Hi everyone. I am new to this forum, I have just been told that I am prediabetic and also have liver function problems. Doc obviously recommends losing some weight, ideally about a stone and half and I have been signed up for the NHS diabetes prevention course but it hasn't started yet. I have watched some of the videos and made a start, or so I thought, it recommends 120-150g of carbs a day, is that net carbs? Anyway in 10 days I have had no pasta, rice or bread and only a very small amount of potato with a roast. I have stopped eating most fruit except berries, swapped 0% yogurt for full fat, started cooking in oil and having nuts instead of cereal bars or choc. I have eaten more veg and salad and I have gained about 3lbs! Obviously not happy and to make it worse my husband who has been doing this for 5 days has lost 5lbs! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
