Your guy's legs ever feel tight leg muscles after like 8 days of intermittent fasting? Like the entire legs on both sides are tightened up. I'm not burning muscle right? I weigh in high 20's (stone) and eat lots of protein but only in a 6 hour window. I read to get some Magnesium and have been...

Glad your numbers are coming down! I have been reading stuff that artificial sweetners causes increase in insulin. So I quit consuming them about 4 days ago. I missed them for the first two days, not so much now :) Can't believe I just lost another 1.2 pounds (.09 stone) since yesterday.

Wow those crackers do look delicious and low carb :) Gonna try them thanks! By the way, I was losing like 3 pounds a week on 2600 calories a day but then switched to 2000 calories a day but only eating 2 meals a day in 6 hour window and weight is just pouring off. The long breaks from eating...

Down to 384.2 lbs (27.44 stone). Six pounds lost since last update. Losing about 1 pound (.07 stone) per day for past 8 days or so. May 9th I weighed 422 (30.14 stone), so down 38 pounds (2.71 stone). Weighed 447 (31.93 stone) a few months back, down 63 pounds (4.5 stone) since then.

Debbie, Thanks for the complement. Are you type 1 or type 2? You don't look like you need to lose any weight from the photo -- look very thin.. I'm 385 lbs (like 28 stone) .

Debbie, Well I eat any combination of things really. In no particular order: VEGGIES: Anything above ground, non-starchy, and usually green. I try to eat a good amount of vegetables each day. I steam for 7 minutes, salt and slather with butter the following: broccoli, asparagus, green...

Yes, I log everything in detail in the iPhone app called MyNetDiary. I log caloric intake along with grams of total carbs, net carbs, protein, fiber. Also I log blood sugar test results. And any insulin injections I did (don't do them now though). Also I log my blood pressure and pulse rate...

Awesome, hang in there, sometimes it takes months to come down to normal. It's making progress which is the awesome thing right? We are REVERSING diabetes.. not curing it.. but sending it in the other direction at least! :)

Here is a graph showing weight loss on LCHF diet and then LCHF diet + Intermittent fasting. (Using Dr. Jason Fung's intermittent fasting advice.) Notice the weight loss slope is more steep with the intermittent fasting combined with LCHF. I fast for 18 hours, eating all my food for the day...

Breakfast 2:15 PM (breaking 18 hour fast): ham, cream cheese & minced green olive roll ups, walnuts, blueberries

ham slices :) thin. Been eating these roll ups every day for past few days.. so delish! I also roll up thinly sliced roast beef with cream cheese & mince green olives in it! yum yum

Wow, how often do you do your laundry? Giggle.

Congrats on weight loss! I only buy like 1 pair of pants (I wear jeans all the time) when losing weight.. You're right it can get so expensive! Hey the thrift store is a good option! You can get nice used pairs of pants in new condition (dress or jeans) for like $5 or like 4 quid. At least...

Ham, cream cheese & pickle roll ups:

I used to eat bags of chips in one setting, ice cream, snack crackers, lots of sandwiches, on and on.. morbidly obese at over 400 pounds. So yeah I loved me some carbs! Majorly addicted. But since I have been on a low carb very high fat diet (70% of diet is fat) it's working wonders for me...

Update: Down to 390 pounds (27.86 stone) 32 pounds (2.2 stone) lost since I started LCHF on May 9th No longer injecting any insulin. (Worst was 120 units per day.) Average blood sugar: 120 mg/dL (6.7 mmol/L) down from A1C of 8.6 on May 9th. (Worst A1C was in fall of last year, an...

Yep, I am continually trying to improve it so my insulin resistance goes down as fast as possible. For example, I quit all artificial sweetners yesterday including stevia. I read they all raise insulin levels right when they hit the recepter on the tongue. Want my insulin level as low as...

Your A1C looks pretty good! Hang in there! I am sure over time they will come down. You are keeping your insulin levels as low as possible for over 20 hours every day.. that's just gotta help! Sometimes it takes time.. months even, but you'll get there. It's probably going to take me many...

I've heard artificial sweetners, including stevia, once they hit the tongue, they activate a receptor which immediately tells the body to produce insulin to cover the perceived load of incoming sugar. This can result in hunger because the extra sugar never gets to the bloodstream, because we...

Jason Fung says insulin resistance drives obesity.. eating carbs, especially sucrose/fructose, will increase insulin resistance and make you hungry all the time. And want to snack on sugary/starchy stuff all day.. and get fat. I read the linked article above.. and half of what was said doesn't...
