Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all Emily Dickinson I am a month ahead of with diagnosis, I too hoped for a brief bit of healing followed by a return to normal. I learnt that that was not to be but also that...

Like Indiana Jones I have stolen the dogs name, Jack Muddikins is my avatar. A terrible thief and devout carnivore,. Some dogs like carrot sticks, Jack understands that they are poison, he has actually managed to run off with a string of sausages like a cartoon dog. I bought a book from a...

Evening Yorkshirelad27 Finding the right advice is difficult with half the internet desperate for you to eat carbs. Fortunately for you you came to the right place. So did I. My opening thread and story is just below yours. What I have learnt already has changed my life immeasurably for the...

You are absolutely in the right place. I arrived here in October more than a bit broken to be honest but am now healing quickly and full of bounce. Deep breath, dive in, and let some of the pioneers show you the options until you find your own way. For me it is lchf\keto, I am a very happy convert.

Just have to agree with everyone else. Having recently finished losing weight through a lchf\keto diet of about 500 cals where I lost just over 4 stone. I have now shifted into trying to maintain the gain with the same diet just burning a bit more dietry fat than my own for a change. During the...

Awesome. Hat trick coming up for you.

You are in the right place. I had my heart attack about 4 years ago and my T2 diagnosis last October. During my cardiac rehab they heavily plugged the Eatwell plate with all its carbs and low fat and lacking anything else to go on I adopted it willingly and with zeal of a chap doing the right...

The low carb diet is a personal revelation. It seemed extremely unlikely that all of the claims being made about it could be true, I mean, not hungry? Not having to count or worry about calories? Better energy levels? Etc. I allowed for some license in the reports but could see why it would be...

Ah but you did:shy:. It was your thread looking at why people test that stopped me from slowly but steadily reintroducing carbs simply because I could and made me ask myself why I would want to do that. Answer, I don't. It is now obvious to me that that would not have suited me at all and I...

Thank you Briped, oh yes, the guilt has well and truly gone, as has a brief bit of feeling ashamed and a reluctance to tell people. I do need to stay here for the top up, common sense injection that this forum provides. I am very aware of how early this is in my journey and just because I am...

I was guilty of blaming myself but now I am starting to get angry about it. I was told to eat the Eatwell plate, except it's death on a stick for me and that isn't my fault. I was briefly ashamed of my diagnosis but now I tell everybody because the general level of understanding is pitiful, and...

Thank you for your kind words. I have never felt like an inspiration, I mainly felt guilty. Hopefully you will be right though. One of the people I sent the Newcastle info to years ago never actually did anything about it but are now making some serious effort to reduce their carbs and are...

I am not usually a 'forum' joiner but decided that I needed to join this one having been reading and absorbing the life changing information on here if for no other reason than to give the people diagnosed today access to the same sort of fresh personal stories that have helped me. Diagnosed...
