An update...Thank you everyone for your words of encouragement and non judgement. I am the type of person that can really beat myself if I feel I have let myself down. I have been taking things one day at a time but 6 days of the week am low carb (no breads, pasta, treats, rice etc) and eat...

Yes @lucylocket61 you are right! I think part of it is, I can control most of my intake in the week i.e no sugar, mainly proteins with some veg and no carbs, sometimes I have protein only alongside a fast of at least 16:8. On the weekends, I maintain my fast protocol on Saturday but on Sunday...

@Goonergal Yes I had a sort of food list from back in the day, i think I've kind of turned into a bit of a rebel as I cannot seem to stick with them. I will refresh my menus and have a look at some new ones on diet doctor that I could maybe try out to see if they make the cut. I definitely...

Thank you @DCUKMod and everyone else that has replied to the thread, one day at a time I guess and I have some ideas going forward i.e. forward planning, cutting down or out on treats and maybe trying some new recipes to refresh the palette!

Yes I see that now that I have to look at it as a lifestyle

@bulkbiker my longsuffering husband bless him is low carb and what I noticed is that he tries to stay consistent almost waiting for me to rejoin him! My kids are another matter lol I think I have just become obsessed with food so to speak, in the last 4 weeks, I've started IF and partial...

And that is it @SaskiaKC I lost interest in the foods. Its not that they were not enjoyable, they were but I struggled a bit eating more fat than my low fat diets used to tell me. I still cut fat off meat and eat skinless chicken etc so I think at times I may not have been getting the full...

Thank you, it always seems harder on the second, third, forth go around probably because of the knowledge that it can be done and I let it slip. Carb creep is definitely a problem for me, I can have an occasional treat if I factor it in like after sunday dinner but I have always been an...

That was exactly my problem! The treats became regular habits and comfort food until they became out of hand, now that I have cut them back out alongside the carbs which also came back into my diet, I hope things can change it just feels so frustrating that the results I had before are...

Sorry to come back posting after so long with negativity, I have no where else to go and feel helpless. I was diagnosed in 2016 as T2 and recommended medication. Thankfully I found this forum and managed within a few months to get my HBA1C levels into just below pre diabetic range without...

I hope maybe someone can share some encouragement. I am so confused and not even sure what I'm confused about. In 2016 I was diagnosed T2 and managed to kick it to the curb with LCHF loosing weight and lowering my HBA1C to just under pre diabetic numbers. Then I lapsed big time. Weight starting...

Lol I love the prison analogy as well as the carbohydrate intolerant description! I so hope I can continue on this path, I aim to anyways

Yes indeed @Pipp she has had a long medical road but is doing very well which allowed me time to concentrate on myself. I have managed to shift 3 stone of weight and still have maybe another stone and a half to go! Really looking forward to this year!

Thanks guys, I appreciate the support of this forum I couldn't have done it without the advice here. I'll still be lurking in the food forums and it definitely drives it home that I must never go back to where I was...I've had a fortunate glimpse into the future...and me no likely:)

Hi all I haven't been on here for a while but still read the posts for encouragement and inspiration. I've continued following the lchf lifestyle since March last year when I was diagnosed and my previous hba1c saw a good reduction in numbers. I've just had another one carried out and I am...

So many wonderful ideas in this thread thanks so much guys. I will need to try out some of these recipes:)

My baby now nearly 2 was born 10lb 4oz, there were collisions giving birth, she became stuck and ended up with nerve damage. It is diabetes that I had gd as I am now diagnosed type 2

Thank you will look it up

So I've been feeling really under the weather for the last few days. I assume that my usual dose of covonia is out. Are there any effective syrups I can use to calm my chest and break up nasties?

Another ecig user here, been using them for the last two years and finally quit cigarettes 7 months ago. I also make my own liquid as it is more cost effective.
