    Straight 5 this morning. Went to watch footie in the week and the following morning had a 2.9....so plan for following week, reduce insulin and drink Bovril after dinner if feeling peckish, and then drink plenty of water cos it's a bit salty.

    First week of low carb low cal almost done

    Thanks for your replies David and Phoenix. It has reassured me enough to continue with the recipe books I have to find out the right level for me. First of the month tomorrow, so hopefully a good day to get back on it and make week 3 better.

    First week of low carb low cal almost done

    After a properly rubbish 2nd week, I'm back on insulin, but determined to continue low carbing. What is considered "low enough carb"? I looked at the carb content of the recipes in the carbs and Cal's book and was shocked that some of the recipes are seemingly high 30, 40 and higher in some...

    7.2 - not too pleased with that, after a run of 5's and no insulin for 6 days. Went out for lunch yesterday but had omelette and salad - no dressing and choc free cappuccino. Kept to low carb for brekkie and supper!!!

    First week of low carb low cal almost done

    As I've been following the carbs & cals book I've not actually counted the carbs. I was eating a lot of the wrong stuff before so I guess might explain the pangs, but one or two in a week isn't so bad. In the next few days the keto stuff will be in full swing so should be no pangs at all

    3 times, but if the calorie count is really low I boost it with a hard boiled egg

    First week of low carb low cal almost done

    I set the target at 800, but most days so far I've kept under by about 50-70. I've only had one or two hunger pangs, but generally ok, not feeling hungry

    First week of low carb low cal almost done

    I do make porridge and add different things. I make it with coconut milk or almond milk to keep it creamy and preserve Cal's. I add cinnamon or ginger and often a dessert spoon of unsweetened dessicated coconut which helps it thicken. I also prep the ingredients the night before they cook...

    First week of low carb low cal almost done

    After starting the 800 cal diet for the second time (successful 14kg lost last year followed immediately by a chest infection, so returned to insulin and had steady weight gain since), first week is almost done. I'll post weight loss on Monday as I'm away from scales for the weekend. Progress...
