I've never even seen the Black Farmer ones around my area haha, I'll stick to these and the mother and the grandfather can stick to their cr**py Lawson skinless or Richmond sausages lol x

Richmond Sausages?
Perish the very thought

Going too do it when I get back without the mash.Baked beans, in mderation, seem to have little effect on em ethank God. I couldn't cope with my beans.
Maybe try another type of mash.

Another type of mash you say? Here's a link to three low carb recipes from the master himself.

The third one uses creamy cauliflower which is BETTER than ordinary mashed potato and contains a fraction of the carbs.

I can heartily recommend 'The Dopamine Diet'. Tom Kerridge is a fantastic cook who loves his grub and never compromises on flavour. I think he's now lost over 11 stone.

I second MBT's recommendation. Made his Moussaka. Absolutely to die for!

As a little culinary experiment I made this 'pasta' last week. It tastes surprisingly good and contains virtually zero carbs:

I'm going to make it again and see how it freezes because when I fancy pasta I want it NOW!

I'm impressed that you're sticking with 60g carbs a day. I'm struggling with 100g and had even considered cutting myself some more slack with my diagnosis not being that long ago. Well done.

I have probably slacked a bit now. I experimented a lot in the last 6 months & on Thursday's I eat what I want (for dinner anyway), but HbA1c still came back at 36.

But do you find that helps you mentally as well, that you've got a bit of a release valve on a Thursday night where you can take the pressure off?

Yes & no. I've got so used to my new diet now that I feel like i'm cheating when i'm probably not. I still feel really guilty after dinner on Thursday & go mega low carb for a couple of days to compensate.🙂

Trouble is that when you are on low carb (particularly very low carb), often the sudden intake of carbs does not feel so good.... I end up feeling bloated.....

That looks good, I'm going to try it 🙂
