    The Big Carb Clearout #1 The Fridge

    Following all the fab advice and feedback I got yesterday, the big carb clearout has commenced. Starting with the fridge. Any and all feedback warmly welcomed and gratefully received! NB a lot of the sweeter stuff like jams etc have been in there forever. Just not been able to bring myself to...

    Thank you for this. The help I’ve had already has been tremendous. Am so glad I found this forum. Am in the middle of my carb clearout. New post to follow x

    Bless you. What a battle you’ve had to fight too and an inspiration to people like me. I was once told an Army saying: no plan survives contact with the enemy. Clearly I’ve had a **** plan. This is all brilliant to help me with a new plan. This enemy of mine will be captured and if possible...

    I’m also in for parties. Even if I’m not celebrating anything just yet

    That’s a great tip. Thanks. So important to have good insight on what to expect and to be able to credibly critique what I’m being told by the medics

    I’ll do that. Thanks. The tracker I was previously using is not LCHF friendly at all.

    I already agree. I was completely flailing and had no idea how to even inch forward but everyone’s willingness has genuinely made a difference to how I feel today. Thank you [emoji1374]

    Can’t tell you how much I appreciate your kind and encouraging words. Though you may yet regret saying that. I’ll be relentless til I’ve got this under control lol x

    Thanks everyone for being so generous with your time, thoughtfulness and advice. I really appreciate it and for the first time in as long as I can remember I’ve just bought cream, butter AND cheese

    Best not tell me where you live otherwise I’ll be knocking on the door. A few years ago I celebrated losing a stone by having a cheese party. It was one of the best nights of my life [emoji23]

    This is a list of gorgeousness I’ve been denying myself for years. Apart from the erith thing. I have no clue what that is. And yes, not only do I clearly need the help, I’m very willing to accept it too. My body is and continues to be the single biggest disappointment in my life. I’ve been...

    Thank you. Good to know what has been working for others. Diabetes won’t tempt me back to eating meat, but it’s manna from heaven that cheese is back on the menu. I genuinely went through a period of grief when I had to stop eating it cos of my high cholesterol. I might just have a cheese...

    I’m not averse to fasting. Have tried it a few times over the years. Though the short term gains were obliterated, probably because I then followed up with staying low fat high carb [emoji36]

    This is really good to know and gives me hope as I’ve essentially been doing the same. Thank you [emoji1374]

    I’m seeing the nurse on Friday so will add this to my list. Poor woman isn’t going to know what’s hit her [emoji23]

    Good tips. I love all of these. I will also have to ditch being the queen of toast based meals. Living solo means I’d perfected quite the repertoire over the years. Binning bread is going to be killer
