I’ve been feeling fed up with the whole cycle as well and just recently was talking to my hairdresser about how I was feeling and she gave me the name of a doctor who is more interested in prevention than meds. My “fed up” point came when I was wanting to use Ozempic for three months and track...

I’m soooo looking forward to getting everything streamlined again. Q[emoji4]

Thanks for these responses, they were a great help. Have been shopping, set up menus for a week, prepped the food , got a leg of lamb to roast and some beef ready to go in the crockpot. I think that a bulk buy of steak is on the cards with chicken thighs and legs. Feeling better today...

Sorry, my head is all over the place at present. Today, I took some time out to think the process through. I decided to take one week at a time and properly plan out the menus, shop and then prep as much as I could. The problems I have been having lately, is even though I have shopped, I...

I wondered if anyone here does food prep for about a week in front. I have been following LCHF/intermittent fasting now for awhile and doing well. It’s been a bit difficult as my husband eats differently to me and I find preparing meals for him and myself is getting a bit tedious and time...

My podiatrist told me to not buy expensive creams etc but to keep Vicks Vapour Rub on my affected toe nails. The toe nails grow so slowly it’s hard to keep tabs on how beneficial it is. The bonus though is that my shoes and feet smell great [emoji23]

I have been inactive for around 9 weeks due to a broken foot. Apparently had been broken for 3 1/2 weeks before xray got done. I am aware that the DP will come into play here as well, but trying to make sense of it all. Throughout this whole time I was very careful about what I was eating ...

Diuretics rob the body of potassium so it might be handy to supplement with it. Usually the tabs are tiny so they are very easy to swallow.

I hadn’t done that. So obvious. [emoji849][emoji849]

Wow, thanks for the above responses. I have some more reading to do. Yesterday I found some little crackers that have only 1.2g carb per 100g. Made from pumpkin, sesame and flax seeds. $6 for 110g . I bought a couple of packets and will do a dip and set up a plate of low carb veges and some...

I’m in Brisbane Australia so seafood is usually on the menu with ham / chicken and I usually make a killer potato salad but that is out I know. Salads that I can do the night before would be helpful and some desserts and sweet/savoury nibbles. Drinks ideas ???? We will probably be in the...

On the 28th December I would have been following lCHF/Keto and OMAD for 12 months and doing really well. I’ve been trying to sort the meals out for the upcoming festive season and really stressing with how I can enjoy great food ,not feel deprived and keep my BGL under control. I don’t...

Thanks for that explanation Jim. Beautifully put, so I will Stay calm and carry on.

I have a meter and test regularly. It has been at acceptable levels until I started fasting for longer times and dropped carbs down even further. Have made up a heap of both chicken and beef broth and will be using this over the next week as I slowly extend the fasting times. Have...

Finally found the answer from Jason Fung. It’s normal. Whew!,, I wonder if it will affect the next lot of HBA1c tests negatively? Hopefully as the sugar is pulled from the liver my early morning results will drop as well.

How is it possible that I have been on OMAD for months and switch over to longer fasting and my blood glucose levels go up ? My main meal is either keto or LCHF. Have just finished making up a beef broth and a chicken broth and felt that I should just keep fasting until they come back level...

@Tipetoo. I have and I must say that for me it was a complete disaster. Because I hadn’t had much luck with getting my HBA1c down, I figured that I must have been doing something wrong and was keen to see what it was. Part way through we were directed to a couple of tables that had sample...

Thanks for this. Very interesting . It at least gives a real number to work towards and the comment that extra beyond that is going to not result in any significant RET is really helpful.

How are you going with your training program Jim?

My HBAIc tests came back around the same as they were three months ago. Once again cholesterol has dropped with the good chl going up and the other going down. Doc commented on how she is using my results to try to motivate some of her diabetic patients. Her frustration with their excuses is...
