As always, different strokes for different folks.

Having found this blog via a very roundabout route I was intrigued to see that it was quite close to my own current diet which has evolved over the last three or more years with advice from many and varied sources.

I particularly liked

If you get hungry or have "cravings" take 1-2 slices of cheese, a slice of sausage or ham, a glass of milk or yoghurt, a few nuts, some olives, or something else lowcarb.
A roll of ham and cheese, perhaps with a little butter on, to a cup of coffee or tea.

I am assuming that she means cheese rolled in ham, which is one off my favourite protein snacks, and no a ham&cheese roll.

I am afraid I don't follow all she recommends - more beans and pulses than I should, probably, and I don't take Omega 3 supplements although I don't eat masses of fish.

ALso

Eggs (choose organic - ordinary eggs have too much omega-6)

surprised me. I hadn't heard of this.

Anyway, unlike the site which lead me to this, a quite clearly laid out guide to a low(ish) carb diet.

Cheers

Some useful information there for people just looking for the occasional low/no carb meal too - perhaps if basal testing or just investigating how they might fare with fewer carbs. I have to say though that a glass of milk would be lovely, but would spike me in a flash

Thats a more varied diet than I am on at the moment, although I am adding things now.🙂

A roll of ham and cheese, perhaps with a little butter on, to a cup of coffee or tea.

I think she may mean literally a bread roll, as she says add a little butter, odd that.

That is a good blog.

I wondered about that, but little lower down she says "if you really have to have bread" implying that the previous stuff did not include it.

Butter is a natural fat so I suppose it fits in with cheese and ham, although this may be a Swedish way of eating.
I don't know what Swedish cheese is like - perhaps it needs a little lubrication?

Strange you say that Alan, I find that I feel rubbish after drinking milk and I assumed it was my blood sugars spiking but my dietician said that milk is very low in carbs and shouldn't have that affect - especially since I can have up to 5g carbs with no insulin if I need a snack. The amount of milk I was drinking was only 2-3g carbs. She suggested I might be sensitive to milk! I like your suggestion better though

One of my nicknames at work used to be "flipper", that was because i spent so much time windsurfin, sailing & jetsking. And did i tell i adore seafood !!!!!!! 🙄🙄
