The East Man, Thanks for the advice, I'm finding my fasting levels are all over the place and at the moment Greek Yoghurt and blueberries is increasing it slightly but then they steadily come down so tomorrow I'm trying a different breakfast, as well as a spin class. I plan to build muscle...

Hi Viv, :) Just so I'm sure I understand I can eat up to 14oz salads and 14oz other vegetables (in the list on Vivs modified atkins diet)? A quick question but my doctor has also prescribed me an Astorvastatin, has anyone ever done this diet whilst taking a statin to reduce Cholesteral /...

Wow 20-30 carbs a day whats your diet like I'd love to know what you eat typically in a day.
