Wow definitely a winner, it's amazing what one can achieve well done and how lovely to feel so happy :happy:

My sister has agoraphobia so I know very well how hard your battle is, well done for getting outside let alone contemplating running a mile!!! Keep going x

Hi Will, I was diagnosed with T2 in Sept '16 and have found that virtually all my friends and family have no idea what it entails especially diet wise. I still get offered cakes, biscuits, sweets etc. or they think it's only sugar I 'can't have' . One friend even proudly offered to make me a...

Hi @johnoo, not sure 5 or 6 pieces of fruit in one go would be a good idea! Try some berries with full fat plain yoghurt, or a little peanut butter on a couple of rough oat biscuits and a small sliced banana. Chopped avocado or cold chicken and mixed salad with lovely olive oil dressing. Smoked...

I've decided to take the statins for 3 months whilst continuing my lchf diet, bit of a compromise but will see how it goes. Have been taking Atorvastatin for 7 days without any physical side effects so far, I have lost my car several times, I have no sense of direction at all so now when I park...
