Id totally agree with you
Pesoally I cant abide twitter so never use it -having said that, blocking someone because they disgree with you just seems plain rude tho’ and makes Phil Vickerylook like a bit of a d***head
There is a picture of Fern in today's papers showing she has gained some weight since the surgery. Is there a connection between this and Phil's recipes?He is married to Fern Britain and sometimes appears on "This Morning show" with |Holly and Phil..I have not watched it in years but did see him on there when |I flicked over the channel.

Oh really? did not see that. She did have surgery for her weight loss but said that Phil Vickery was helping her maintain her weight. She stayed slim for quite a while. Hope she is not following his recipes in his new book lolThere is a picture of Fern in today's papers showing she has gained some weight since the surgery.

They are but there are some good Keto ones out there. They are quite strict but some of the recipes are good..But I do not like baking with ground Almonds and their pretend breads etcI have yet to come across a popular recipe book for diabetics that understands the need for low-carbs; they are mostly rubbish.
Oh if he has poached pears, think we should deffo keep away from that book lol..Bet your bottom dollar most recipes for us will be a no noI just found that there’s three of four recipes from the book on his website.

Have you tried fibreflour, "we" are having good results with this (apart from anything that needs to rise).They are but there are some good Keto ones out there. They are quite strict but some of the recipes are good..But I do not like baking with ground Almonds and their pretend breads etc
No I have never tried Fibre Flour. Is it easy to come by and do you add yeast?Have you tried fibreflour, "we" are having good results with this (apart from anything that needs to rise).
I have been playing with linseed also, the results so far are just edible, so I am going to cut with other ingredients.
