Hi All.

Well it was all going so well until life got in the way. I managed to get to week 5 on the blood sugar diet and had my sugars down into the normal range. I managed to lose 9lb which was good and then it all went horribly wrong. It started when I had a weekend in London so very difficult to stick to 800 calories when you're out and about so my sugars went up just a little and I put on a couple of pounds not too bad all considered. Anyway got back on the diet then was invited to friends for the weekend no control over food another couple of pounds on! and sugars are now creeping up. Then it was mothers day help! out for more meals with family what's a girl supposed to do. We have just returned from another weekend away down in sussex and another couple of 1lbs on but the worst thing is that my sugars are back into the diabetic range again and although I've started back on the diet the sugars are not coming down this time Help!

I've been getting reading now in the 7 -9 first thing in the mornings with no sign of them coming down. I'm trying my hardest to stick with it but I feel at my age I don't want to put my life on hold and I want to enjoy life and not have to think about whether I should go away for a weekend or not.

The good news is I've lost 1lb bad news is sugars are still in the diabetic range first thing in the morning. I've got my 3 monthly blood test next week so will see what that shows.

Oh god I feel better now for sounding off.

Thanks everyone for listening. Onwards and Upwards as they say!

Well done
I want to try this diet but I'm wheat, gluten, dairy and nut free plus I can't eat a lot of raw fruits and vegetables. Has anybody with food allergies managed to do try this diet? I'm desperate to lose weight and control my sugars a bit better. Thanks in advance

I have avoided those foods for years. Very easy to do without them. Example
Breakfast is avocado or guac and celery
Lunch is lettuce wrap with some protein
Dinner salad and protein
I eat a variety of fish, Chex,turkey,beef,lamb,egg etc. some with mayo or Evoo
Snacks are pumpkin seeds or a few olives, celery, radish or raw mushrooms
I keep it very simple and pre cook proteins like cox and turkey in bulk and package in serving sized bags and freeze. Easy to dump on a salad or lettuce wrap

You know, your signature picture seems like happy grim determination and so are your messages.

I have the grim part down;k it's the determination part that doesn't quite compute

I genuinely don't understand this post. Can someone explain it to me? Cheers.
