Mike I was being sarcastic actually, getting BG down as well as losing this 3stone I put on are my BIG issues, I just don't need anyone to tell me how to lose weight, that shipped sailed many years ago, I could tell others how to lose weight - if you don't mind my saying - some of the comments...

One of the things I noticed about the LCHF diet plan was that I didn't feel hungry, and where it stated eating beef I just substituted that with fish or chicken. I eat salads all the time, and a big on above ground veg but that's nothing new for me, it's been my life for years, but the LCHF...

Thanks for your reply bluetit, and yes I've tried 2 weeks with the dietdoctor.com LCHF. I've been on more diets over my years than I care to remember and was able to maintain a loss of 10st for more than 8 years until I stopped smoking 3 years ago, and it piled on, so losing weight and how to...

I don't believe in all this mystery, I think you should at least state on your profile where you live - sorry but that's how it has always been with me. As for being a diabetic, from very early in my life I realized what to eat (or not) in order to successfully lose weight, and like many I lost...

On the 27th I am due to see the dietician, I recall when my practice nurse said I'd see the dietician, I'd have a while to wait, this was in February and there you go first available appointment is 27th April. I am somewhat peeved at what has been described as our marvellous NHS there's nothing...

Hi Debra - to answer your last question, I test 3 or 4 times a day, and whilst I agree with what you say that we are not all the same, I really think I'm going to do my own thing and see how it goes, because obviously the dietdoctors one is just not to my liking, as it turns out the veg on that...

I hope none of you either on this thread or others, mind if I ask what sort of age groups you are in, as I do believe that makes a huge difference to how we feel on a daily basis. I feel like **** to be honest, and I have skin problems which is something I've never had in my life as I've always...

Hello there Adrian, and thanks for the info, however, as I am no stranger to how good it feels to lose weight, having in the past (pre diabetes) been on every conceivable diet, and having felt great - so far I cannot say the same for this LCHF way of eating, and not impressed at all. Today...

I hope I can try some of the recipes out, I too love ice cream, and I love a lot of things I've not had since being diagnosed, have stuck rigidly to lchf but have avoided meat as i never eat it, but have made substitutes which I hope are ok. My BG is always higher on wakening, as I normally get...

with or without type 2 or being overweight, virtually all of my life, when like most, I've gained weight, only to lose twice as much as I gained, and the proverbial yoyo effect, ultimately all this means is that you end up heavier than you ever were first time ever on a diet, probably like me...

I have the Braun Omnitest3 meter kit, comes with strips and lancers, it's very accurate and requires only a small amount of blood, I've had no problems with it.

I've pretty much sorted it out now for what suits me. Yes I've been following the 2 week DietDoctor LCHF plan, I must admit I'm enjoying my berries with cream or Greek Yoghurt. I have to say I could happily have eggs in one form or another for breakfast every morning, and am so pleased I can...

I am on the diet doctor 2 week LCHF. So far I have worked out what is best for me, and shall probably just stick to that. I don't feel hungry at all, and therefore no in between snacking, so I think given a few more days, i'll have worked out what's best for me - I have no problems with veg...

Hi - yes it is, but i don't have a grill - so for me by choice, it is the slo cooker and oven, I only use the hob for boiling stuff, I don't like greasy things, never have done, even when I was a child, so I won't have that kind of breakfast I'll stick to boiled, poached and scrambled.

This was supposed to be day 1 of the 2 week LCHF diet, but unfortunately I have fallen at the first hurdle - I simply cannot cook the things on the list, and i hate frying, the kitchen getting smoky, the smoke alarm going off - it's alien to my way of cooking in the past, I love to use the oven...

I am quite happy with my reading being at 4, even if the practice nurse isn't LoL.

Thanks for your reply Zand, I just wondered where you were because I only realized a couple of days ago there are a lot not from the UK on here, and also thanks for the info - I agree with you.

You'll probably think I'm daft, but I dislike frying, as I don't like the mess it makes on my hob and surrounding area with splatters - frying is something I rarely do. I use oven and slow cooker for most things, and a steamer on hob for veg - always have done.

Hi no sorry, for the misunderstanding - I haven't been totally vegi for 3 years, I have been vegi but with the inclusion of chicken and fish only, I did not have bacon with my breakfast this morning day 1 I have had eggs mushrooms tomatos, I omitted the bacon. bacon and beef were on that...

Zand, thanks for your reply. I don't know where you live or what age you are, but when I was in my 30s 40s and 50s my cholesterol never changed it was always between 3.0 and 4.0, now that I'm in my 60s it has changed, it is 4.1, the only reason I mention this is because the nurse/practitioner...
