Superb results and definitely a great incentive for me to carry on for 4 more weeks and then adopt a changed regime after that. It's accounts like yours that show it is possible. Well done & keep it up.

Actually, I've just realised I did my sums wrong and it's only 7.8kgs to reach target...even better :D Thanks for the supportive comments @brettsza. That was my plan with LCHF to take me down to a BMI of just under 25, dropping me from "overweight" to the top end of "normal".

End of week 4. 22lbs (10kgs) lost. BP significantly reduced to regular <120/<75 compared to regular >145/>85 even with medication before starting the ND. BP meds reduced to half after 1 week and now none at all. BG averages have risen a little over the past week (I've increased daily calorie...

5.8 this morning - higher levels recently, but I have reduced the Metformin I guess.

:rolleyes: Yep, all of the above applies in this household too.:facepalm:

From what I've read and experienced myself in the past I am expecting that to be so. In fact I am surprised how the loss is still quite significant currently. I fully expected a slow up after the first two weeks. This week, on the Exante guidance, I am am adding an extra 200 cals or so to 800...

I love one of the comments underneath that article, "In Army basic training 50% of a century ago. The PTI explained that some are ectomorphs, some are mesomorphs etc. I was apparently a lazyfatbastardomorph." :facepalm:

Thanks for that link @Steve50. It does help a little. Using that version my former BMI was 33.2, currently 29.5 and with a 14 stone target it will be 27.4. There's no reason why I can't revise my target weight of 14st down to 12st 11lbs which will take me to 24.9, but my wife says I will look...

No I'm with you both on the same train of thought. In fact I am researching recipes even now to look forward to introducing in another 4 weeks. I'm fortunate inasmuch as I took early retirement from a long-term career at 50, ran another couple of businesses until selling them this time last...

4.9 at bedtime and 4.9 on rising (prompt test within 15 mins of waking)

:rolleyes: I guessed it couldn't be as simple as " my stomach's shrunk". Thanks for the links.

Tested promptly after getting up - 4.9 :)

Great going @Steve50. I jumped off the wagong for a brief time yesterday with the pre-planned afternoon tea at a lovely hotel overlooking Windermere. Had a breakfast shake in the morning then nothing until arriving at the hotel when pre-eating BG was 4.7. Indulged in 4 finger sandwiches and 6...

5.5 this morning. Not bad after yesterday's afternoon tea indulgence.:rolleyes:

I found a distinct taste & consistency improvement when I crushed ice in a blender first before adding and mixing everything in the blender too. Better than just whisking in a bowl, for example.

4.4 at bedtime and 5.8 sitting down to this morning's shake about an hour after getting up.

It is simple...eat 1 pack per meal plus lots of fluid. No weighing, measuring, calorie counting, etc., etc. When I started my wife fancied the 1200 cal per day option, i.e. 3 meal replacements plus a 600 cal "real food" meal for her, so we ordered the 4 week breakfast, luch & dinner pack at £80...

My thoughts exactly.

Great results @Steve50. I think you have a pragmatic and sensible outlook and I like your reasoning. I've just started week 4 following the Exante diet plan. Their advice is 600 calorie 3 meal replacement for a 3 week maximum before introducing a minimum 200 calorie additional food source for...

5.9 this morning sitting down to breakfast shake.
