Welcome to Total Nutrition Care
I am an accredited clinical dietitian with over 30 years experience treating many conditions using medical nutrition & diet therapy. My private practice operates on Tuesday, Friday and Saturdays in Murrumbeena and on Wednesday in Beaumaris. I am also an Adjunct Associate Professor at La Trobe University teaching dietitians and supervising nutrition research. I have also developed a special range of low carb, high protein, high fibre bikkies called Skinnybik that are enriched with hunger busting lupin (a legume) that can help with weight loss and blood glucose management.

Tasty way to eat cabbage..but I would use ricotta or cottage cheese instead of cream cheese and less mozzarella on top ( or use fetta) to make recipe leaner.
Fava or chickpea nuts are a much better choice than the pea chips..more protein and fibre and less fat and carbs and less processed.
This study showed that about 70 to 120g carbs per day helped put diabetes into remission but not less than 50g (which is keto).
Study Shows Low-Carb Diets May Help Put Diabetes in Remission

A new study found that a diet of fewer than 20% carbohydrates resulted in lower blood glucose and Hemoglobin A1C levels for people with type 2 diabetes.If you need to eat Gluten free bread because of an intolerance or because you are coeliac, Genius bread (from UK) tastes pretty good.
There is a myth that gluten free bread is better for you than normal grainy bread. It's not true.
GF breads often contain high amounts of refined starchy flours and many additives to make them taste better.
Genius bread is better than other GF breads in this respect.
