[QUOTE="douglas99, post: 693737, member: 38028"] I tried LCHF, it wasn't for me. As to the NHS route, I didn't need surgery, but worked with the NHS dietician, and developed a personalised low GI/GL diet, (portion control being key here, as obviously an unlimited 'eatwell plate' is never going to reduce BG or weight), then went down the Newcastle diet route for even more weight loss. It also created a major change in my eating habits, and gives me choice as to when I decide to stop eating, I can eat carbs, but don't suffer the 'carb cravings' others refer to, as to me, they're simply an amount of calories in my day, and my calories are self limited to my own set level. The other thing to consider, if you do need to convince the NHS you are committed to a weight loss program to be considered for surgery, it's doubtful LCHF would convince them, as it doesn't seem to be their diet of choice, as many on here with confirm from experience.
