Where to go?

[Davo]

I recently joined and you can read my details at
https://forum.diabetes.org.uk/boards/threads/new-here-and-struggling-with-type-2.65735/

I have a few days off next week so will get chance to properly delve into this part of the forum and try some new recipes.

In the meantime is there any book that is recommended for low carb diets? Also when I search the internet for low carb recipes there are many different sites. Is there a particular site that you have found very useful.

Thanks
David

Welcome.

Hello and welcome to the forum Davo. I do Atkins but it's not for everyone. Keeps my BG level so I continue on with it. I've been trying to stick to it since 2004 but have no willpower! Now I'm Type 2 there's all the more reason I need to get on track. 🙂 I only feel well on Atkins. Good luck with your search for a lifestyle that suits you.

Personally, I'd recommend The GL Diet for Dummies - it's not a low-carb book specifically, but a very good introduction to the 'Glycaemic Load' approach to selecting and combining foods so that they have a slow, steady impact on blood glucose levels. 🙂

I would also recommend The Dopamine Diet by Tom Kerridge. Some wonderful recipes in there.

I like the websites of DietDoctor and DitchTheCarbs for recipes and food ideas. Loads of help and info about low carbing on them too. Google them.

What Ginger said, plus Low Carb Yum & I Breathe I'm Hungry.
