First Steps

[zand]

Newbies come in all shapes and sizes. We don't all want to move at the same pace. The low carb program on this site is really good for those who want to take things slowly, but I feel the forum should offer a good mix of info so there's something for everyone. When I was a newbie I had already cut out the big white carb items before diagnosis and needed to know how to progress to the next step. If something was too confusing I left it and went back to it. I feel it's important we share what helped us.

No - I stopped taking the Metformin and statin after about 5 weeks - my quality of life was such that if I continued I'd have been suicidal.
I went to do the Christmas shopping and could not remember where I'd parked the car, and when I opened the back I found I had already done the shopping - we were eating sprouts till February.
The side effects have reduced but not gone away. I can laugh now when it takes three goes to get a plate out of the cupboard but am rather sad when I forget that my daughter was expecting me to visit her.

well hopefully the after effects won't last too long. good luck with the efforts !
