To all the hard-core LCHFs out there

I don't find a veggie low carb diet restrictive at all and have a non-diabetic hba1c. I think @Enclave is in the same boat as me and he eats like a king by all accounts So it is do-able, just saying. Your choice.

You can either reply to a person's post and they will be notified (a number will come up in the flag at the top right hand corner of their screen) or you can type an @ sign before their name which will also send them an alert. This is called tagging. Hope this helps!

Thank you! If you click on the envelope by the flag, you can have private conversations too. This can be with several people or just one. It is not public viewing but obviously people could choose to share that info with others.

Hi, no I am not vegan, but there are vegan T2s successfully managing their diabetes. Been vegetarian 38 years and T2 nearly one year. I'm loving the LCHF food. I have just posted to someone else about what I eat on this thread if your interested

Hi all - just a question for those of you experienced LCHFs: I have been medium - low carb for a while but for the last 10 days eating less than 30g cho. My readings have been amazing & I feel great so inspiration to continue. My question is - what do you do when Christmas comes? Or you dine out? Or say, were asked for afternoon tea? These all provide a challenge - I'm also veggie but considering eating fish after 23years! Any tips would be super - thank you.
