hi, i'm in a similar situation, no husband but family history of diabetes and need to lose weight as i don't want to end up following in the family footsteps. I'm a stone and a bit down and have 7 to lose. This place has great resources and support. I try and keep my total carbs under 30, and...

my blood pressure did this at the drs, never had a high blood pressure reading in my life, then had 3 consecutive high readings at gps. Turns out it was white coat syndrome, most gps do a 24hr monitoring, they fit you with a machine, send you off to spend your day as normal and then download...

Great Article, specially as i pile loads of coconut oil in my chicken curry :) Why is this message not filtering to our gps though, my gp recently offered me a drug that blocks you digesting fat when i expressed concern about being prescribed a med that's known to cause weight gain. When i...

haha...chickpeas and dried fruit!

yeah you can eat giblets, can't vouch for how palatable they are mind, my gran used eat em when she made stock, she used to chew the bones for marrow too. We used to take the mick but guess she knew more than we gave her credit for

5/7 but I still wouldn't eat any of it anyway

can you eat organ meats and bone broths, they can really help with your mineral levels. I ate paleo style for a while, never made it to full carnivore but I prefer a meat based diet, i struggled with the organ meats but the bone broth was and still is a firm favourite, You can add extra fat...

yeah i find it much harder, i'm post menopausal. (hysterectomy 10 yrs ago ovarian cancer) My weight loss is much slower than i had hoped but i have resigned myself that years of trying the low fat, and always rebounding fatter than i started, means i have probably got so significant metabolic...

i had to increase my fat to lose weight and really tighten up on my carbs, I also found i lose weight better if my fat comes more from butter and lard than from cheeses, if i make a mince and tomato meal i add a good table spoon of butter on top of whatever fat i've browned the mince with. I...

Hi thanks, great advice, i use diet dr, and my boyfriend is a huge Tim Noakes fan, i watched all his evidence from his trial, so i eat 20g of carbs, all my fat is animal based and i think i was eating a little too much protein to start with but now i've cut that in favour of more fatty meat etc...

It's taken a couple of months to see any results weight wise but it's finally working, ironically i researched the diet 18 months ago and my boyfriend stuck to it like glue, i didn't, he's over 5st lighter i'm not... i just got so disheartened the first time round, and also i had my first ME...

Firstly, full disclosure, i'm not Diabetic...yet, So why am i here, you may well ask. I had gestational diabetes, i ended up being induced because the clone was getting too big. (that was a long time ago, clone is now a huge 6.4 15yr old) I'm morbidly obese and middle aged, and crippled with...
