I do not take any meds and we are all likely to react differently to change in diet I can only give my experience . When I reduced carbs I got really cold for a short time .. it was my knees which were the coldest but my whole body felt deeply cold. I posted a question on this forum...

We are all different so what works for me may not work for someone else . I have a spoonful of milled flaxseed (I find bran unpalatable)- get it from Holland & Barratt and take it with water and I find important to drink at least 1.5 litres of fluid . I take a tablet of liquorice root...

For soft drinks - sparkling water with a slice of lemon / or lime or plain soda water with an ice and a slice can look like G&T and can be very nice . Diet coke/ Pepsi can be OK but if not out of a bottle then a danger that it may not be the diet variety. We are all different as we how...

We are all different so some people find low carb works and others find low cals work . I found I was not hungry on low carbs and have lost 4 stone on lowish carb ( 60ish carbs ) and protein based on 0.8 kilo of the weight I wanted to be plus drinking at least 1.5 - 2 litres of fluid a day...

I have had two private ops - both new hips and an advantage for me was having a private room as I do not sleep well and need to listen to a radio to get to sleep. For the most recent hip ( last year ) when I could not walk without intensive pain and my GP would not put me forward to be...

Have you tried the mug muffins - 90 sec cooked in a mug with either a couple of heaped teaspoons ( or level table spoons ) of almond "flour" or coconut "flour", an egg , quarter of teaspoon of baking powder a dollop of olive oil mix together put in a mug and microwave for 90 sec . Quite...

Just been to Boots and Accu chek accessories ie strips / lancets etc are for sale @30% off - offer is also available on line . I know they are expensive but at least these are less than usual

As others have said it is better not to snack - but here are some options which I occasionally use - You can buy packets of small pieces of cheese There are lots in supermarket which do them - or cut up a large piece of cheese and wrap a small matchbox sized pieces to eat ...

We are all different but if I was eating at you are eating it would be too much protein. I did find when I started on low carb weight did not move as I hope until I aimed for for protein to be 0.8 per kilo of the weight I wanted to be . So looking at your meal plan - a couple of eggs and...

I have had two stalls and currently in my third stall - I was in excess of 16 stone - dropped weight steadily until 13 stone- was then 6 weeks at 13 stone then dropped 7lbs in a week - stalled again for 8 weeks and again lost 7lbs in a week - so now 12 stone - been there for a couple of months...

Just tried the coconut muffins and they were yummy and so easy ... thanks for the recipe

As mentioned illness can upset blood sugars but as you said you had not drunk anything then you could be dehydrated ? Have you tried dioralyte or something similar ?

While we are all different I think stalling is not unusual . My experience is that I stalled after losing a couple of stone gradually over with a perod of time at about 2lbs a aweek . I then stalled for 6 weeks and suddenly I lost 7lbs in a week and then 8 weeks no weight loss and then...

Another thought , if you do not get anywhere with the medical detection dogs, the dogs trust have list of homeless hostels / flats which allow dogs - one site https://www.moretodogstrust.org.uk/help-with-finding-accommodation/dog-friendly-hostels

Is the woman a type 1 who is suffers from hypo unawareness ? Or does the dog alert her to some other condition? If she is type 2 and not on insulin ( or tablets which increase insulin which could cause hypos ) then not sure what the the alert dog would be doing as regards her diabetes...

What works for one, may not work for someone else, so you may have to try and see if it helps you . It is low carb as is 4 .7 carbs per 100 gm and 30.6 fibre and is a source of omega 3 . In theory one should eat 30 gm of fibre a day but I find that if I have 2 teaspoons of milled flax seed...

We are all different and I am not on any meds and I understand insulin may not aid weigh loss so not sure how much help my experience may be to you . This is that I found that I plateaued ( having lost 3stone quite steadily) and in my case I adjusted the protein which I reduced to 0.8 of...

Cannot help about Desmond. Gluten free may not be as still can have high carbs as can have for example bread substitutes can well have rice flour which is high carb. Green symbol can mislead for example cheese is fine for low carb but will have red symbol because high in fat and salt...
