My Filipina Wife Does Low Carb

youre not skinny!

The drive isn’t coming from the very top. It is patient driven with some drive from the medical profession.

Trouble with ready to eat stuff is that it is done to a price, uses cheap and often the wrong ingredients such as bad oils and well, just bad ingredients. So at the moment most people who elect to use a low carb solution have to rely on a degree of cooking from scratch. Some people cannot be arsed, but those are the ones that either experience progressively worse health conditions or elect for surgery or opt to stay on medication.

This government is tinkering at the edges with bans on advertising of junk food and taxes on sugary drinks etc but at the very top it isn’t happening.

I have posted a range of success stories from a range of GPs who have succeeded with a good number of patients, however they don’t do the shopping or do the cooking, the patients are left to do that. The GPs just advise, and provide a range of choices. The patient decides which way they prefer to go. Dr David Unwin has succeeded with 88 patients now - medicine free lchf reversal but the patient has to want to go that route.

That is zero carb.

My legs aren't,I work them constantly, but my upper body isn't exactly fat, I can't remember my BMI but it's lower than it should be.

Our home made pizzas are similar but ours use an almond flour base.

i attended the diabetes prevention course..it went on over 6 months till the lock down curtailed it. some of the info went over my head--because i rarely eat some foods--like cakes biscuits and puddings. i did reduce my sugar intake. but for me--the main thing is less is more. i lost a stone quite quickly--and have maintained the lower weight.

There is a demand for ready to eat low carb stuff. But not enough to tip supply in the right direction. There is change, various businesses are starting up but the most popular food still remains the unhealthy stuff LOL. Many people lap up the unhealthy stuff until they are diagnosed as having a significant health condition and it is often only then that they seek a change to their diet, unfortunately.

The companies that supply ready to eat meals that you are referring to don’t give a sheet about your health or mine. Just their profit. As long as they can sell something to you or I they couldn’t care less what they put in it or how it impacts your or my health. If you can follow that you have the answer to your question.

I posted a video of Dr Aseem Malhotra interviewing Tom Watson MP. I pointed out to look out for his explanation as to how it happens. It is pretty accurate. His encounter with the Cocoacola man and the Macdonalds man etc etc.

I also reduced weight and blood sugar by reducing sugar. In many many cases it is not enough. Thousands and thousands of cases it is not enough. For many many people to achieve medicine free reversal, carbohydrates (which are sugar) have to be reduced or even removed.

I come across a lot of people who are happy to remain on medication but I come across a lot more that want to be medication free.

Cocoa cola isnt a food.

no--but the original had sugar in it..sugar is a carb.

no--i didnt mean ready meals--they are rubbish already--poor value for money..and not enough to satisfy my appetite..which is modest. i mean--low carb bread..bfast cereal--pasta--staples.

Wifey uses wholemeal flour in her baking of pizza and soya milk, been making them a few years now

Almond flour and full fat milk is better for low carbs

Indeed it is, but we like it the way we make it that's why we use them
By having a small %age in this I find it easier to omit carbs in other foods during the day.

There is low carb bread. Defo. Hovis do some. Some supermarkets such as Sainsburies and Morrisons do some. They don’t always have it in stock and if so best to buy a couple of loaves and freeze one.

There isn’t really a substitute or alternative for breakfast cereal or porridge. I make my own low carb granola and buy some from Amazon but it is expensive.

This is a typical breakfast of mine if I don’t eat a cooked breakfast. Low carb granola, 10% Fat Greek yoghourt, double cream and strawberries. No sugar or sweetner etc.



This is Hovis Lower Carb bread...

I do for the youngster - on her half of the pizza.

I understand your strategy.

There is a low carb pasta but not many people like it. In fact it is zero carb. Also bare naked rice. Same goes. You might like it though. Made with Konjac flour and ultra low carb. You need to rinse it through before cooking.

I find the almond flour pizza base works well. The flour is however more expensive than wheat flour.

Your pizzas look pretty good btw.
