Hi I'm a bit of a late arrival but a quick skim read through this post has been encouraging in that

a) I'm type 2 diabetic
b) Doing Keto/lchf/if
c) LOVE Lidl lol
d) Have problems with my diabetic nurse who was busy plugging the Ancel Keys food triangle. She's lovely but stuck in the same old rhetoric.
e) find it hard to access some of the stuff in recipes from across the pond.

Generally speaking I've tried to follow the advice of Butter Bob Briggs who has videos on You Tube and I KIS ... Keep it Simple. Sometimes though it is good to have something a little different.

I hope everyone is doing ok and being the best losers. I'm based over in N Ireland and know of no other Keto/Low Carbers/Atkins followers in my area. There is a high level of Slimming World and other conventional "diet" organisations available but most of my time has been spent on Diet Doctor where I have access to most of the things I need. Hope this finds everyone in good fettle and ready for a bright New Year.
