Low Carb Recipes

[BIWI]

I was wondering if it would be possible to have a thread for low carb recipes, in the weight loss section? Could be used for both the Bootcamp and Low Carb topics.

We currently have separate recipe threads in the Bootcamp topic (organised by food type, e.g. meat or poultry or vegetarian, but they keep getting lost in the list of other topics.

Having them all in one, dedicated topic would make them much easier to find.

What do you think?

Because there are two topics just devoted to low carb! A third seems to be overkill for one weight loss method.

I would appreciate a topic for general weight loss recipes, if MN are considering adding topics.

There are two topics for low carbing because one is specific to Bootcamp. Mumsnet created that after MNetters were consulted about Bootcamp/low carbing via a survey (many years ago now), and posters who were interested in low carbing from a general perspective wanted Bootcamp to be separated from their topic. Which is why there are two separate topics.

It’s still treating low carb differently to every other weight loss method, though!

It’s MNHQ that makes the decisions anyway. I’m just asking if they are going to add another dedicated low carb board if we can also have a general one for weight loss recipes.

Well why not start your own thread then? It's no skin off my nose, and I think it's a good idea to have recipe threads dedicated to specific weight loss methods. But this is me canvassing for a low carb recipe thread!

And this is me adding my opinion about it

Honestky, low carb is like a cult on here sometimes!

Oh yes please - you only have to look at the low carb section and see just how many recipe threads there are in there lost in between all of the chat and bootcamps to see it would be well used

Perhaps it's because low carb is so effective @BassoContinuo?

If you really want recipe threads for other weight loss methods, then there is nothing stopping you asking for it.

I think we all get your point of view on low carbing now

... although an AS of this username shows that you have never posted on ANY of the weight loss threads, so I'm wondering quite why you've chosen to pick on this one @BassoContinuo?

I'd welcome a low carb recipe topic but it shouldn't include bootcamp, that's already taken over so much of the low carbon section already...

*carb

I also think the wegovy etc threads should get their own topic, sick of looking at them tbh, but should be separate to diabetes.

it’s a public forum. I’m allowed to have an opinion!

Anyway I’ve started my own thread now.

I’d find a low carb recipe section useful though am not doing low carb specifically.

Also agree stongly that weight loss drugs could do with their own section as they face specific issues with supply and at some I think maintaining once off it will become an issue.

Yes please for a low carb recipe section.

How can it take over the low carb section when it is its own topic?! That's a silly thing to say

I would be interested- lots of recipes get buried in boot camp or other threads and it’s hard to find them.

Yes please!

It's a yes please from me too.

Great idea, yes please from me too

I'd enjoy this and use it lots. Have found and use so many delicious low carb recipes but always lose them. Would be great in one place.

Just to add. My DH is away this week and I wanted to take the opportunity to eat proper low-carb for the week. I spent a couple of hours last weekend looking through various recipe books to put together a low-carb meal plan that would work for me but also adult DC (trying to gain weight after illness) with added carbs.

A dedicated low-carb recipe topic would have made that so much easier.

Another yes please!

@HebeMumsnet @LilyMumsnet

Please, please, please!!

it would make it so much better!! It's difficult to keep track when they're just in the bigger topic!

'Bootcamp taking over low carb' 🤣🤣🤣🤣

that's like saying step parents are taking over the step parent topic 😂😂

Yes please , it would make finding low carb recipes much easier
