[QUOTE="eggs11, post: 1775286, member: 468168"] Hi [USER=470516]@mastrs[/USER]! I did The Blood Sugar Diet by Dr Michael Mosley, based on The Newcastle Diet research, for a couple of months and it kick started my weight loss nicely - if you haven't got a copy I'd recommend it. He goes into detail of the causes of diabetes and recommends a 'lowish carb' Mediterranean-style diet for both the rapid weight loss period and later when you are upping your calories again - I like accessible way he has written the book and made everything really easy to follow. I also recommend, if you are on very low calorie diet for a while, this book, which has some great meal ideas: [URL]https://www.amazon.co.uk/Carbs-Cals-Calorie-Recipes-Plans/dp/190826120X/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1525786180&sr=1-4&keywords=cals+and+carbs[/URL]. These are just a couple of things which helped me as well as LCHF - good luck with your continued weight loss, sounds like you are off to a great start! As others have mentioned above - a blood sugar monitor will put your mind at rest as to where your sugars are now. I got a bit of tingling/pins and needles when starting out, and I think in my case it was my nerves healing from previous damage. [/QUOTE]
