[QUOTE="DawnGH2304, post: 1488485, member: 400804"] Ha ha yes that is me in the photo, about 18 months ago. I am not vastly overweight, probably about a stone and a half but it is all sitting around my middle, due I am sure to the dreaded menopause. I initially went to the doctor because I was struggling to lose the newly acquired 'rubber ring' and that prompted a string of blood tests which revealed my prediabetes and the liver enzyme problems. After further tests and a liver scan I was told to go away for a couple of months and try to lose some weight and then they are going to recheck. Well 5 weeks along and I haven't lost a single pound but I am hoping that the cutting out of bread, pasta, potato and rice will have at least have had some effect of my blood sugar if not my weight! I have not tried intermittent fasting, can't say the thought appeals to me. Someone suggested that I may not be eating enough fat so I am trying this week to add more and see if that makes any difference. At this point I don't really want to get too finicky, I have just made, I thought, sensible swaps and changed low fat for higher fat where possible. I have also cut out as much artificial sweetener and additives as I can and have made an effort to make some (not all, I am working on it) of ours meals from scratch, mostly from Michael Moseley's 8 wk blood sugar diet recipe book. As I have said, the change in meals etc has resulted in hubby losing a stone so I guess it is along the right lines, I just need to tweak it a bit more to get some weight shifting....... watch this space [/QUOTE]
