[brunodog25]

SORRY ALL BUT TO MOST IT MUST SEEEM THAT ALL I DO IS MOAN. YES I AM OBESE 5FT 6 INS AND PRE DIAGNOSIS 3 WEEKS AGO 15 STONE WELL SAY 16 STONES.I DO NOT MIND HAVING TO DO WITHOUT AS I KNOW IF I DO NOT I COULD/WILL KILL ME, THOUGH MY WEIGHT IS MAINLY THE USE OF MEDICAL STEROIDS NO NOT AN EXCUSE.
WHAT REALLY DOES ME IN IS I HAVE A MEAL AND AN HOUR MAYBE LATER AN HOUR AND A HALF LATER I AM HUNGRY AGAIN. I FEEL SORRY FOR THE WIFE AS I KNOW SHE HAS GIVEN THINGS UP TO MAKE ME FEEL THE SAME AND NOT THE ODD ONE OUT BUT SURELY ITS NOT NORMAL TO BE HUNGRY MOST OF THE TIME . BEFORE DIAGNOSIS I WAS SATISFIED ON A LOW FAT DIET NEVER NEEDED SUPPER NOW I DO NEVER ATE MUCH FRUIT NOW I DO ON AN AFTERNOON TO FILL THE GAP LETS HOPE IT GETS BETTER ITS LIKE THESE PEOPLE GIVING UP DRINK OR DRUGS AND GETTING THE SIDE EFFECTS :!:

Hi, do you have a meter? I tend to find that I get hungry once I start eating sugary stuff - it is a viscious circle! If I eat a lot of protein and fat and avoid carbs I don't get hungry - but as soon as I eat a bit of fruit or a christmas chocolate or even bread - I just need more about 20 mins later. If I were you I would check how much fruit you are eating - and replace it with greek yogurt or coffee with cream in or bacon and eggs!! BUT, you do need to test yourself and figure out what works for you rather than take my word for it - Good luck

I would try just cutting down the carbs. Not cutting them out completely. I was 18 stone two years ago. I cannot cook myself a meal I have M.E. and literally do not have the energy to prepare food. Bread, pasta, potatoes are normally the main culprits. Whilst I was waiting for my blood results I put myself through a detox diet, and found I was allergic to quite a few things, so for me cutting out bread, and pasta was fairly easy as I have a problem with both wheat and yeast. I am also intolerant to eggs and have recently omitted them out of my diet.
Anyhow I am now 13 stone 9lbs and my latest HBA1c was 4.3 my GP was shocked as she said it was the fastest turn around she has ever seen, as on diagnosis in October 2012 my fasting blood glucose was 13.7, my cholesterol has improved as well. I was on steroids once and anti-depressants and also pregablin (for the M.E) but not eating much, only starchy carbs to try and regain energy. I still have no energy - so exercise is minimal as I am mainly bed - bound or if I can tolerate sound I am allowed downstairs. But I was taken off them when I threatened to starve myself to death, in desperation to lose the weight.
