That was going on the table for 2!! Should have said!! Another 2 portions left. Also used too much butter in veg!

I love cooking & used to share all my pics on my ww group on FB but thinking I'd get shunned for this!!

Thanks! It's only my first day & ive not had an official diagnosis yet - have a fasting blood test on Monday (after a non fasting one last Monday). I read the label on toms & thought they were high so I'll bear that in mind. Any tips gratefully received

Lamb mince with onion, pepper , tinned toms, stock pot, mint & oregano. Then Greek yog with egg yolk & cheese sprinkled on top & transferred to oven. Serving with leek & cabbage cooked in butter.

Hi Neety, I was doing no count before this so I'm trying to keep it in mind. Giving lc ago but willing to adapt, will see what nurse says tomorrow

Just cooked mushrooms is butter & garlic, added chicken breast & spiralized courgette. Cracked black pepper, single cream& goats cheese at the end. Lovely!

1st day lchf... Just had streaky bacon & egg. Away to my usual body combat class in a bit.... Had tea with skimmed milk too

Felt sick with nerves going round tesco - apart from the veg it's all stuff I avoid like the plague!

Thanks guys. Going get enough for 2 days & take it from there. Will post my food in the tread about that. I'm so nervous! I feel like I'm being 'bad'. I've been brain washed for too long!!!

Yes if I continued at ww I'd have to keep it on the down low I was doing a different diet

Thanks for the reply. I keep thinking of all the things I can eat & enjoy which I have denied myself for so long! I can't even remember what full fat yogurt tastes like!! Rather than thinking of what I can't have - that seems to work quite well for me.

I am going to go shopping and get some stuff in for starting lcfh diet - no time like the present! Please can you have a look and check that I am on the right lines! Avocado, cauli, broc, onion, toms, olives, cabbage, aubergine, mushrooms, asparagus, spinach cucumber, courgette, lettuce...

Thanks I will learn to navigate myself round here soon

Hi does anyone have a book they can recommend on the lchf diet ? My friend lent me Nerris & India but it's not great (& says not for diabetics although I get the feeling that could just because it's not the nhs advice for diabetes) B x

Again thanks everyone for your replies yesterday I've been reading loads and decided I'm going to start a lchf diet after seeing the nurse on Monday. I think I'm going to keep going to my weight watchers meetings for the weigh in & to see my pals there. This is going to be a big change for me as...

Reading over the lchf stuff & it goes against all I've ever thought!!! Spreading butter on cheese (an extreme I would think). It's definitely a learning curve. But thinking about it, it's makes sense I don't eat lots of sugar but do eat carbs lots & ive been at a loss as to why the weight isn't...

Thank you so much. No more blame game as afterall it is counter productive. I can think positively & be proud of what I can achieve. I'll have a look at the hclf diet & give that a bash [emoji4]

Thanks for your replies, I've been struggling to loose weight (typical don't have the 'unexplained weight loss' symptom!!) on a high carb low fat diet so maybe that is where I am going wrong. I eat carbs at every meal albeit mainly 'good' carbs. I am prepared to make the lifestyle changes I need...

Hi I'm Bronwen, I'm 35 & there's a high chance I'm going to be diagnosed with pre diabetes or type 2. I had a blood test last week and have been called back for a fasting blood test. I am obese & my father has type 2. I've lost weight in the past & regained it. I am very active & following...
