    Introduce Yourself: Answer Some Personal Questions

    Hi Jeannie87, you can click on 'home' and then 'diet and recipes' and there will be low carb diet to chose. Otherwise I will recommend diet doctor. It's a really good site for all things low carb. If you go low carb and don't have too much fat you will lose weight for sure. Good Luck...

    pre-diabetes, fasting blood sugars.

    Last day fasting Fbg 6.3 :( Shouldn't have tried a recipe from the 8 week bloodsugar diet for dinner, and swapped green lentils for yellow split lentils.. On the upside I still lost weight 52.2kg :)

    Will 20% weightloss reverse my prediabetes?

    Well, last day of my fast and quest to lose 20% of my pre-diagnosis weight :) Last night was a disaster! Just having acquired the 8 week bloodsugar diet recipe book, I thought, why not try one of the recipes instead of my homemade, low carb low cal fasting diet. Big mistake. I tried something...

    Will 20% weightloss reverse my prediabetes?

    Well, I didn't get the first book, but the follow up with recipes. I think there's some good ones, but they're based on fasting 8 weeks. You can just eat bigger portion if you've already lost the weight you want. It's not completely LCHF but Mediterranean diet, less meat, more fish, olive oil...

    Will 20% weightloss reverse my prediabetes?

    I'm sure you can do it with your own food as well, the results seem promising. I think I'll try 5 days fasting again in a months time and see if my response to carbs will get better :) Thanks for posting :D

    Will 20% weightloss reverse my prediabetes?

    Well, my husband is away for 5 days so saw an opportunity to fast while he's away. Not really planning on doing this longer than 5 days anyway, as I will look anorexic and I am a bit vain :) But I might repeat it a bit later when I've gained some weight again.

    Will 20% weightloss reverse my prediabetes?

    Hi, You've done really well :) I didn't move very much either, the dog was getting older and couldn't walk far, my excuse!! Now I have a new puppy and I walk 30 min, 5 days a week. I'm really too skinny now, but just wanted to see if those beta cells actually can regenerate if you lose all...

    Will 20% weightloss reverse my prediabetes?

    Sort of Michael Mosley's bloodsugar diet/ my own version that is sustainable for me. No BF, salad for lunch, Small stirfry vegies or similar for dinner. Lots of water. I'm really bad at counting calories, just can't do it, but I've got the Bloodsugar diets recipes and they're similar, they just...

    4th day fasting FBG 4.9 weight 52.4 running out of steam. Had early dinner at 5pm and an apple later. Miss my low carb meals, but only one more day to go :)

    Will 20% weightloss reverse my prediabetes?

    Hmm.. any diet that requires you to buy their product turns me right off it, and makes me question the research. I suppose doing it without ProLon, whatever it is, might be just as good??

    In remission, cured? - Not so sure

    Thanks for sharing. I'm also very skeptical if it's actually possible to completely reverse diabetes or if it's more like alcoholism. I can keep the symptoms at bay by not eating carbs and sugar, but will I always be a prediabetic?? That said, I have an open mind and if beta-cell function can be...

    Will 20% weightloss reverse my prediabetes?

    This is very interesting, couldn't actually connect to the site, might be the bad internet connection here, but I'm currently eating a low protein, low sugar (carbs) diet in my fast. I suppose I can repeat this 5-6 times over the next 6 months. Does it say how long the FMD cycles are? Thanks for...
