Any suggestions how to increase energy on a low carb diet please?

Hi, recently i have been trying to change from keto diet to lchf due to weight loss issues and I am feeling my feet and hands numb very soon . Just in minutes, does this have anything to do with Diabetic neuropathy. My vision is also blurred even more than before.

Hi, I am T2D 6ft tall and weighed around 77 since 2 years . In past 2 months i have started off with LCHF then went on to KETO in combination with 23:1 IF . That did not suit me so settled for KETO since 5 weeks and my weight has gone down to 69 and my blood glucose numbers are absolutely...

I was diagnosed Type 2 in November 2016 with an HBA1C of 60, my cholesterol was 7.4, I was 19 stone 4lbs - heavy!! Before being diagnosed I thought I ate relatively healthily although my diet did consist of massive amounts of carbs i.e. pasta, rice, potatoes, starchy veg. Thankfully I read...

I've had three wins this week, and I'm so happy about them! 1) Just got the results from my first HbA1C after diagnosis in August, and it's down from 70 to 35. All down to the dietary advice you guys here have provided, and some amazing support from family and friends. My doctor seemed quite...

Im a couple of weeks into my new LCHF diet, and seriously missing chocolate! :) Has anyone heard of or tried Pundits chocolate? Its still not great (19g carbs per 100g) but not as bad as the "real thing" and was wondering if anyone had tried it or if there are any hidden drawbacks to having it...

With low carb or ? diet plan suggested seems way to high carb to me with out the thought of how carbs effect craving to people etcc..... .

Hi All, It's going to be a long one (sorry) but please bear with me... I've had diabetes for a number of years and for those number of years have been in denial thinking my body would kick into gear and sort itself out. It didn't! I was placed on Metaformin and Glicazide for ages but would...

I was listening to the Radio this evening and they were talking about some science around the brain getting smaller (in mice) when they went deaf. The story was suggesting that the brain like most of the other body parts had a use it or lose it biology. And I know that is so on muscle, and even...

I saw my diabetic nurse (3rd new one) on Wednesday, after having some bloods taken last Friday, the purpose of which was to get some reassurance that I was getting required nutrients. My last HbA1c in April increased from 35 to 36 (previous November), I am not sure if this sparked the nurse to...

Really hoping someone can help with this as the internet has only confused me more! On the Diabetes UK site I've just seen a recipe for a yellow lentil dhal, stating that a 300g serving would have less than 2g carbs. https://www.diabetes.org.uk/Guide-to-diabetes/Recipes/Channa-dahl/ That...

I have been on LCHF for about 3 months. Currently on around 30-45g carbs. Its going well apart from I am getting leg cramps in the night 'sometimes'. I'd like to understand more about how to control levels of these important minerals while on LCHF so my questions are: a. Is the LCHF just...

Hi, Ive been following the LCHF regime for a while now and it suits me and my way of living which is handy. I am a person with Type 1 Diabetes, on a pump and using CGM Sensors, so in theory ready for anything. However, Im really struggling to eat three meals a day ... I can manage two, often...

Just finished reading "The Food Revolution" by Dr Andreas Eenfeldt MD, aka Diet Doctor. It was really good. I grew up in the 70s and believed from an early age that fat is BAD, Cholesterol is BAD, low fat very good and high cholesterol something to avoid. Now I know there's NO scientific reason...

So a diabetic meet up will take place in Stratford on the 29th @Juicyj @covknit and myself should all be in attendance. Location TBC - anyone know it who can suggest? or my throw in is the theater outside (weather dependent)

Would any other low carbers like to meet up? looking for a (bulletproof) coffee or similar near banbury, even better if a few of us can get together :)

By following LCHF system how much of carb protein and saturated fat mono unsaturated and poly unsaturated fat required fora person. If the person do intermediate fast is it not effect his blood sugar level

After losing 10kg my BMI is as low as a person from Ethiopia!! Everyone tells me I have to gain weight, so I've upped my fats A LOT. Putting cream in everything and eating nuts and even fatty chicken instead of chicken breast. It seems to work really well, not so much for my weight yet, but for...

Busy prepping an IT rollout, when BBC news morning newspaper preview was on. I noticed that the front page of the Daily Express had something about Diabetes on it. I looked up the Daily Express online edition and found that the brilliant (in my opinion) Dr Sarah Hallberg had managed to get out...
