Seems to delay the release of the carbs somewhat so the hit on the blood sugar is slower
Seems to delay the release of the carbs somewhat so the hit on the blood sugar is slowerHow would the cream stop it being higher?
Great one Ally
You're doing great! Well doneYou know I was thinking just the same thing, if they just confirm what his DPN says he will be so smug there will be no living with him.I might have to choke him with several mars bars. That would literally be death by chocolate.
On the bright side I have lost another 2 and a half pounds when I jumped on the scales this morning. Last week I was at my wits end not knowing what to eat on lchf but since I got my meter and a lot of help from here I am so much more comfortable with it and its beginning to pay off. I bought two new tops on saturday and had to buy size 14! Not been that for years. The bottom has yet to catch up its still stuck at 16 but when I started I was going from an 18 into a 20 because my gut was so big. They can say what they like at DESMOND. I shall carry on lchf
Bread, bread and more bread - with lots of butter. I could eat it 3 meals a day and still want more. Still have my toast at breakfast (or bread and butter if its really fresh). One slice sort of medium thickness and if I've been too generous I usually get away with being no more than 2.00 up on my pre but I do try not to have it too thick especially if I start higher in the morningI can't believe you either!!!!!!!!
Bread has been a difficult one for me.
I love bread.
No I loved bread.
have you tried adding xanthan gum to the flour first? You don't need much - I think it is a pinch to 200gs so you only need to buy the smaller quantity - I got a bigger bag thinking I would use a lot of it but bit of a mistake and you DO need to keep it dry...Means I can now roll out my soya pastry instead of having it crumble on the work top. Also was able to cut it out with pastry cutter then still carefully press into the bun tinsI know what you mean...I will look up the recipe for you and post it ... It is so lovely... I made individual ones in patty tins so I didn't get too much apple - I caramelised the apple first in Truvia and butter - a bit like a Tarte Tatin only the right way up... you have to form the pastry with your hands though...
Sounds like your date could well be a "keeper" letting you test him like thatSo....this morning
Spot on 5 !! I certainly approve! Had gone to bed on 5.5
Yesterday never went beyond 5.8 which even having gone out for carvery lunch, beef and pork with greens, sprouts, cauliflower and gravy- did wonder if it had cornflour in but if it had I was obviously ok with it!!
My 7, 14 and 30 day averages are still going to be a bit screwed after the 44 batch blips and yesterday my date was intrigued by testing so (using a new lancet of course!) I tested him, his 6.6 is now obviously going to be in my averages!! Oh well.....at least I know I'm still on track!!
Quite often happens to me - especially if the "pre" was a bit higher than usual ..... I'm not on meds, don't know if that makes any difference or notI've just tested my post breakfast bs and it is 4.8, it was 5.8 just prior to eating full fat greek yoghurt with blueberries and taking my metformin. there have been a few occasions this last week since I have been testing that the post bloods have been lower than the pre blood. Is this normal?
Don't worry, I'm sure you are recording correctly. The I'm thinking that +2 is......Plus 2 hours.....2 hours post prandial.Am I not charting my readings right? If I had those readings I would put it down as +0.4. was the 5.2 before dinner and the 5.6 after?
Not you, I meant Brettsza, with her problems?I'm eating fewer carbs now than I was when in the UK. When I arrived, with this issue tinkering along, I agreed with Mr B, I'd go right back to basics. I've always been able to handle modest portions of rice, and other carbs, so I can categorically state it isn't that.

I can't get that here - have to wait til I come home and pick some up - it gives structure apparently? I only use almond flour, with a little soy or coconut flour now and again to try and hold it all together... I don't mind moulding the pastry though... I love the cheesecake recipe too, and my little adjusted friandes.... I don't go without puds...have you tried adding xanthan gum to the flour first?

I reckon it's too much 'domestic' stuff going on... you need to relax more...Ah. Sorry. That'll be the frustration blinkering my vision.............
Hi Ally, They are coming down just takes time, well done......
You really are doing well... it's so encouraging when your clothes don't fit you any more....You know I was thinking just the same thing, if they just confirm what his DPN says he will be so smug there will be no living with him.I might have to choke him with several mars bars. That would literally be death by chocolate.

I've put mine up!
That's just what I was thinking...Sounds like your date could well be a "keeper" letting you test him like that
What a shame... it's so lovely... how do you keep your fat content up though? That's difficult...Lucky you! Cream doesn't seem to agree with me for some reason.
Brilliant...7.3 this morning after a marathon sleep last night
