[QUOTE="Annb, post: 1523406, member: 25851"] I'd be glad to see that diet when you can. I haven't eaten fruit for a couple of weeks now but had to yesterday when my BS dropped to 3.8 and stayed below 5 all day. I had a banana and later some strawberries to try to bring the level back up a bit. I figured a bit of sugar in the fruit would do the trick. Going the same way today, so just had another banana. What do you do if the level drops too low? I was heartened this morning when mention was made on the Breakfast programme of a swimmer (I think they were talking about a swimmer named Peaty) who consumes 6000 calories a day of only chicken, fish and salad. He is clearly very fit on that diet, although how he manages to plough through 6000 calories worth, I can't imagine. I am not only cutting out as many carbs as possible but keeping food intake as low as I can in order to get rid of some of the weight I am carrying. Drinking about 2 litres a day (tea - 3 or 4 cups daily, water (mostly to swallow pills) makes up the balance. I'm not good at counting calories - don't know how many are in what but 2 small meals a day of protein and veg/salad shouldn't count for too many. Not that this has helped over the years I have been trying to lose weight. As an aside - when I had my second son in 1969 I weighed 11stone 10lb. Next day I went into premature labour (only about 3 weeks) and had my 9lb 10oz boy. "Great", I thought, "I should be about a stone lighter" so I weighed myself - 11stone 10lb on the button! It was very disheartening and I've been struggling with my weight ever since. Someone said recently that women who have babies weighing over 8lb will probably be diabetic - well, I had 2 of them. Maybe there is some connection... Ann [/QUOTE]
