Ok, here goes an epic gcal post catching up with 10 pages. Whoo! First of the BC.
Hello everyone. I've missed you.
I've been on BC since the last BC so will refrain from posting food daily. I'm down to only 2 proper meals a day due to being fat adapted and don't want to confuse anyone.
SociallyAcceptableCookie blend the butter into your coffee, for work buy a cheapy battery powered milk frother (ikea or eBay) makes it lush like a latte!
Lord knows what they thought.
to this day!
Double cream is dairy, it has carbs. 2.6g/100ml so be careful, I like lattes etc and if I let myself I could easily get through a 300ml pot a day in coffees which adds up. There is a school of thought that dairy sugar effects insulin production disproportionately to the actually sugar involved but it is a personal tolerance like most things it's best to do what you can to be sensible and if for some reason you aren't losing its the first thing to drop.
Hi guymartinssideburns glad to see you back. How are you?
ciderwithbuddha
for you and DC, migraines and poorly children/ exam stress. What a combo.
doingitformyselfatlast carb flu is largely thought to be mineral/electrolyte deficiency. You suddenly change food and start drinking tonnes of water and dilute all your electrolytes. Maybe try a supplement, more potassium (lo salt is good for that) or a good mineral salt.
strawberryleaf total fage full fat or lidls full fat Greek yoghurt (in a bucket!) are my favourite
flipdoodle not exactly unexpected as I've been low carb off and on ,for years (you think I'd learn, hmmm) but my sense of smell, mental clarity, anxiety, acne, eczema, psoriasis, PCOS, PTSD all improve on low carb high fat. 
raisedbyguineapigs avoid packet sauces if you can on BC we are trying to avoid processed foods. There will probably be all kinds of nasties and 15g carbs is quite high. You can make a tasty stirfry with a bit of garlic, ginger, chilli, 5 spice and some tamari and lime juice. I normally make it for me and the carbivores in the house and once ready I take mine out and thicken their sauce with a little slaked cornflour or gravy granules.
pengweng sprouts are grand! Add bacon and Camembert
humphreycobblers whenever I have an epic stall I notice I've let my fat drop and my protein creep up. Might be worth a check? It's easy done.
wanheda frankie & benny they do a 'naked burger' on their gluten free menu (served in lettuce leaves) or the Napoli salad with chicken (mozzarella, olives, tomatoes, chilli, mixed salad leaves, lemon olive oil) ask for dressing on the side with either as they smother in sticky nonsense usually.
boldly / equiem / auntiemaggie PCOS solidarity fist bump! I used to take metformin but it did nowt except make me feel rubbish and have squits (apol, realise we have not yet reached that time in BC when all chat turns bogwards)
My assisted reproduction specialist took me off of it after 5 years and put me on a LC/HF eating plan and I lost weight and conceived.
The thing is that the way he explained it the metformin combats excess insulin but if you eat low carb and get into a state where the body doesn't produce excess insulin you don't need it. Obviously I'm not a Dr just sharing what he said, he was senior prof. Assisted repoduction at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and the medical school here where they are quite innovative and forward thinking regards treating things with a dietary cure. Might be worth a conversation with your health care professionals
