[QUOTE="SugarSpike, post: 1386514, member: 64635"] Hey everyone, Thought I'd come on and give a bit of an update.... I'm feeling quite motivated and good, having this week off work has probably helped, but I'd like to think its due to my diet. I have been doing a more keto diet the past few weeks and am hopeful its a change for the better. As I said before I have been low carb and gluten free on and off for the past few years and have seen a change, but was still struggling with a few things, namely acne, tiredness, anxiety and lack of motivation. After a week of keto and really keeping track of my carb intake I felt so full of energy it was so weird, I then had 2- 3 days of feeling really really tired but that passed, I feel good at the moment, still have energy and have been kept motivated by watching tutorials on youtube and following fellow low carbers on social media, Ive made several new things in the past couple of weeks and I'm still going... I hope this can be sustained, I will never go back to a high carb diet but Keto is obviously very limiting, I will see how it goes in the next few months and track my blood sugars as much as I can, I don't know if its worth getting some test strips to see if I'm in Ketosis? After my last post I went to my GP to try and get some more support, I was actually quite surprised as she did not tell me off for eating low carb as I expected and said it was the latest research, she also said my Hba1c had improved so I must of been doing something right and I was probably eating better than most people! She did however say there wasn't much support she could offer and to just carry on what I was doing, she referred me to a dietician but even said herself she didn't know how useful it would be to me. I went to the dietician and of course, wasn't any help, she was nice enough though, suggested add a bit more fruit and a few more complex carbs, discharged after one meeting. One question if anybody knows..I need to take a magnesium supplement but does anyone know which is best? there are several different types? [/QUOTE]
