Thanks for tagging me @shelley262. I'd be up for a meet up if I was free to come on the date proposed. :)

Wow @geefull - bloomin amazing - hats off to you!

Amazing - well done you!

Aww thanks @shelley262 - I came across the 'before' photo the other day and was quite shocked looking at it again - I still have more weight to lose and so it was nice to see what change has already taken place. I think we can look younger not just because of weight loss but because the quality...

Thanks @Guzzler! I forgot to put about the other 'success' that has happened after changing to low carb - my chronic hayfever which I usually suffer from very badly each June - and have done so for nearly 30 years - is MUCH better this year, not gone, but much improved. I'm pretty sure it's due...

Well I've finally plucked up enough courage to post a couple of pics - one taken in 2017 at my heaviest and the other taken yesterday.

Thank you so much - these have been fascinating to read, and heartening!

Thanks, that's good to know I'm not the only one this happens to! How interesting that bouncy could be better - I'm trying to think of an easy way of googling the studies you mention - maybe, two blood sugar rises after meal? I will see what I can find.

Having had great success with the 8 week blood sugar diet and then low carbing my weight loss has stalled over the last couple of months, so although I've dabbled with 16/8 fasting, I recently read Dr Jason Fung's Complete Guide To Fasting and this clarified for me that I needed to add in OMAD a...

If he really does believe it he has completely missed the point of why fasting worked for him. Hey ho.

I actually wonder how much he believes it and how much he uses it, as I suspect Michael Mosley may do, as a way of getting people to buy into the diet more as it's such a well-known method. Or because it's an easy way to put a limit on how much people are consuming each day. He mentions...

I enjoyed this overall but disagreed with the bit at the end about wholegrain bread - 99% of bread consumed by me for years was wholemeal/wholegrain and I still think it contributed to a large part of the carbs I consumed. I found it fascinating on further research after the programme about...

I know what you mean, it has a slightly rubbery texture for want of a better word. But I still love it! Bread seems to be for me like cigarettes are to others, just utterly addictive.

In my opinion LivLife low carb bread is a much cheaper and better option - having said that I've stopped buying it as it triggered carb cravings in me and I ate too much of it!

6.2 this morning, now away for the weekend, have a lovely bank holiday everyone!
