That's awesome, well done!! I have been low carbing for 3 months and only managed to get down to 6.3. I am hopeful that next time I will get below 6 and I take inspiration from you and many others like you who are doing so well!

And to top it all she has agreed to start 'officially' reducing my medication. I have un-officially done without the one she has dropped today for 10 weeks and still obtained that result, she has also reduced my BP medication as well (BP down to an average of 110/75)
All I have done is reduce the carbs that give me the highest sugar hit and reduced my general intake and have managed to lose 32lb into the bargain and not stopping yet.

Never a truer word spoken, sometimes it isn't even a tupperware box we are looking for, often something the size of a Test Strip container. Great fun is had by all 8)
