Peanuts are cheap and relatively low-carb, but high in protein. Also peanut butter.

Love the colours and the geometric shapes.

So true. As a type 1 diabetic, I've found keto liberating rather than restrictive.

It all depends on what the motivation is and what the end goal is. Keto works for me.

That's the best way, IMHO. If one craves replacement foods, one inevitably gravitates back towards the real ones. Better to rule out those bad boys.

Why do we all need obnoxiously large microphones on stands nowadays, just because we are speaking? What's the actual point?

This is why I've always used xDrip with my Libre sensors. I can actually calibrate them properly that way.

As I recover from my eye surgery, my food is important.
Kale for zeaxanthin, courgette for vitamin C - both vital for eye health. Fresh turmeric for its anti-inflammatory properties.

I've quit caffeine for my #mentalhealth and to reduce my #anxiety. Today I had my first one in 4 weeks. It won't become a regular fixture again any time soon. I am better off without it.

I invented this recipe for bean chilli some 20+ years ago. This week, my wife made it again for us, at my request. I wanted to know if I could get away with it. Turns out it wasn't a great idea. Despite my best calculations of the carb content, my BG went up to 11! this is why I #keto for my #T1D.
