Water can make a HUGE difference to any diet.Hi BigIain, sorry for the slow response, it's been a very hectic week. I thoroughly recommend the diet - the book I found easy to read & very encouraging & I've even purchased it's supporting recipe book. The recipes in both are delicious and my whole family have embraced the food - on the whole anyway! I've decided to try things even if I don't like the sound of them & I've changed my mind about all kinds of things! I found the first 3 days tough - really quite hungry at times, but I sipped my way through what seemed like gallons of hot/ cold water with lemon slices or mint leaves which seemed to take the edge off. I can honestly say, after that I've felt fine - I no longer get "hangry" at those key times (I always used to be desperate to eat at around 11 am & 3.30 pm) - Yes I might be peckish, but it now seems to be just a little tummy rumble rather than an emotional thing. I occasionally go a bit over 800 call, but I try and balance it over the week. I've dieted many times over the years, never in quite such an "extreme" way. I have always craved he food I "couldn't" have on other diets & been tempted to pick. I can honestly say I've not felt I'm missing out on anything - my kids can sit and eat a bar of chocolate next to me & I'm not interested. I feel that my sweet cravings have completely faded away & I'm even lookig forward to a "green drink" for breakfast! !! (I didn't like it the first twice, but I've grown to enjoy it rather surprisingly). Please let me know whether you've decided to give it a go - I'm now usually so slow to respond and I'd be happy to pass on any useful tips if you do. Several of my work colleagues have embarked on the diet just because they're so impressed with the rapid results & how interesting my lunch box looks! Good luck! I've lost 13.2 kg (2 stones & 1 lb) in 5 weeks & 5 days. I feel like a new person - in mind as well as body. It's great to be in control.
Great results. Double Winner!!Good morning all, some fantastic results from everyone today, well done everyone!
My progress remains steady - I've now completed 40 days of the blood sugar diet & remain very happy with everything to do with it - enjoying the food, enjoying more stable emotions (although I did have a very moody day on Tuesday, when I realised how much weight I still have to lose - I usually focus on the positives but the long game is so hard sometimes)
So my stats so far:
Start weight, 7/1/18: 114.2 kg
Weight last Friday: 103 kg
Weight today: 101 kg
Weight loss this week : 2 kg
Total weight loss: 13.2 kg
Let's see what the next week brings! Good luck all
Any activity is good for weight loss but wish it wasn't this one for youDon’t know if it counts but lost a pound this week I had to do an emergency dash in last few days to help my very poorly 87 year old mum so ate less - mainly keeping going on nuts and cream in coffee when could get it. Now back home and mum improving. Sure will put it back on when go back to normal eating again buy hey it’s Friday! Will have to start planning I think for these emergency additional trips - I go every 3/4 weeks and can plan then but she is diabetic with poor kidney function so no doubt may be doing it more. Next planned trip next week but will zip up there before - a mere 120 miles away - if I’m worried about her.

Thankyou for reminder. I must drink more water. Since coming off some diabetes meds I've lapsed my heavy water drinking.. Maybe my bloating needs more water?
Im blaming insulin but water maybe what I'm lacking.!!!!
@ToveyKath and @ickihun thank you for your kind encouragement. Try not to think of your final goal and how much weight you need to lose to get there. I get very down when I think of it. I keep optimistic week to week and think of the 2 stone 3 lbs I've lost since diagnosis, despite twice falling off the low carb wagon!
@shelley262 i hope your mum is feeling tons better.
I'm losing again
No swimming yet. But finances are in place for whole family next weekend.
So looking forward to Friday. I hope no hiccup til then.
How is everyone's confidence?
Good morning 147 last week and 145 this week so a loss of 2 lbs!
