Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
OK I'm spraying this all over the Fora but I thought it sensible to put an entry in each major category to aid those who only look at a specific forum.
I've been a long term LCHF dieter with strong attempts to stay in ketosis.
However for several years I have continually struggled to get and keep my weight at or below 12 stone.
Two weeks with a Freestyle Libre strapped to my arm and I find that it acts as my conscience and tells me what is really going on with my BG levels 24/7.
Through taking notice I have lost 5 lbs in two weeks and hopefully will lose a bit more over the coming weeks.
The whole thing has been relatively painless as well, which suggests my previous problems have been mainly in my head.
So I would now recommend a Libre or two if you have a long term stalled weight loss campaign.
If, of course, you can afford to self fund.
