    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Don't want to derail thread but this is so much on all our minds again here at the moment, so will answer. Yes, last Summer was horrendous but many places so much worse than we had it. Here we did not see blue sky for months, just smoke, smoke and more smoke hanging in the air like some...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    1.2kg gone in past week, so that's 14.2kg down in this phase - soooo close to my first major goal of -15kg. Trying to stay super focused until Christmas, then probably a sort of normal Christmas day, I can skip the root veggies, but don't think I will forgo a piece of Christmas pudding - then...

    T2s: What was your fasting BG this morning, and what did you eat yesterday?

    Others have much deeper knowledge than I do, but suspect that most would say that the general rule of thumb is the lower carb the better and you'll see that on the forums, dropping weight has been essential for many (myself included and a work in progress :)). There are links on this website to...

    @zauberflote many thanks for starting this thread - finally jumping on and waaaaay behind! So maybe I'll just dive in from here. I thoroughly enjoyed all the early doggie posts (miss having a dog, was just about to get a one - after many dogless years - when COVID hit and so I put it off) -...

    Another 1.1kg gone this past week. Glad to be holding to recent trend of around minus 1kg per week - appropriate for this very low cal/low carb phase (which I'm pushing on from 12 weeks as per some of Prof Taylor's research). Blood sugars over past 9 days suggest that I may be coming close to...
