Hope the docs can fix you ASAP. Take care x

Cheers Sable..the one thing that i thought was quite funny...they told me that the occlusion would have occurred gradually over many, many years..but the minute i told them i was on LCHF with high cholesterol readings, suddenly eggs & saturated fat was quite possibly to blame..:)

Thats really wonderful, but just remember what the headmaster said.

Dear Pasha, I wish I WAS in detention today.
I am having a brunch meeting with lovely friends and I just know that there will be absolutely no portion control possible, but a proliferation of cheese and red wine, croissants, egg dishes of all kinds, baked fish, and so on. Even fruit - and cakes. It is a traditional gathering which I must attend and I enjoy the company very much.
My plan is to abandon ND , but to retain the calorie count with low carb food as unobtrusively as possible.and keep drinking water. Will this work?

7.3 this morning. getting progressively worse as I have been stress snacking for the last few weeks on cheese, nuts and stevia chocolate. i am giving myself another couple of days to get my head in order before aggressively tackling my sugar levels again.

i am stressed because i had two transient ischemic attacks or minor strokes and scans show that my right internal carotid artery is totally blocked. ..so i suppose snacking is the least of my problems at the moment :)
With your problems 7.3 Isn't so bad. Take care. Thoughts and prayers are with you xx

I bet yes. Neck on the line. To be confirmed.

Professor Taylor states, it is the weight loss that is important, not the method or pace of loss. Breaching your personal fat threshold is critical to reversal, for those who will achieve it.

And for those in the real world. What's the profs prediction for a birthday high tea?
