Hi It is the carbs that turn into sugars, but on the labels ignore the 'of which is sugars' I'm sure someone will explain this.

Looks like they have already or sent you in the right direction. 'Bluetit again'

Hi mossy,don't worry ,it is a lot to take in , you have done well and will get more used to making your own diet , in the meantime ...:) :) :) happy christmas
 
Morning Mossy,

Yes, I agree. Don't panic. It will all fall into place soon. Baby steps and deep breaths. You are doing very well, just keep posting and asking questions. Read when you have time.
 
6.2 fasting morning test

7.6 -2 hours after bacon scrambled egg toms and mushrooms
 
6.4 before tea and 2 hours after 7.7 only 2 meals again today as my sleep is still ****
 
how do u guys cope with this ive gone from not eating much anyway to eating whats right and i feel like **** had permanent headache today and dont have much energy to do anything most of the week but hey ho its like everything i guess you got to get used to it

just want a diagnosis now sick of waiting
 
Just be patient and see it through, it will be worth it mate, I assure you.
Have a look at the success stories on the site to give you a bit of encouragement.
 
if you have cut your carbs, you also lose excess fluid, you may need to add some salt, try a teaspoon in a glass of water, if you feel better in an hour, that's it
are you having what seems a ridiculous amount of fat's oils? cut an inch off a block of butter, see if that helps, I ate coconut oil by the spoon the first week, carb craving sucks
you can also add some protein which some will turn to glucose

i hate salt one thing i do hate

i dont no if its all the stress or whats going on with me but i cant take info in have to keep checking and food wise feels like we aint allowed to eat anything but saw dust lol
 
put a teaspoon in one litre of LC cordial hide the taste, you cut a lot of salt when you stopped the processed trash

cook yourself some steak and eggs with lc veg and a big dob of butter
make a stew with 1/4-1/3 meat and LC veg and some beans, peas..1/4 inch of fat floating on top, eat as much as you want to

You are going through one of the stages of getting control.
Hey mate, I have to low carb! I don't have a choice! I look at it this way!
If I want a future life healthier and fitter then I have to do this cos I don't want to put my family through what some of my relatives have by leaving us to soon because they couldn't control their lifestyle.
I have lost two brothers thanks to diabetes and cancer. Both in their fifties! Brother in law to alcoholism when in his early thirties.
I can't do that, I'm not that selfish.
You will, once in control, look back and see how negative you sound and you do need a change in lifestyle mate.
Keep posting and asking questions, we are here to help you through this. You know you can do it!

lc low carb, the sweets suck and give you a lose tummy

gett the cocoa powder out and make 1/2 water 1/2 cream, hot chocolate drink ..use vanilla concentrate/essence and I add a drop of peppermint essence..start with a little of everything, you can add but you can't take out..virtually no carbs..after you finish it..have another one

Sorry to hear that! I am struggling financially myself, having to put in more hours all the time at my age, can't claim for my wife, who's practically housebound on pain meds etc.
worked all my life never claimed when you need help, they forget about you and don't care!
Things will get better mate, they have for me, I know words are easy, but the last thing I would do is let the situation get the better of you!
I'm a fighter, I won't give in! Nor should you!
Best wishes mate, keep posting,
Vent it on here, I do, it helps!
