Interesting! Do you know the brand name of this low carb bread? Or is it Tesco's own make?

Hi, and thanks for your reply. Yes, I have seen the diet doctor website and I find it a really useful tool, the graphical representations of what constitute low carb food give you a good visual insight to what are low carb food options. I do have a blood glucose testing meter that i have been...

It's good to know that there are specialised foods available for those of us condemned to a low carb lifestyle! ;)

Thanks for that, I hadn't seen the Burgen. I will give this a try as well, do you have a set daily goal for your carb intake?

Well, I finish the fast 800 on Tuesday after eight weeks and I think it has been a success. I have shed 2 stone in weight and my blood sugars are routinely in the normal range averaging 5.5 mmol/l or less and have been for the last three weeks, this is based on three finger prick tests a day one...

Thanks for that, you say to keep to the same carbs and increase protein and fat, but and don't count calories. Surely though if I do this my carbs will go up because there are some carbs in everything we eat is there not? Could I occasionally have a wholemeal bread sandwich and some brown rice...

Thanks for the reply, having completed seven weeks out of eight I feel I ought to continue to the end. However then I will go on to maintenance. What in your opinion would be the best maintenance regime? Some say 5:2, but I will still presumably lose weight on this but at a more sedate pace...

Thank you all for your useful informative replies. I weighed myself this morning and I am 11st 4lbs! one more pound and I will have lost 2st! My BMI is now 22.1, Looking at myself in the mirror I look thin, I can see my ribs, I have lost four inches off my waist and I don't think I look...

Hi @AloeSvea, thanks for the reply. I'm in the middle of week seven now and I must admit that doing this diet has not been easy! Like you I have found that I feel hungry a lot of the time particularly in the evening. I have been having three meals a day and have been sticking to between 20-25...

Hi all, I have been on the fast 800 diet for six weeks now. Just about to start week seven! I have lost 1st 8lbs my blood sugars measured in the morning (fasting) two hours after eating and before bed are all in the normal range 5.5 mmo/l or below my BP this morning was 117/72 and my BMI is now...

Welcome to you, I'm new here too!

Welcome to you, we are newbies together!:)

Thanks, and that is very encouraging information! I will follow to the letter this WOE for as long as it takes, i'm a bit OCD anyway and once I embark on a course of action I see it through come what may. But this holiday has been a long while in the planning and it is encouraging to think that...

Thanks for your very informative reply, I am at the Dr's tomorrow to discuss all of this and I will be requesting another Hba1C test, however as I understand it this test shows the history of your blood glucose level over a three month period? In which case I will have to wait until at least...

Yes, I didn't think of that! I will also be much more used to this type of lifestyle by then as well!

What do you all do when you go on holiday? I have a 23 night cruise to Australia booked in Feb next year and I am wondering how I am going to get on monitoring my carb intake when all my meals will be prepared for me?

Thank you all for the welcome and your helpful responses. :)

One question which does occur to me is I am told it is possible to reverse this diagnosis and regain a normal BG level, Does that mean that the condition has gone or is just in remission? Will I have to continue to eat a low carb diet and monitor my BG levels for the rest of my life?

Hi there, I have come to this site because I have been diagnosed as pre-diabetic Hba1C reading of 44 mmo/l on the 6th March 2019. I had a previous test in September of last year which was normal. For the last four weeks I have been doing the Dr Michael Mosely fast 800 Blood sugar diet. In that...
