Well done, that man! :) The beer (home made in my case) is my weak spot, too.....

Ooops, sorry to keep you waiting for a reply :-0 Had a bit of a wobble with my weight recently, but lost it before and will do it again (and don't have anything like as much to do this time, so not a disaster) , so it's all good

Good morning, You seem to be in the same position as I was (6'3", 15st 6, BG 44). My view (for what it's worth) is, set a long term (ie lifestyle) goal - and you've started that, the Newcastle diet - and go with it. Yes Christmas, Birthdays, Lad's Weekends away are bumps in the road, but only...

You all need a better hobby...... ;@)

Hi svalentine60 Only just seen your message, so all I can say is: what everyone already has. You are in the right place, reading this lot. We've been there and taken the advice. Welcome aboard, it'll not be long before you are typing encouraging messages for others :) Cheers, Steve

Hi Tracey, Your story is much like mine, I can only echo what everyone else is saying: Read this form, and take the advice which is on offer (I did and lost 25lb, got blood sugar under control, and haven't looked back) Cheers, Steve

Often open a tin, for a snack - but today is a fast day (and now I'm hungry - but only myself to blame for reading about food....:))

Good morning, Like everyone else has said - possibly never :) I was told I was pre-diabetic last summer so did a mix of LCHF diet and 5:2 fasting - lost the weight and lower the blood sugar readings. A few of my friends who were in the same boat have seen what I've done and are giving it a go...

Good morning all, I realise that I may (will!!!) be swimming against the tide here, but I'm not against Statins.... The background for me: I hade a medical which showed I had massively high blood pressure (170/120 - okay a bit of "white coat syndrome", but even so....) and as for cholesterol...

Did (still doing) the BSD and 5:2 fasting after I was told I was pre-diabetic. Lost 25lb and blood sugar dropped to right in the middle of the normal band. A couple of my pals do yo-yo dieting - can't convince them that it's not a diet, but rather a change in lifestyle. Another couple of chaps I...

Yup, same here. Latest blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure results all good, but have relaxed a bit and put some weight on (not much but my target was to lose another 5lb or so, not put in on....) Ho-hum, so.... have started to concentrate a bit more and get things back on track. It's...

Good morning, I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic last summer (after being on statins for a few years - they've worked, but that's a different discussion....). After a lot of research (none of which said I could carry on drinking my home-brewed beer at anything like the rate I was....), I decided...

First test (since diagnosis, last September), prior to endoscopy - 5.3 :) LCHF obviously works!

Just had a test (for the first time since diagnosis last September), prior to an endoscopy, and it's down to 5.3. LCHF obviously works.... :)
