Hi, welcome to the forum, feel free to share a few details or ask questions

People are people. The nicest people are those with kind hearts and minds.
Any baked goods I post can be easily reduced further in carbs by making them with artificial sweeteners

Currently working on reduced carb (not low carb) recipes for muffins/biscuits without using nut flours or artificial sweeteners. The website website sugarfreelondoner has specifically low carb recipes.
At present most of my recipes are very much experimental. I'm not using nut flours or artificial sweetener however my primary aim of making bakes lower in carbs & lower in saturated fats than those sold in shops has been achieved. The rewards have mostly been yummy.
Next steps are corrections to recipes which have been slightly (or significantly) lacking, and adapting new recipes.
I bake small batches. The muffins can generally be frozen for up to 3 months when wrapped well.
I need cake and biscuits in my life! For me treats help increase my adherence to healthy eating, and I factor their carbs/fats into my daily food.

Sep 2024 GP confirmed beta blockers are contributing to bradycardia and low BP. Confirmation from GP - I have Focal Fatty Liver.
Oct 2024 Presented observations to GP - it seems my big weight loss may have worsened bradycardia, low BP and caused additional heart disturbances. Referred back to cardiology, weight loss paused until I can improve my stats.
