    Confused and in need of guidance

    That's OK. It is not something that I can see myself ever doing. I am finding a 16:8 way of life is suiting me so far. There is a lot of head changes for me at the moment. Not eating breakfast Eating Fats Not eating grains etc Cutting out sugar I was / am sugar addicted. It seems to be...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

    I woke to a 5.8 this morning. @HarrisonK Thank you for a shiny new thread. I am quite new on here but have enjoyed reading what people get up to. I survived the trip to work yesterday and I managed to repeat the process again today. When did bike seats get so uncomfortable? I still have a fair...

    Confused and in need of guidance

    I have managed to miss breakfast each day so far this week (starting Saturday) I am really amazed how easy it is not to eat until about 1pm. I eat again about 6. I am trying to reduce carbs to 25 to 30g. I am still struggling with the concept of high fat intake. It takes a while to in learn all...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    5.1 when I got up half an hour ago. Decided yesterday that I would cycle to work so dug the bike out from under the rubbish and boxes dumped in the garage, dusted it off - literally and spent another hour checking it over pumping up the tyres and then searching for the helmet. It is much cooler...

    A nice round 5 this am. Not as sunny here more hazy this morning. I will still spend some quality time weeding, and restoring the holes in the lawn that the dogs dug on Saturday. Take care all.

    Confused and in need of guidance

    Have also now had a coffee, 2 pints of water. I do sometimes fail in my water intake but am trying harder with it. I used to drink at least 7 mugs of coffee and glasses of diet coke but am down to one coffee in a morning now and I get fed up of water so don't bother with anything. I have...

    Confused and in need of guidance

    I am not ready to go to one meal a day. I have to do it slowly or I will fail. I have realised the error of my ways re low fat. I find LCHF to be an easy way of eating. It fits with my food likes. I will confess to being a sugar addict and have cut sugar from my diet totally and did it over...

    Confused and in need of guidance

    I am not sure your thanks are really warranted. I lost the weight when I was first diagnosed 6+ years ago with low fat eating but could not keep it off and now find myself on medication with the weight to shed all over again. I do feel though that this time the LCHF lifestyle is sustainable. I...

    Confused and in need of guidance

    Thank you. I struggle with cold water first thing in the morning so the ability to have coffee is a relief. I think that I will at give it a go over the next week and see if I can do it.

    Confused and in need of guidance

    I have recently discovered the LCHF lifestyle and so far have lost 1.5 stones. I need to shift another 2.5 to 3. I have read various things on here and other parts of the web about 16:8 fasting. I am unsure if you can drink during the 16 fast hours or not. I am happy since starting this new way...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    5.2 for me. A good night's sleep (no migraines). Spent some of yesterday in the sunshine weeding the garden ready to plant veg plants when I am sure the frost has passed, here in N W England that can be as late as mid May. This low carb game is effective but some what expensive. I spent...

    5.3 at 5 when I woke with a migraine. Hopefully it will clear so I can enjoy some time in the garden.

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    4.9 this morning. I expected it to be lower as I had an unplanned, unexpected 16 hour fast yesterday. Life took an unexpected very busy turn. I will say that I was not hungry until I got up at 2 for the toilet but couldn't be bothered to eat at that time. Better go and eat now as it may be the...

    Good morning. Another 5.2 this morning. @Chronicle_Cat Amazing picture. Your weight loss journey is very inspirational. It really shows what is achievable on low carb. @Krystyna23040 Glad to hear your dog is on the mend. They are a constant source of worry but bring so much joy too...

    A nice round 5.0 here. Busy day ahead for me VAT return and figures for a finance meeting. At least there are a couple of Bank holidays on the horizon. Take care all.

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    4.8 for me when I arose at 5.30. Came down for a cup of tea to find one of my dogs had returned a pile of plastic bits that he had knawed off a plastic chew toy he had for his birthday on Thursday. It is a lovely sunny morning here although rather cold. The dogs have been out and finally I have...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    I have 2 labradoodles one of which is very nervous - jumps at his own shadow. I have found that Forest skullcap and valerian drops are excellent. I use half the recommended dose on his food if there is likely to be some unusual happening and it really takes the edge of his anxiety.
