We do have a few UK members here who do order from that website and really enjoyed the products. Im sure they will be around to post their experiences soon enough. Personally speaking, I dont order prepackaged foods like this as I prepare everything from scratch at home... too many food sensitivities/allergies..

As someone who works in healthcare for a living - yes - absolutely contact your primary care physician. Make sure you let him/her know that you are following a lower carb intake because that can factor in to the picture. Make sure you also write down everything you have consumed for the past 24 hours to see if there was…

soups and stews that incorporate a variety of beans and vegetables is always a great go-to healthy meal. In Australia, find some inspiration from China town.. they have PLENTY of dishes that are extremely inexpensive.. Im sure you have plenty of asian stores there... A good soup that is from India is called "Daal" or…

Ponzu chicken served over steamed broccoli and mushrooms is my husband's absolute favorite! We both love my seasoning rubs for chicken and do a slow roast in the oven for several hours... Always comes out moist and TONS of flavor. I make compound butters ahead of time and will often rub down chicken with it, roast it in…

We have a group called "Low Carber Daily Forum" where all varieties of low-carb intakes are more than welcomed to join in. It is definitely NOT a fad diet as there are many people out there who are medically advised to follow a lower carbohydrate intake, including diabetics so its definitely not a fad... Please consider…

If your body is truly relying on ketones, one of the ways (not always reliable) is to test your urine, midstream, with something called ketostix. On the side of the bottle is a diagram. After you 'catch' the urine on the stick, you wait 15 seconds to get a color reading. That reading needs to be held up close (but not on…

Did you try searching the WW website?

I TOTALLY understand this - all them drug reps coming in with lunches, catered meetings, etc. Ive been working in healthcare for over 17 years and its definitely happening in any healthcare environment. I work in an 85 person AR/AP Finance office. We hold the conferences there for physicians and surgeons and that includes…

Definitely need to build your own recipe in the recipe builder... the database here is worthless if you are doing your own creations to be honest...

Hi - we have a group called Low Carber Daily Forum where all varieties of low carb intakes are welcomed. Yes for many it does make a difference on the type of carbohydrates to consume vs the processed/refined foods, etc... a prominent focus is on keeping foods fresh and as natural as can be.

I prefer to cook with sea salt or kosher salt only.... the intake Im following under doctor's orders has a tendency to excrete my sodium levels - pair it with my current prescriptions, I can get depleted real fast. Thanks to cooking everything from scratch and only using fresh foods - and adore drinking water very…

I personally wipe the machine(s) down before AND after I use them. I was asked by a female gym member why I wipe it before I use it... I asked her if she could handle a blunt reply.. she said absolutely.. So.. I told her "because there are too many f'ing slobs here who think its ok to leave their mess and too damn lazy to…

If you are a diehard bargain hunter, it should not be more expensive... plus, if you are fortunate to live in a region/country where its warmers for longer periods of time, growing your own garden is definitely a bonus!!!!

The 8 8oz cups are in the normal course of the day. But, lets face it, our bodies dehydrate when we are sick, when we deal with extreme heat, or extreme cold, thus rendering our bodies to need/require more water. But, we also get water from natural sources like most fresh vegetables and fruits. These however are not a full…

Ill tell you this: Ive been clean eating for a good many years. When people at work bring in foods for a potluck - I am damn near ready to vomit because I can EASILY tell who is the real cook, and who works with prepackaged/processed foods... Seriously - get your youtube.com going for free cooking lessons and just stop…

I would have a heart-to-heart chat with the PT. Clearly you are benefiting from the services provided under their guidance. However, there is a professional line that needs to be drawn vs personal line. I work with a Team Leader here at work. What an amazing woman! She asked me at one point if I believed in a supervisor…

We have a very large Spinal Surgical division where I work - I do the medical billing for them and 300 other physicians. I see the claims coming over, the notes for the surgeries all on the people who have reinjured theirselves from doing careless activities that they were advised NOT to do.... its very hard to get them to…

I gotta ask this... what is more important? The war you have with conservative/republican vs liberal/democratic thinking? Or the simple solution of how to put good/healthy foods on the table on a tight budget? Honestly speaking here - politics have nothing to do with any of your problems with your wife... Thats a hostile…

Could you open your diary? Hard to make suggestions when the ideas really should start with what you have been eating for the last 6 weeks or so.
-
I dont mean to be cruel here, but you are asking something that relates to a medical situation. You should be directing this to the surgeons who performed the surgery... only they can advise you what is appropriate. It might even involve you holding discussions with a Physical Therapist. Dont risk injury by bringing a…

Based on your diary - you are not eating enough, you are not eating regularly and your intake is significantly unbalanced.... Unfortunately I see name-brand-this, name-brand-that... You have several days where you are skipping meals.... Consistency is the key all across the board.
