    Cataract Treatment Guidance

    I had both eyes done a couple of years ago over a few months. Developed secondry so had lazer treatment a few months ago perfect now. Distance is great but need a very weak prescription for glasses for the middle distance now: Looking around the supermarket and watching TV. Also still need...

    LCHF isn't working.

    Ok, so I've been back on the HFLC diet for 10 days now. Energy levels are getting a bit lower but my legs aren't aching again yet. My weight looks as if it's gone up again when I look in the mirror, ( I never weigh myself). No Idea how much but I can see a difference now. So I must have been...

    LCHF isn't working.

    I've had over a week on a 'normal' diet and it worked straight away as far as energy levels and my aching legs were concerned. But my Blood Glucose level; has gone way up to 11.7 the last time I measured it 2 hours after a meal. It was averaging around 7.5 when on the diet. So it looks like I...

    LCHF isn't working.

    Had enough after today. Back on to my normal diet starting tomorrow. I have to find out if I can have more energy and less aching legs, with 'normal' food. If I see no change after a few weeks I might give it another go.

    totally at a loss

    I think 8 weeks is long enough. I can't stand not having enough energy and the aching legs anymore. Beginning to think it's a big con. The only way you can lose weight is if you starve yourself which you shouldn't have to do on this diet.

    totally at a loss

    No, its like I've ran a few miles without the training before hand. Climbing stairs or peddaling my bike are terrible. It's been like this since I've been on LCHF and I'm sick of it, so today was the last day for me. I've given it 8 weeks but have seen no weight loss whatsoever. Going back to...

    totally at a loss

    Been doing that for 8 weeks now; not lost an ounce yet. My legs are aching all the time which could be due to higher chilesterol and lower blood flow. Am now deciding whether to carry on with the LCHF diet or return to my 'normal' diet to see if things improve.

    LCHF isn't working.

    What is that exactly? What are you eating? Lifestyle? Exercise?

    LCHF isn't working.

    That's my way of thinking; maybe too much protein? Borrowed the Carbs and Cals book from the Library the other day. Might be able to figure something out from that. I seem to have a bit more energy the last few days. So I at leaste have something positive for a change. I couldn't see myself...

    LCHF isn't working.

    I don't think I can eat much more fat at the moment. Changed to Double Cream now in my tea and also consume some from the container straight.Plenty of Bacon and Eggs. Belly Pork and Chicken Thighs Cheese. Also just got the results of my Bowel Cancer screening, ( the second test). Confirms...

    LCHF isn't working.

    Decided to try and get more fat into my diet by drinking double cream. It seems like the only thing I haven't tried. 2 more weeks then I'll know.

    LCHF isn't working.

    Thanks for that. I don't want to give up on the diet. I just need a little bit of encouragement from all the big changes I've made to my eating habits. Just a few pounds in weight loss is all it would take and it would give me the motivation to carry on with things and get even more determined...

    LCHF isn't working.

    Ok so I'll start doing more testing late at night. But I don't see what more I can do as far as my diet is concerened. If I eat any less I may as well be on a low fat low calorie diet from the 70s. Done that many times and it doesn't work long term. After watching Fong's video's and reading...

    LCHF isn't working.

    I've seen plenty of video's of people saying they eat 4 eggs every morning. So called 'doctors'. If my body hasn't ajusted to burning fat, I need a few calories in the tank befor I go swimming.

    LCHF isn't working.

    I promised I'd give it 2 months. I have just over 16 days to go. My BG is averaging around 7.5 I've also been fasting for 2 days per week, (24 hours if I can manage it or at least 18 hours.) I don't weigh myself but I feel and appear not to have shed an ounce. My energy is low no matter what I...

    Do you ever walk around the supermarket looking in peoples trollys?

    I wouldn't mind a stranger asking why I was buying what I had in my trolly to be honest. I'd be glad of the opportunity to explain things and also get the chance to give then some useful information that could help them further down the road. Like Tony Blair once said, "Education, Education...
