I'm so sorry @cdpm. Do make sure you take plenty of fluids on board. You can't beat water out of the tap, but almost any sugar-free beverage will do.

I'm sorry @cdpm. Might be an idea to play safe and keep to cottage cheese, if available, until your gums heal.
It's diabetic-friendly, very nutritious and doesn't cause you gastric distress.

A food diary was my suggestion when you decided to give ADF a try @cdpm.

Regardless of whether you continue with ADF, by posting what you've eaten on this thread, you'll build a daily record for future reference.

Commiserations @cdpm. Please know we're rooting for you.

Please make sure you have plenty to drink. You can't beat water out of the tap IMO, but almost any sugar-free beverage will do.

Wow! Thanks for the compliment @Boodicca.

I'm always on the lookout for new, mouthwatering recipes and this forum provides lots of inspiration.
It's important to enjoy our low-carb lifestyle, otherwise we'd never stick to it, would we?
