SCHEDULE
- Lots of people there experienced in LCHF woe to chat to (it will be an informal event). People who have succeeded very well in reaching their goal of gaining control of BS usually with the added bonus of weight loss.
Lots of info to pick up:
- How to reduce HBA1C to enjoy life without complications
- LCHF receipes including breakfast, lunches, meals and desserts (please send any you would like to be included to me or if you prefer please add them on this thread)
- Cholesterol information as many people worry when setting off on this woe that it may have detrimental effect on them
- Inspirational stories for you to read about - if you are happy to share your journey in the booklet let me know on this thread
- Before and after photos - please let me know if you would like to inspire others by sharing yours.
- Exercise ideas
- Fasting and how it can be incorporated into your lifestyle
- the importance of monitors and finger pricking
THE MAIN EVENT AT THE EVENT!
We intend to have a photo taken of how we look after following this woe and with our BIG clothes on. It will be obviously linked in to the fact that we have taken control of our Diabetes and reduced our HBA1c levels significantly to avoid future complications with this woe. It's not just about
'look how much weight we have lost'. Only for people happy to have their photo taken - there will be a videographer, photographer and PR team there to capture the event,
this will help spread the word far and wide about how amazing the LCHF woe is for Diabetics, and for people who generally want to have better health.
This is a fantastic opportunity and our chance to get the message across to a wider audience. T-Shirts may be provided by DCUK for photo (to be confirmed)
***Anyone interested in joining in on the BIG photo please let me know as soon as possible***
Really looking forward to meeting up with fellow diabetics, I feel there is very little support for us out there in the community, and to this brilliant opportunity to spread the LCHF word and, fingers crossed, it will have the desired ripple effect!!!
THANK YOU
