I'm following the advice of Dr Fung and Andreas Eenfeldt (Diet Doctor)...they suggest not just low carb-high fat but also intermittent fasting...there's plenty of science behind it that you can find the detail of by Googling them or viewing their videos in YouTube...but basically they suggest...

Sorry I've only just seen your post!...my notifications do t seem to work on this app! That's encouraging about hopefully dropping into the 30s...fingers crossed! And I really hope Diet Coke is ok but like you I'm having lots of water. I was no angel over the Easter hols (my little one got...

Hi Kyi I'm also so glad I found this site + Dr Fung, DietDoctor, etc...it really does make you think! But it's a worry because so many people will not do anything other than 'doctors orders'....I'm so glad I question pretty much everything and do my own research! I've found I'm less hungry too...

Mince...I was paying a fortune for less than 5% whilst following SW. I've tried Asda's frozen mince this week which I think was 12% and it's much cheaper and lovely!...not really fatty but not really lean. Could do with finding a good local butcher though! Made a 'lasagne' last night with...

Thanks again for the further tips and advice [emoji846] Wow Kyi - fantastic losing 20lbs and I agree 1-2lbs a week is a good aim...more likely to keep it off that way I've heard. What did your GP/nurse make of your loss and drops in Hb1Ac?...I ask mainly because the leaflet I got advised the...

Thanks, I'm quite determined but it's all so new to me....so hope I can stick with the changes and make even more! I forgot to say I've also lost 3cm on my waist! (my waistline is where pretty much all my excess sits, not in proportion to the rest of my body at all...often get asked when my baby...

Thanks for all the extra tips! I forgot to mention dairy! I'm not a big lover but I have been eating more cheese than usual and I've been having walnuts for snacks but haven't felt like snacking all that much compared to normal! I've also been converting back to the things WW and SW got me out...

Oooh what is seltzer?...I haven't heard of this

Thanks! I don't know about my bloods yet...that's my worry! I've only had one test via my GP and the follow up was not with a diabetic nurse. I have the same tests again mid-May and after them have to see the diabetic nurse. I don't test at home but have been reading about it...so may well...

This is really encouraging I'm going to try dark chocolate! Maybe someone will buy me a dark chocolate Easter Egg to start me off! (A small one!)

Love the advice about starters instead of mains! [emoji846]

Hi all! I joined a few weeks ago and asked about Low Carb High Fat and Intermittent Fasting compared to the Eat Well Plate. Bthanks agin t all those who advised me. After years of trying WW and SW which are both low fat diets I decided to try LCHF and IF after suggestions and after finding...

Hi [emoji846] I've also recently had blood tests that put me in the prediabetic range. I've. been adapting my diet the last few weeks and eating out can be a nightmare although I'm starting to learn little things! It depends where you stay and whether you must eat in the hotel you stay...

Awww! Thank you!!! Lots of support on here to help me and others

Thank you...yes I think more than anything it's alerted me to how many carbs I eat...I'm learning lots about the one food group I've unintentionally ignored in all the years I've tried to lose weight...even though I would look at the 'of which sugars' but I never really looked at the overall...

Thanks for all the tips! I'm curious about the monitors...can you (or anyone else who knows ) explain a bit more about how they work please?...all of this is totally new to me!

Thanks for the tip! I've tried what you said here so fingers crossed I've got it! It's a whole new world this forum stuff! Thanks for making it welcoming!

Not sure I'm replying in the right way to posts...I've confused myself!...so sorry if my replies are muddled up!!

Ohh! Thanks for that advice! I love raspberries and pineapple too!!
