Hi, I have lost 17lb so far on low carbs but I kinda lose 2lb then add 1 even though all I eat iOS a small bowl of porridge each morning then I eat two salads a day, one with cheese and one with fish for example, I have a small fresh fruit salad after my evening salad, but although the porridge...

Well done on your weight loss, but I worry that the body will go into starvation mode and store anything as fat, would that happen on a fasting diet?

I agree, sometimes it seems like a mountain to climb, where if you do step by step you get there, to do it all in one go is hard and off putting .

Just want to say, I love this forum, to be able to come on here and chat about stuff has really helped me, I was hitting despair when told I have diabetes, I was always slim when young up to the age of 40 then 5stone decided to "hit" me! I tried diets and couldn't get on with them and just...

Thanks for your reply, I took a look at the ND and didn't really fancy it, where as I can live with LCHF.

When I was first diagnosed, my DN told me to eat carbs at each meal but to eat the same amount at each meal? So I did that for a while, luckily I found this site, I now do LCHF and have lost to date 17lb in a few weeks, although it has slowed down a bit, I still need to lose at least another 2...

I think it is worth watching .

Meant "for him" lol bloody predictive txt!

Only the man was on the fasting diet, because he had a lot of fat around his organs,so for Jim it was useful

It seems he was basically cutting al sugar,carbs,dairy apart from veg it doesn't seem to leave a lot! At least with LCHF you can eat a reasonable amount, I'm worried about eating the high fat now! Lol

Not 5.2 diet, don't think it was Newcastle diet either, it was mainly sensible eating but cutting out all sugar, all carbs, and dairy food such as cream, not sure it was all dairy that was cut, but the doctor said fasting 2-3 times a week could potentially reverse diabetes? Interesting!

I watched the programme, what does everyone think of f the Fasting he suggested?

Hi, That's what I was thinking about the glucose tablets, I can kinda tell just before I go low,but it's normally while doing some form of exercise,but as you say maybe I will try a bit more food before starting out, thank you for your reply.

Hi, I always test two hours after any meal,I had cheese instead of porridge today and my read is 4.8 but I will be having lunch soon at a fish restaurant , this is when it will be hard not to have chips or bread lol but it's my birthday so I will try to be good but it's not guaranteed!

Thank you Cumberland, I had a look at it but they are out of stock, also I have lots of tablets from Sainsburys which are totally a different shape, but thank you I will keep my eye open for one if they come back in stock

Hi Cumberland, I carry them in a bag in a tube which hold 10, I didn't know there is such a thing as a gluco carry, I will check it out as I don't need that many on me.

Hi 4ratbags, Thank you for your answer, I don't snack, and I don't really miss the bread, etc although up to two weeks ago I used to eat bread and pots with almost everything, I cook separate food for my hubby, ie tonight he had a chicken roast dinner and I had a chicken salad, I'm quite...
