I didn't lose anything being on Metformin, so not sure, I wish it did though!

Happy to report that I had a 3 pound loss this week (despite a couple of hot cross buns and a few glasses of cider!) so all is well and back on track....onwards and upwards! :) Thanks

I'm lucky, I can eat porridge too, on my non fasting days, I make it with water and frozen add blueberries and raspberries, they soon thaw in the warm mixture, it doesn't cause me to spike and keeps hunger at bay until lunchtime x

Hi, thanks everyone. On my non fasting days I follow a LCHF diet, rarely eat over my daily allowance. I think I might try the 4:3 the next 2 weeks while off work, (I break up from school this week) and it will be easier while at home as I keep myself busy and have a long 'jobs list!' and I won't...

Has anybody else got a similar experience? I started 5:2 in January and was steadily losing a pound each week, however, for the last 3 weeks my weight has maintained, I haven't taken any measurements yet as I only do these every 4 weeks, but I really seem to have hit a plateau. I have tried...

I enjoy a few drinks now and then too, wine, cider, Gin & slim line tonic or even a couple of cocktails and had no problems, I also ensure that I eat either just before or while I'm drinking alcohol though. x

If he is eating 'loads' of cheese, that could be it, cheese has no carbs but is full of fat, eating a LCHF diet does say not to eat too much cheese though because of the calorie content, might be worth looking at portion control too. Hope this helps and he gets back on track, well done in...

That is so sad, I didn't know Soo2 but sending my love and thoughts to her family xxxx

really well thanks, I can't believe how well I feel, have now started speed walking on my fast days, plus 1 other a week, and feel really energized!

I have to admit, my husband was a bit hesitant when I said about doing the 5:2, worried about my sugar levels etc. I could understand his concern, until I got him to watch the Horizon programme with Michael Moseley and also after promising to always have some food with me in case I feel...

My local Lidl staff are great like that too, after I explained that they were great for diabetics, and if I ask them to save me half a dozen, they happily do! :)

Thank you, I suppose I'd better read the leaflet in the box when I get home from work then! :)

I am currently doing the 5:2 fast diet, quite successfully and having a steady weight loss of 1 pound each week. I have been taking my Metformin (1 x 500mg) 1 with breakfast and 1 with evening meal, but have just read that I shouldn't be taking it on fast days, is this true??? Has anybody else...

we have a Lidl on our doorstep so I regularly pop in for these rolls, I love them toasted with either peanut butter (if I want a sweet fix) or toasted with cheese melted under the grill - yummy :happy:

I usually eat breakfast around 7.30am, lunch (if I'm hungry) around 1pm, then evening meal (again if I'm hungry) around 5.30pm, I don't eat after that time, but that is the same all week (except weekends), fasting on non-consecutive days, Monday and Wednesday suit me after the weekend.

and the Bistro in Corrie........ about as big as my living room but has loads of staff always working there! mmm really :wacky:

Three years ago I had open heart surgery, my diabetes was managed very well and my diet was taken into consideration a great deal. I was in the QE in Birmingham for 7 weeks and have to say, I was very well looked after, particularly my dietary needs. :)
