Wow thanks both for sharing pictures and stories! I lost 15kg between last June and the end of the year. Been a bit rubbish with keeping my carbs down (where I know they should be but still not eating 'normal person' carbs) since then - but never great with the cold / grey. I dont' think it is a...

Really good link, thanks!

Hi, I'd like to introduce myself - I'm your twin ;) :happy: I remember seeing your posts last year when I also lost a decent amount of weight low carbing (8 kg). I then headed to Oz for work in October / November and got derailed on the plane (impossible to order a low carb meal) then by all my...

Interesting comparison @Grateful thank you! I'll have a closer look at the FFds site (yes I do read and speak French) I think there are doctors (thinking of my endocronologist I was seeing during pregnancy) and DNs here in Oz that are advocates of LCHF (thinking of what they said to me without...

Just thinking but in my mind mid 6 fasting readings aren't 'normal' and are too high, that is what I was pre low carbing and then again last week but am now in the 5's - I wonder if the pre low carbing BS's were down to insulin resistance but last weeks was reflecting me not feeling great (rest...

I finally made it to Oz (on my own with a toddler :confused::oldman::bored:) and got my machine that works from mums. I arrived after 40 hours of travelling last night and we just had cheese on toast for dinner so I was expecting a really bad reading this morning (I also ate carbs on the journey...

Little update. I went to see my GP and she was thrilled with my weight loss and the Hba1c result and told me she wasn't bothered at all about my fasting being (in my mind) so high :confused::confused::wideyed:hmmm ok I thought! Anyone shed any light on that theory?????? She also said she thought...

I was hoping last weeks lab teat of 6.4 was a blip but got my meter working this week and had mid to high 6s every day :banghead: 6.7 this morning.

I'm going to have to have a bit of a look in the supermarkets here in France to see if I can find any lower carb bread options as all your talk of what you can get in the UK makes me fancy some Vegimite on toast! There were some good lower carb breads in Oz, I'll have to try them and see how...

Thanks @ringi - a couple of good points that I haven't thought over too much- we often eat too late although getting better as the nights draw in. And the really big point is the exercise - I'm just not doing any other than running after a toddler, tween and teen, renovating an old french barn...

Hi from a long time lurker! I've had 3 gestational diabetic pregnancies (eldest is 16 youngest is 3 - last one I was on insulin) and have probably been prediabetic for years. I spent a long time playing with lowering my carbs a bit and burying my head in the sand I'm embarrassed to say! After...

Hi I was actually coming to post about this so thought I'd jump in on this thread. I am trying to go over to a low carb diet and last night I was really good and had courgetti (first from my garden :) ) with some chicken breast, garlic and onion - it was delicious and I was pumped to see my...
