Same for me, lost 12% of body weight, BMI of 20 now, not cured, but steady BG on low carb diet.

5.6 @ 5.45am & 6.45am?? Hmmm, usually goes up, the later I measure my FBG. Must have done something right!!

Hi, That's fine. I'm a personality that doesn't really like following strict rules, so I'm taking the best from a few diets :) Basically I go with what keeps my blood sugar low, fills me up and is fairly healthy. At the moment I'm on low to medium carbs. I have oats + oatbran w/fullfat milk and...

5.8 Had a around 6.3- 6-5 all Easter because I've been eating at odd times. Seems like my FBG is higher if I'm hungry when I go to bed or wake up hungry. Anyone experienced this? Maybe my liver thinks I'm starving and wants to help ;) Every time I eat heaps, low carb, and feel really full at...

Come to my place :) We've had 30C all summer from December. I'm happy I'm living on the other side of the world after growing up in the cold Scandinavia :D

I know, that's the thing. Even Scientists can't agree. High cholesterol 'does not cause heart disease' new research finds, so treating with statins a 'waste of time' Cholesterol does not cause heart disease in the elderly and trying to reduce it with drugs like statins is a waste of time, an...

Yes, everyone has the right to chose. When diagnosed I looked all over the net for a way to reverse my prediabetes. I tried curcumin tablets, Apple Cider Vinegar, Probiotics, herbal teas, which all cost a fair amount of money. Then I came across some people claiming to have reversed diabetes by...

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/behindtheheadlines/news/2016-06-13-study-says-theres-no-link-between-cholesterol-and-heart-disease/ You can find anything you want on the net, but is it scientifically proven? I bet I can find as many sites saying cholesterol is safe as you can find the...

Hi, You really have to make up your own mind about fat. Do you believe what everybody says, like the earth is flat as a pancake, or what science says but hasn't caught on yet with mainstream society, the world is round as a ball?. The only way is to research, google, read books and then decide...

This is from Amazons Page about the Low Carb High Fat Food revolution. If you read the book you will be wondering if everything you were taught is false. I believe in science and if it's not proven scientifically that cholesterol will kill you, and that the research that proves it's dangerous is...

That's right, I started off eating low carb, low fat as I was worried about eating fat. I did lose weight fast, but it was not a diet I could have sustained over a longer period of time. I just kept losing weight and couldn't stop the weight loss until I added more fat. I started using actual...

It should be on Amazon, the title is: Low carb High fat food revolution. I bought mine from Mighty Ape NZ but I think they're sold out :)

I think they thought insulin was a modern wonder drug and people should be allowed to eat as "normal" as possible. Hence the diabetes diets recommended now..

Yes, it's a lovely old book, I just had to download and save the whole thing ;) I would like to try some of the recipes. I've googled Casoid flour and some people reckon it's similar to Casein protein powder? Most has no idea what it is! As far as I can see the Aleurone flour is made from the...

Thanks, have to look at this one as well!

Might be a bit nerdy, but as a book lover I just loved this old cooking book from 1917. It's definitely worth a look. Find out how to make milk from cream and which food NOT to eat if you have diabetes, this was way before insulin!! The first genetically engineered, synthetic “human” insulin...

Hi Tracy and Welcome, I was fairly slim as well, but got diagnosed with prediabetes November last year. When you start the low carb diet you probably will loose some weight, it's almost impossible not to. If you don't want to lose too much weight make sure you have lovely mushroom sauce and lots...

Love the Photo :)

Just finished reading "The Food Revolution" by Dr Andreas Eenfeldt MD, aka Diet Doctor. It was really good. I grew up in the 70s and believed from an early age that fat is BAD, Cholesterol is BAD, low fat very good and high cholesterol something to avoid. Now I know there's NO scientific reason...

Hi and welcome, I was diagnosed prediabetic November last year. I started by cutting out carbs, as suggested by others. Very efficient, both for weight loss and for getting your BG down. I'm on a BMI of 20 now, and feel like I now know, what I can or can't eat. I think the 8 week blood sugar...
