[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 812331, member: 160246"] Seanj67, glad I'm not the only one struggling. :) My journey began with hypoglycemia 30+ years ago. Crossed over into pre-diabetes in 2004, then diabetes at some point between 2007 and 2009. Two months ago, I had a blood glucose 282 mg/dL (15.7 mmol/L), which led to me being here. I'm just finishing my seventh week on the LCHF diet. I have other conditions too, a vulnerability to colitis and a diagnosis of non-celiac gluten sensitivity. I've been gluten-free for 3 or 4 years now. My weight loss and blood glucose plateaued for two weeks which was so frustrating, then a week ago my blood glucose started moving down again. Two days ago I broke the "100" barrier with a blood glucose of 93 mg/dL (5.2 mmol/L). Weight however has not budged which in my mind is ridiculous given what I'm eating, or not eating. I'm having to snack twice a day now in addition to eating 3 meals a day. My determination to eat vegetables at every meal is helping. I even have brussel sprouts for breakfast once a week now. Trying to limit snacks to 1 ounce walnuts or pecans or 1/2 avocado. Have reduced protein intake, but still working on increasing fat intake. Overcoming my fear of fat is still a challenge. Walking a mile or two daily or every other day. I think I've stayed within 30 - 40 carb a day range, but I really need to begin documenting to make sure. Could be wrong. Will see over the next couple of weeks. Keep doing what you're doing. I believe firmly that if you were able to get your blood glucose down on Weight Watchers, you can do it again on the LCHF diet. It's just going to take longer. Don't let the folks who get down to normal blood glucose levels in a week dissuade you. One question Seanj67, do you have any "foods to limit or not eat" lists for the LCHF diet? [/QUOTE]
