    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    I keep seeing your ‘Camembert and walnut’ combo so I tried it the other day. Delicious!! Although the Camembert stinks my fridge out haha. [emoji40]

    My personal hypothesis - T2 - Low insulin Diet

    Well done @CherryAA. This thread is so interesting; I love it. I’m having a mental week at school so am just going to give measuring and low carbing a break however am still doing one meal a day. I find not eating a work so much easier as the more I snack (doesn’t matter whether that’s a low...

    My personal hypothesis - T2 - Low insulin Diet

    Another quarter pound off. Not much but I’m hoping for a ‘whoosh’ in the future. Not measured anything else; not as meticulous as you @CherryAA. I measured my BG an hour after my tea (5.5) but then remembered I’d not measured pre lol. It looks promising though! I’ll try to do FBG and pre and...

    My personal hypothesis - T2 - Low insulin Diet

    I hope so too. Had a good day at work incidentally: not one thought about food today. My meal from last night kept me full and focused. Let’s hope I carry on losing weight!

    My personal hypothesis - T2 - Low insulin Diet

    I’m currently munching my way through a second portion of the fatty bacon and aubergine lasagne (had first portion yesterday). @cherry. Oh my. Filling up quickly. Haha. Edited for clarity.

    My personal hypothesis - T2 - Low insulin Diet

    Hi CherryAA, recorded a loss of a quarter pound. Well a loss is a loss haha. FBG was 6.3 after a bit of a restless night. Managed OMAD yesterday too and only got hungry at about 2pm so that was good. Up early today for work so the dynamics in my body AND mind will be different, but I’ve done...

    My personal hypothesis - T2 - Low insulin Diet

    I’ve been overweight since baby no 2; that baby is now 19 years old... Never been able to stick to anything longer than about a week. I was diagnosed in June 2014 and just kept getting iller and iller. Slight hypertension too; on Met and Ramipril. Found this forum in 2016 and managed to lose...

    My personal hypothesis - T2 - Low insulin Diet

    I’m not on insulin but I’ll keep measuring to make sure I’m doing the right thing for me. [emoji4] Edited for spelling error.

    My personal hypothesis - T2 - Low insulin Diet

    My BG was 5 before my meal and 3.6 an hour afterwards... I re-tested and it still said 3.6, which seemed odd. This morning my Codefree didn’t want to measure anything at all-I tried 3 strips and changing the battery. Then finally it measured 5.7 on the fourth attempt. Maybe it’s time for a new...

    My personal hypothesis - T2 - Low insulin Diet

    It certainly makes for an interesting experiment; that’s for sure!!

    My personal hypothesis - T2 - Low insulin Diet

    I think my protein needs to be in the 90s so yes that was quite low. I’m not a macro counter to be fair but I occasionally look at the nutrition pie chart to see how I’m doing in terms of carbs. My FBG was 5.7 this morning and I’ve lost 2.5 lbs this morning after one day of OMAD. That’s coming...

    Look at my macros: too many carbs but oh my, all that fat!!

    My personal hypothesis - T2 - Low insulin Diet

    At a guess it was probably the lack of water... I need to be more vigilant with it. I’ve been drinking ACV for about three months now. I bloody love it! I have it mixed with no added sugar cherries and berries squash and water and drink it with a straw whilst eating my tea. I can’t do it on an...

    My personal hypothesis - T2 - Low insulin Diet

    I drank water regularly today but probably not enough for a fasting day [emoji51] I’ve heard about the salt before but am slightly apprehensive as have every slight hypertension... I’ve had a nice meal tonight which included Camembert, clotted cream and walnuts amongst other things. May give...

    My personal hypothesis - T2 - Low insulin Diet

    I suppose it’s like anything; you get used to it. I am the same with ‘slipping stuff in’: a bit of cheese here, couple of tablespoons of bolognaise there, a swig of cream, some pepper, carrot, etc. etc. When I was VLCing, my husband quite often found me with my fist in my mouth to stop myself...
