I have read here about it being referred to as "Metafartin" :oops:

Not quite 3 weeks post ND. Like you @Steve50 , I've found my BG levels have risen since LCHF started, albeit still acceptable. I have managed to lose a little more weight this week so far (2lbs from my best at end of ND) and I go to the GP's tomorrow for my first lot of blood tests since...

Having been prescribed 4 x 500mg of Metformin and 4 x Gliclazide daily, I am now on a significantly reduced Metformin only (1 x 500mg daily) after 8 weeks of Newcastle diet and now LCHF. I am testing regularly to monitor the impact on how various meals affect my BG levels while I am sorting out...

Brunch: 2 egg, bacon, mushroom & spinach fritatta, coffee & cream; Snackette: at the cinema watching Minions with my 7 yr old son - took my own pork scratchings while he munched on Haribos; Dinner: Rib-eye steak, pan-fried onions & mushrooms, side salad with mayo plus 5 chips, strawberries &...

Went to Morecambe yesterday to have the car serviced and called in to my nearest Lidl - swiped the last dozen rolls to freeze :cool:

2 weeks now since I ended ND. Weight has plateaued still (88.2kg) , so no gain - although some more loss would be desireable. My BG are up overall though. Often in the mid to high 5's, even first thing in the morning. Nothing above a 7 after a meal though, so balanced I guess, just not the 4.5's...

There's also the Exante shakes (and bars) that I used. With current offers they work out between 95p & £1 per shake/bar.

Hi @Steve50 Only this morning my wife & I were discussing the potential benefits of adopting more of a 5:2 pattern of eating for the longer-term. I'll stick with LCHF a little longer (blood tests booked for next week with adoctor's review a week after that - the first since I started on this...

B: Greek yoghurt, 3 strawberries & few almond flakes, coffee & cream; L: 1/2 buttered Lidl roll with slice of ham, coffee & cream; D: Gammon with cauliflower & leeks in cheese sauce, strawberries & cream; S: Cheese & 2 buttered low-carb crackers, coffee & cream. 2 1/2 litres of water throughout...

I'd echo the above comments ... the posts will certainy give an indication of what lies ahead if you follow the ND by whatever method - plateaus in weight loss, minor short-term setbacks, overall improvements and how, when looking ahead it seems daunting but when looking back, not so bad after all.

I'm a little disappointed after almost 2 weeks on the post - NP phase of LCHF - today my weight is still the same as my best (lowest) after some 1-2kg ups & downs (need to get portion control sorted beter, esp. at weekends), but my BG readings are averaging more too. 5.8 this morning where I was...

Great results and the same sort as I achieved too...it's a great morale boost when you start to doubt if you can stick it out.

I have an opposite experience. I can usually get in to my surgery the same day if I see any GP, my own GP within 3-4 days depending on when in the week I check. Phlebotomist is within a week, same for practice nurse appointments. My surgery also uses the Patient Access system where I can...
