Have looked at this site? http://www.dietdoctor.com/how-to-lose-weight

LCHF usually works very well but if it really is impossible to lose weight you probably have low thyroid hormones.

Maybe it is harder for women but I stuck with the lowcarb diet and lost loads of weight

Are you following a particular diet?

 

[Southbeds]

Do you have a meter?

Trying to do low carb

Do you have a meter?

Yes bloods are very irratic

 

[Southbeds]

Well eat to your meter changing what makes you spike

I eat low carb and haven't lost any weight either. It's always easier if you have a lot to lose or are male. Even eating to your meter e.g whatever makes your readings high you cut it oit. Just got to slog it out. To be honest even eating to my meter makes no odds bloods are still erratic. GP won't refer me to an endo either.
Good luck, if you find out what works let us know.

Hi I was diagnosed in Jan this year BG reading 19.3 now 6 - 7 weeks on down to 5s 6s
Lost over a stone now. Go onto the forum " What have you eaten today " we all follow the LCHF diet see what others eat and see what works for you. I have always had porridge as well for breakfast now I have poached eggs and bacon mushrooms or tomatoes. Hope this helps.

your not alone .. the wife a non diabetic has always eaten LCHF and is not able to get down to the weight she wants. If she goes below 20g of carbs a day she can move some weight. Remember to eat the fat side of this way of eating .. if you eat fats (olive oil .. coconut oil) your body will not need to store fat

Portion control...or i'll lock you under the stairs ....

What is erratic?

I eat like a bird, its not about portion control, I'm not vastly overweight, if you have read any of my other posts. I have exercised, weight training, gone ultra low carb, even did the Newcastle. Could only sustain that for 2 weeks and only lost 4 lbs. Had my thyroid checked. I'm a conundrum.
