A year ago I was nine and a half stones. I have never been a big person and actually had just gone up to that weight from 8 and half stones since having surgery two years previously. It suited me and I was pleased.
Told I was pre diabetic, changed diet mostly based on LCHF and have continued to lose weight ever since.
A few days ago it was found by a nurse at my doctors that I am now only 6 stones 10 bs. This is scary stuff. I am to see a doctor next week. I am also due an endoscopy on Tuesday. This is an example of what my week's menu would be:
One of the following for each meal.
Breakfast Round of Burgen toast with butter and either peanut butter or mature cheese.
OR
Three tblsp Total Greek yoghurt with chopped nuts and seeds.
Lunch Ham salad hummus with half a round of Burgen or two oatcakes or
Avocado salad hummus with the same or
Leftover saved dinner from previous evening
Egg on toast with ham or slice gammon
Scrambled eggs with salmon and oatcakes
Tim mackerel salad and humous (all salads with a good dollop of mayo)
Dinner Roast, everything without the potatoes. Half usual amount of weak gravy.
Moussaka make with egg full cream turkey mince aubergines topped with plenty cheese
Salmon cheese sauce made with full cream and veg
Indian takeaway once a fortnight
90% pork sausage mashed butternut squash veg gravy
These are just examples. In between meals I eat a few nuts such as Brazil nuts, or have a couple more oatcakes, or pork scratchings a couple of times a week, couple squares dark 85% chocolate, half a round of Burgen with sesame spread or peanut butter.
Supper I leave it as late as possible, anything up to 10.30 as I go to bed at midnight.
Oatcakes with cheese, humous or peanut butter, a round of cheese on toast if I haven't had it already that day, tinned fish on toast.
What can I do? I am under a dietician but not due to see her until end of February. I am literally wasting away. It's like my body has just eaten it's own fat and is continuing to do it.
Thanks.
