Also, can I ask what kind of weight gain did people experience during the refeed phase? I'm expecting to put on, but i'm hopeful of keeping it to around half a stone...before my body evens out and i get back to trying to lose through 'normal' food calorie deficits... is this reasonable or have...

I tried the juicing (used a philips juicer) but tbh, the cost was just too much (the amount of veg needed to make enough juice) Now use a nutri ninja plus, I think it's probably better to use a blender type machine as you retain the fibre...and that is really important imo my trouble is...

you know, i've never even thought to take pain killers during bouts of neuropathy pain, good idea and glad it is relieving the pain. I will try myself if/when it kicks off again...of course though, if looking after yourself provides improvements, then that would be the better course...but we...

mfp is superb, especially so when teamed up with a fitness tracking app e.g. myrunkeeper (iirc)...all data collated onto mfp

i have had intermittent n sometimes pretty bad neuropathy in my feet...It doesn't necessarily eradicate it, but I notice, if I clean diet up, nothing manufactured, just meat, veg, fish etc that it tends to go away for the most part...although i can still get very short lasting stabbing pains...

these are more commonly known as miracle noodles...they have zero taste, have a fishy smell that is removed by rinsing, a strange very al dente texture and absorb the flavours of what you cook them with. Fantastic as it is basically 100% fibre, very good for you and your blood sugars and any...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02ddsd9 this series (amongst others) highlights why the idea that overweight folk are just lazy food shovellers is perpetuated by the lazy and thought deficient Simplistic ideas, for simplistic folks i suppose

Hi Fraddycat, thank you, yes 6.3 blew me away, I am used to seeing 7's and 8's now but to get it down to a low 6 was awesome. I will sound like I am never satisifed but I would like to see it in the 4's and 5's but maybe as I drop more weight that will come. Speaking of which I lost 5.5 lb this...

i am ecstatic, numbers are not too far away from normal levels (post meal numbers anyway) so can finally see some results. couple of weeks time i might have normal pre-meal numbers...fingers crossed. Thanks again, I know I keep saying it but it is really cool you keep saying well done and...

Hi, good luck with the weight loss, I just want to ask though if you have explored other things with your doctor such as lipotrim, or even investigated other vlcd's such as the newcastle study diet? I don't have anything against surgery or those who wan't it, but just felt I should ask about...

Hi Defren, thanks for the support, it feels a pretty lonely place where i am at the moment so its nice to come here and share kinda thing and know everyone knows what you're going through and can relate etc. Pre-diagnosis (with the constant thirst thing) I was on bottles of water which I...

Hi Catza, Thanks for that, have been trying to have lots of water but the amount has definitely tailed off the last few days... still ONLY drinking water, but definitely probable it's not enough lately. lol I know, I may calm down one day and relax a bit :roll: :lol:
