diet

11 months after being diagnosed with T2D, the past week has been firmly in remission territory. This is what worked for me, in case it helps others: - Decision to lose weight right to the edge of the low end of the normal weight range for my sex, height, and age. (Inspired by the findings of...

Hi all, Thanks again to everyone who has responded to my other questions - big help! Another one: Do you eat a very wide variety of foods, or do you restrict yourself to a select 10-12 foods? I find that keeping my choices limited allows me to better control my intake. There is some scientific...

Hi all, I'm a long-term ADF faster, having started in 2011, but dropped off for some time because of an minor issue (I had been looking for a job, and the fasting had caused my neck to become very wrinkly, making me look much older than my age - and I assumed that was a factor in my rejections)...

Hi all, I'm a long-term ADF faster, but dropped off for some time because of an unrelated medical issue (minor, but irritating). That's when my BG rose from pre-diabetic to diabetic levels. Have lost 17 kilos since Oct last year, and while I haven't got an HBA1C test done recently, my...

Hi Fabulous People So lucky to have a forum full of support like this. It has been lovely reading everyone’s threads. I hope to be able to help in the future too. My name is Claire and I am 36. I found out this week I’m diabetic; they think T2. Thanks to my genes and lockdown sugar habit we...

I started a Keto diet 10 days ago. So far I have advanced 1 belt loop (in the right direction) but I have not lost any weight. I use Ketosis test strips which have shown me to be at the high ketosis end of the scale since day 3. Why am I not losing weight? My diet ingredients are pretty bland...

In a low-carb diet, the carbohydrate intake is limited to about 5 to 10 percent, such that protein and fats take precedence in one’s eating habits, to be able to keep sated and avoid bouts of hunger. It is in maintaining that feeling of fullness that one is able to avoid craving for sweets, and...

So I'm 24 years old, male. Finally got an answer to all my dizziness and terrible symptoms. So after trial and error, and the terrifying error of hitting 45 and feeling like I was dying, I've got my diet almost wired tight. I mainly eat eggs, bacon, daves killer bread, with natural peanut...

Hi everybody, I am 77 years old, with Type 2 and have been on a very strict diet for the last few months, which has reduced my diabetes readings significantly. But the diet is extremely hard to stick too and with the tiniest lapses, my sugar level goes racing up to roughly what it was before...

For the last 3 1/2 weeks I have been having problems digesting meat 1. I have been on LCHF diet since August 2019. The pain has been in my right lower abdomen (dull pain which has been debilitating and preventing me from sleeping). When the pain first arose 3 1/2 weeks ago, I thought maybe I...

Evening guys, I was recently diagnosed with high glucose levels, my GP said it was in the pre-diabetics range and suggested I lose some weight and see how I go from there. I have a quick question. I struggle with diets and would ideally like to lose around 30lbs. I’ve done low carb before...

I wanted to ask about the possible results of using the Metformin, and eating what I want. I am not doing this but I did some googling this a.m. to see if I could find something factual, or others experience. Then I came here because I like hearing from folks that actually have Diabetes more...

I've been looking into doing the Slimfast 7 day plan but doing it longer term, only issue really is that everyone says there's basically zero variety and I'd prefer keto, I've been thinking of doing 1 Atkins bar 1 Keto Shake for breakfast same for lunch, then chicken breast with veg and bacon...

It seems to me that all the diabetes official groups are still pushing carbohydrate as a good thing for diabetics! Please can we get someone on our side to keep our blood sugar normal. How much carbohydrate is ACTUALLY needed?

The BMJ has recently published this:- Efficacy and safety of low and very low carbohydrate diets for type 2 diabetes remission: systematic review and meta-analysis of published and unpublished randomized trial data https://www.bmj.com/content/372/bmj.m4743 Importantly, the authors have...

Hi, everyone, I have been doing intermittent fasting for nearly 2 months now. Have questions, doubts about if I have done it right, or things can be improved. My BS lever was 65 Hba1c (10.3mmol/L) in Aug. and I have been monitored my BG level for fasting, in 2 hrs and random in the evenings...

Saturday 21/11/2020 Hi this my first post in this forum I have decided to go on a ketone diet starting Monday 23/11/22 because the doctors said I have type 2 diabetes the sugar level came 101 and normal is 50! Which came as a shock to me as I am in good health and have no known diabetes...

My friend's 12 year old nephew has Polycystic Kidney Disease, as does his mother, and his grandfather who sadly died from the disease. Following a discussion about carbonated and caffeinated beverages, I wanted to learn more about diet for this condition. This article really surprised me...
