David J Clark...I loved seeing those pictures. Fantastic stuff. I am not a heavy follower of LCHF now but was puritanical in 2016 and for half of 2017. My main preoccupation is to keep my weight between 12st and 12.5st (having been 15.5st in Jan 2016 with HbA1c at 51). I got my latest blood...

I can only back up what you say. Weirdly, I logged on today at 15.08 to find that at 15.07 I had received an award for being a member for exactly one year, at 15.07. I guess I am a creature of habit :) . In all honesty, I can't say that I follow the LCHF diet ardently now. That is mainly because...

Thanks. If just one person reads my posts and changes their life it is good. I can't tell you whose post I read to reach the LCHF part of the forum but they are worth their weight in gold because it revolutionised my life. I have a real zest for life now and a real awareness of how food intake...

Hi all Haven't been on here for two or three months but today got the most wonderful news that I had - after reading abut the Newcastle Diet and then coming on here and reading all about LCHF - managed to reverse the diabetes effect. In January of this year a pre-op blood test had me at HbA1 of...

I haven't posted for while but I owe a huge thanks to this forum for the massive difference made to my life this year. At the start of this year I was, similar to a poster above, overweight (15st 3lbs), feeling drained all the time and getting breathless easily. In January a pre-op revealed a...

I would have a rough idea of what calories you need to be on to sustain weight and try and undercut it by 300-500 cals. To me any more is a little too much. I generally aim for 1800 cals but don't worry if it creeps towards 2,000. I generally have two days a week of low cals (600-900). I have...

Today's breakfast 60g blueberries, 75g raspberries, 150g crème fraiche A lovely start to a crisp, cool morning

Not loads. A little bit of turmeric and cinnamon and coriander amounts are greater than the turmeric. Probably all totals about 1/2 to a teaspoon tops. The turmeric is there because it is referred to as the king of spices. The coriander is there because it is an old Indian method of inducing...

I am not 68 but 48. However, I can direct to your post exactly. I have come down just over one and a half stone over the last 3 months and life feels better. I was not actually diagnosed with diabetes but that is only because my second blodd test came in at 47 not 48 or above. My first was 51...

Today I had: B: 60g Cream cheese, 50g peppers, 50g tomatoes L: 125g chicken, 40g cheese, I plum D: 175g salted peanuts, I banana S: 150g raspberries The reason for the strange dinner is that I had to get something while out and that was the best I could do. Calories were around 1900 and carbs...

While I agree this is probably not the right thread for this I will sort of back up what Debrasue and some of what you said. Make the diet suit what you like (I am not ready to go to HF and don't do it to a great extent). However, the calorie counting and working out what gives what and how...

That's considered a low fat diet in Glasgow you know :D

Oh dear. Raspberries and crème fraiche. Have them in plentiful supply, Brunneria. That way you have the high fibre/low sugar fruit plus the low carb crème fraiche to counteract the creamy desire (or just have cream, I just like crème fraiche). A beautiful dessert and nice to eat for supper...

Hope everyone is well. Have been away for a week, partly because I was down in Devon on holiday (and nipping off to watch Maidstone United win 3-1 at Truro City). I have been trying to attack weight this week by eating below calories after staying stuck at 13st 10lbs for 2 weeks. So I have...

Today so far: B: 60g salmon with 130g mushrooms fried in sunflower oil Elevenses: 75g feta cheese with 50g cucumber, 50g tomatoes L: Bolognese from yesterday - 300g mince with 40g napolina chopped tomatoes D: Chicken curry (homemade) Not quite sure what is going in the curry (other than...

Today I had: B: Nothing L: 50g tomatoes, 50g cucumber, 30g pepper, 50g Tesco soft cheese, 70g corned beef D: Bolognese - 300g minced beef with 50g Napolina chopped tomatoes S: 1 apple While some of the weights are guessed the figures are based on these guesses. Cals 1,036 , 61g carbs, sugars...

My preference is for salad with olive oil and pepper on it accompanied by something like 75g of soft cheese or a couple of boiled eggs. The one thing I have liked on my short journey so far is flying in the face of convention and eating what I want. I have actually enjoyed the debates I have...

So this would be a good thing then, as you try and lose weight. I have noticed that since I have been doing my weight loss and low carbing I have had some very long wees, especially in the morning (sorry to be so graphic) and I was wondering if this was connected to liver dump. It is more likely...

It was 100g dried. However, your question highlights how little I know on this subject. Forever learning, I guess.

Can someone explain more about the morning liver dump that gets referred to on here, please. I sometimes experience being a little thirsty and tired when I wake up although this is soon shaken off when I get up. I have wondered if I am experiencing a mild liver dump and whether I can use this...
