    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Yes, I think certainly it is quite easy to grab something carby than not, we are surrounded by it. def spurs on a want in me if I don't start as I mean to go on - so I think I'll try to simplify things by starting well. Yesterday and today I've not even felt a twinge. Must be far more difficult...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Thank you for the support and advice, noted :0) Although my numbers were far better this last HbA1c (45), I've gotten far too heavy in the last few years and its started to cause problems and bother me, for one example, maybe not a coincidence is that two days ago my foot ballooned after over...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Day one of not eating anything too carby yesterday and my chronic stuffy nose has cleared up, was so tired yesterday I managed to have a 4 hour kip in the afternoon and also sleep through the night, which was the best nights sleep in a while. Feel I can breathe again, the dry mouth at night I've...

    Have you been told not to test your blood sugars?

    Yeah, I recently saw a dietician that gave me links to pizza, sandwiches and deserts. I should really get a thing for testing though I like many here was told not to bother. I just ate a few crispbreads with hummus forgetting the crispbreads are pretty high in carbs. having a lot less carbs...

    Happy to jump across to one of @Oldvatrs threads or make one of our own :) Could be possible @KeithAnd, am I right in thinking you are now on day 10? (to bring the subject back to your good self.) How are you getting on with it all?

    Newcastle Diet day 1 !!

    My understanding is among the other rot-gut there wasn't any HFCS in UK Coca-Cola Happy to admit my knowledge may be out of date though. Reading Would be interesting to see that study repeated with UK beverages

    I don't know much about this game but you know there were quite a fair few times when I ate lots of carbs a day before or in the morning and didn't eat for some time where I felt like what I think people describe a hypo to be. I was almost out of nowhere, quite quickly clammy, with cold sweats...

    Newcastle Diet day 1 !!

    Yes, that's correct, the mind boggles. I thought maybe this, that it could have taken a very long time to get where I was at, did a "reset" and then I'm slowly getting back that way but not yet there again, but from what I read about a "personal fat threshold" I'd have imagined, that I'd have...

    International agreement on Remission

    Interesting, my partner (a RN) said yesterday in response to me reading bits of that thread to her that she thought that in practise it had been this way for quite a while now, Admittedly I didn't look anything up to verify that. I know the dietician I spoke with in the last few days said that...

    Newcastle Diet day 1 !!

    Thank you for your reply I WAS splurging on processed carbs between 2017-2022 again knowing full well they were no good for me in excess, often splurging too many at points, If I avoided them weight would seem to fall off without trying. (I think maybe I gave up trying for a bit.) and the...

    Newcastle Diet day 1 !!

    Hi MrsA2 I apologise in advance to @KeithAnd if this is hijacking the thread, and am more than happy to take it elsewhere or have it moved if needed or they are unhappy with the off topic/cross posting as its become a bit of a 'last few years of my life story' + cathartic essay :dead: I'm...

    I kinda lost control this Xmas

    Oh that's pertinent for me right now I reckon cause I easily lost a ton of weight I got a little cocky and started slowly thinking its not so bad if I do this a little (like some balding people end up with a combover) putting it back on again. My thinking is if I am aware of this fact it will...

    Newcastle Diet day 1 !!

    Thanks, Likewise to you! thought I'd share some of my experience which has more to do with being me than anything else. I'll learn from those experiences and of course the book wasn't out when I first cobbled together my 'own' version of the ND (from a presentation the Professor did), but have...

    Newcastle Diet day 1 !!

    Yeah, I went a bit crackers after doing it in 2016 - I lost around 4 stone so "just a little xxx won't hurt" I've put all that and more back on since. BUT that was cause I got cocky with it and thought I could take the mick and lose it again easily if needed. Do not let this discourage you...

    Don't involve yourself in the blame game.

    Yeah I felt bad, well I made myself feel that way after seeing the nurse back in 2016, "you look like someone who isn't looking after themselves" she said, lose weight, "stop at one biscuit don't eat the pack" she said. Okay, fair enough. I did that at the time and felt a lot better in myself...
