Why is milk higher in carbs than most other dairy?

Please can someone tell me which bit of milk it is that contains the carbs and if there is a rule-of-thumb I can use to know which dairy products are low in carbs? Milk isn't too low in carbs (so I tend to…

I want to use it as a stand alone training tool and to help me with pace setting in races, it doesn't need to track steps/calories/routes/connect to my phone etc etc. I cannot wear a…

keto and mental health
I've been low carb for about 6 weeks now and love it as a way of eating! However, I'm pretty sure I'm not "in ketosis" (based purely on my carb intake which hovers around 50-80g/day) and am interested in trying it out to see if it helps my mental health. My mental health is more stable since lowering my carbs but I'd like…

We're having pizza tonight....
What do you guys do in this situation? My plan is to just scrape all the topping onto my plate and leave the pizza base. Do you have any alternative suggestions? I love eating this way - get to eat all the best bits of a pizza whilst still losing weight

Partner: high(er) fat PLUS carbs
Hi all, I've been following the LCHF way of eating for about 6 weeks now and am really enjoying it (my "low" carb is less than 100g/day though I'm usually under 50g/day). I'm eating quite a lot of salads at the moment as it's summertime. My partner isn't really into salads so I am currently cooking the same protein/fat…

Sweet (Bell) Pepper Seed recipes??
I LOVE sweet (bell) peppers and eat a ton of them. Tonight I was preparing two of them for dinner and as usual, removed the seeds and pith before eating. As I was doing it, I suddenly why I was throwing that part of them away.... So my question is, does anyone have any recipes or suggestions as to things I can do with…

*NICE* adjectives starting with J and K for hen do names
I'm organising a hen do weekend for my friend, and am going to make personalised sashes for us all to wear. Some of the girls would definitely not be comfortable in the usual "Slutty Sarah", "Kinky Katie" type sashes and so (perhaps contraversially!) I'm going to go for ones that are nicer descriptions such as "Stunning",…

Starting strength training
Happy Weekend everyone! I want to increase my strength and get rid of my squidge by starting weight lifting. However, I am worried about doing something silly and causing an injury that perhaps won't become apparent for years by which time the damage is done. Perhaps this is me being overly paranoid, but having needed foot…
