This is very interesting thread. I have tried to follow the low carb diet on here but my problem is that I don't eat a lot of foods that are allowed. I followed diet advice for low fat diet for many years (by a well known company) and I think that has something to do with the situation I am in now. Things I don't eat are chicken, turkey, all type of bird at all, fish of any type, avocado and don't go overboard on fresh fruit and vegetables. I use crackers or high fibre/low GI bread and try to keep off scones etc. I allow myself 2 squares of 70% cocoa chocolate if the notion for something sweet hits in the evening. I have under active thyroid and high blood pressure controlled by medication. I just can't get any weight off although my waist has gone down 4 inches which I am pleased about. Any ideas for meals would be gratefully received as it is 'wearing' me down,
