what, you dont like my cooking?i watch this too, although am not a good , or enthusiastic cook.
@Robinredbreast got my pots of salad planted today, no more bags for me.
Good for youI planted my tomatoes seeds a couple of weeks ago
I agree with your point that if a program is about another issue, or no issue specifically, then low carb wouldn’t be mentioned in my expectation. I do however get frustrated when every other way of eating from vegan to gluten free to low fat to lactose free to halal or kosher etc etc gets a section or is searchable online on supermarket websites but low carb or even low sugar isn’t.Every time there is a food programme on TV some people here always find something to criticise in it. The most common complaint is it does not mention low carb. Just because a small percentage of diabetics most of who are on this group find it helpful some seem to think it should be the diet for everyone Most of the food programmes are demonised as being to high in carbs but they are not about low carb and why should they be. I do not think anyone would choose to eat the low carb way when they have no need to .How many here would go low carb if they did not have diabetes I know I wouldn't
I just feel that all diabetics should be given the chance to make their own choice, just like you did, rather than effectively have the information deliberately withheld and continue high carb out of ignorance rather than choice
Yes I do choose to do lower carb probably about 80g a day so not as low as some here but as many as some others have.You heard about it and perhaps chose that it wasn’t for you. Entirely your prerogative. I just feel that all diabetics should be given the chance to make their own choice, just like you did,
So not so different are we and quite a few people do eat the low carb bread not me thoughAgree with all those apart from the "low carb bread". So see we do agree that a ketogenic way of eating is best for all. Just need to put "green" in front of the "vegetables".
Sorry my mistake. It is indeed noticeably lower than a “typical” persons. My assumption was based on seeing your posts that appear to me to be mildly against low carb eating or promotion of such.e.

I agree with this. One of the big points the program raised was that there is a larger market out there in gluten free products than those who require gluten free products. In other words many people are buying gluten free products that are not coeliacs. That’s okay but there should surely ideally be a bit more in the way of low carb alternatives on the shelves.I agree with your point that if a program is about another issue, or no issue specifically, then low carb wouldn’t be mentioned in my expectation.

The reason there’s only a small percentage of diabetics doing low carb is because no one is telling them about it and the hard to dispute benefits. You heard about it and perhaps chose that it wasn’t for you. Entirely your prerogative. I just feel that all diabetics should be given the chance to make their own choice, just like you did, rather than effectively have the information deliberately withheld and continue high carb out of ignorance rather than choice. Some of us advocate in this respect. Others choose not to.
There are.. its called real food that great grandma would have recognised.That’s okay but there should surely ideally be a bit more in the way of low carb alternatives on the shelves.
Agreed, but for example a low carb cake from a bakers or a tasty low carb ice cream might not go amiss. I just made some great low carb ice cream but it wasn’t exactly convenient. I was fortunate enough to double it up as a fun session with the kid but on a busy day I would not have the time.There are.. its called real food that great grandma would have recognised.
Meat, fish, eggs, butter, cheese, green veg... stuff that doesn't come in a package and not from a factory.
I pray that we never see "Low Carb" versions of the rubbish that makes people ill because it will be full of as much rubbish as the "gluten free" products are. We need to get back to eating freshly prepared food from single ingredients .. be careful what you wish for.
Would have similar rubbish to a regular cake .. just don't eat the cake period.a low carb cake from a bakers

I tried that other stuff the other night. The Raspberry Nipple companies product. It wasn’t so good. The low carb chocolate ice cream I made was good, rather like a Ben and Jerries, or something M and S do.Have you not discovered Oppo ice cream?

Tha Raspberry one isn’t the best. Give the other flavours a try. The chocolate hazelnut is my favouriteI tried that other stuff the other night. The Raspberry Nipple companies product.

I tell a lie really, I will make the home made chocolate ice cream again, as it was so good.
@ jim lahey as i wandered round asda this morn, loads of stuff have protien on the labels....several in the cererals isle which we no longer partake....similar labling glutento free and the old favourite " low fat " the old advertising guys have seen an opportunity.........I understand that it’s not practical or affordable for all, but I just choose real whole foods. This way I get to pick and choose which ingredients are going into my meals, without relying on someone else to do it for me. Apologies if that sounds evangelical or prescriptive, but whether or not it suits everyone, it’s really the only way to be sure for those who are particular about their food. Personally I wouldn’t even choose anything prepackaged that purported to be low-carb, in the same way I wouldn’t ever buy anything labelled as gluten-free.
But in any case I think we will begin seeing a rise in products labelled as keto or low-carb friendly on supermarket shelves. No potential market will remain untapped by business.
The first part of the program involved Sian Williams highlighting the sugar content in these “on the hoof” breakfast cereals. What was interesting was that whilst she used sugar cubes to illustrate her point she didn’t convert carbohydrates into sugar equivalents and was only going on added sugar.
One or two of the Dieticians comments were controversial.
Yes. I thought this was a major omission from the low carb stance.Thought exactly the same. They should have had the shock factor if after the added sugar represented by cubes, then added the total carb/glucose effect in cubes like they did on The Truth About Carbs. Some of the so-called dieticians’ comments were outdated.
