Hi well done on your weight loss. I do a fairly gentle Pilates class most of us are 50++ and then practise the core exercises at home most days dosent take long and has made a huge difference to my middle alongside the dieting and 2 stone weight loss I have achieved

I take inulin it’s powdered fibre that you mix with water a small amount and it’s tastless you can add to a hot drink and not know it’s there but it does the job! I also sometimes mix flaxseed with cream to thicken a casserole hope this helps I’m on very low carb but these work mind you it may...

I’ll ask thank you for your advice and support

Thank you I did and will check but can’t see the option when log in but will raise the question sounds like a really good move forward only way we’ll ever improve our own health conditions is with knowledge so we can make informed choices and decisions

Thanks for tip will do but last time I tried to get from receptionist after nearly a week they made me go away and come back once dr had had a chance to review them! Only gp surgery in town so not an option to change. It’s a 6 monthly although will be 7 and a half months since previous full...

Not Friday but was busy on the day! But kept record and was 66kg - a 1 kg loss on the 67kg last weeks weight achievement so moving more comfortably into BMI ‘healthy’ range. I’m now intermittent fasting on two days a week alongside my lCHF way of eating just adding a bit of cream to my coffee...

I was keen on fasting but concerned about taking Metformin at the same time as it was causing more digestive disturbances and my blood meter readings were going lower at 4.7 to 5.2 I really enjoyed the fasting once I stopped Metformin and meter readings went up nearer 5.2 to 5.5 I loved...

Thank you very much your info is really helpful think I’m finding stress and exercise seem to be having the biggest effects on my blood glucose rather than food at moment

I initially lost weight on Metformin when put on over 2 years ago but then started gaining again last year despite the digestive issues! I’ve found it easier to lose weight in last month since I’ve been off the Metformin I wasn't keen on doing intermittent fasting whilst on Metformin and so...
