[QUOTE="Flak, post: 2049284, member: 504351"] 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 early morning fasting test, one two hours after breakfast and one before bed. I can't have my next Hba1C test until after 6th June, which will be exactly three months from my last when my result was 44. Hopefully it also will be in the normal range! I have to say it has been hard and I have not enjoyed this way of eating, but I guess needs must. I have taken all of the advice given here and from my Dr and am now [B][U]not[/U][/B] going to count calories but instead remain low carb and increase good fats and protein. I am going to allow my carbs to increase from the 20g a day that I have been on and slowly increase on a weekly basis to around the 50g a day mark and see if I remain within tolerances at that. With that in mind, I have been looking for some low carb high protein bread that I can eat, and have discovered [URL='http://www.livlifefoods.co.uk/']www.livlifefoods.co.uk[/URL] which is just 3.8g of carbs and 68 calories a slice. It is sold in the UK by Waitrose and Morrisons. I have bought a loaf today and have had my first piece of bread and butter for eight weeks! I know that this is very subjective, but it tastes to me very good! Obviously you can't go mad with it, but it is the lowest carb, commercially available bread I have been able to find here in the UK. I will be interested to know what others think? [/QUOTE]
