Gluten-free diet

When I was really ill I lost 3 stone in weight in a few months as I was unable to eat or even drink a cup of tea. This was the only upside as I had tried to lose weight in the past with only moderate success. When I first started being able to eat again my taste buds had totally changed and I craved

Some follow lchf some hclf and some wfpb? With which diet can someone reverse and still enjoy all foods in moderation? Not bad eating habits but in moderation and in a sustainable form.

After some advice, I have been following LCHF and doing OMAD Mon-Fri and IF at the weekend, although sometimes I still do OMAD, if I'm really busy. I am now finding that Mon morning my weight is up by 3-4 lbs, it does go down again by the weekend. This has now happened the last 3 weeks and I am not sure

Hi, I’m currently vegan but i’m thinking of doing a LCHF vegan diet as i eat around 150 grams of carbs a day. I’ve noticed that carbs just make me feel bloated and not great. On LCHF how many grams of carbs a day is acceptable? 20? 30? I’d find it difficult to do any lower than 30 due to my love of fruit

Hey everyone. I joined here a few weeks ago having been diagnosed with angina. I have obviously had cardiac problems building up over the years but I've been asymptomatic (as far as I am aware). Following a CT scan and an angiogram (both of which were great, the medics and staff all brilliant) I need

For the past 10 years or so, I have been prescribed various medications for hypertension, with varying degrees of success. Most recently I was taking 100mg Losartan and 2.5mg Indapamide. Just over two years ago, I felt a large mass in my abdomen, which was found to be a simple large renal cyst. Last

I find it a bit concerning personally that Admins are suggesting LCHF in their welcome posts to new members - perhaps as admistrators of the forum you should let people make their own mind up, so as to avoid forcing one diet on any new person who arrives? That's not to say that any member who has found

I am confronted with a tight foreskin that start to bother me about 3-4 months ago. I always had a sensitive foreskin and sometimes I am getting fungal infection that usually goes away with antifungal cream (clotrimazole) or coconut oil. In fact in latest years I completely replace antifungal cream

Hello This month in our ‘Health in Focus’ posts, we’re looking at diet. Often, people diagnosed with cancer make changes to their diet because they want to support their health.

Any suggestions gratefully rec'd . Probably having Turkey and lots of veg. Plan on avoiding chocs etc. Starter probably a small prawn salad, but what about the pudding and the cake?

I notice a few of you doing Lytham's Challenge are reporting "carb cravings" and/or some trepidation about keeping this going. I can completely understand this. Once you get into LCHF, you realise that the British food landscape is awash with carbs (and low-fat food). Supermarkets, restaurants, everywhere

My diet is good, been gluten free for 3 years. Any suggestions please?

Here is a photo of tonight’s tea: The quiche is low carb/ healthy fats as the base is made from almond flour. Mix one large egg with two cups of almond flour (or ground almonds) and a pinch of salt. Roll it out and bake blind for 15-20mins (I put ceramic cooking beans on it to stop it bubbling up).

Hi all! I'm 2 months pregnant and since a good 3 weeks I've have this need to strain for a wee most of the times I go. Basically I have to really force and strain for anything to come out and it takes ages and I am worried I'll damage my pelvic floor if I keep at it. There is no pain whatsoever, colour

My first attempt at making TAT’s LCHF chicken tikka, served with salad leaves and raita. My husband liked it so much he’s asked for it again tomorrow. Result! For the first time he’s had my food without additional carbs for him. Baby steps 😉

Has anybody found a gluten free diet helped

Tonight’s tea: Quorn mince with veg (onions, garlic, courgette, peppers, tinned tomatoes) plus tomato purée, pesto, chipotle paste. Cauliflower rice and home-made Greek yogurt accompanied it. Delicious, filling and pretty low carb, healthy fats 🍂

I need to shift a few pounds, well more than a few, and am trying to do the time restricted eating, low carb diet. Only been doing for a couple of weeks but playing havoc with my running. Just too tired but still go three or four times a week but now so slow I wonder if it is worth it. Any suggestions
