High fat, low carb diet

i am slightly worried you should be varying your diet a little more too, theres alot more you can have, do you like nuts? cheese? other veg? jelly and cream?
 
yeah lol i was just thinking the same thing, sorry i keep thinking of more stuff

ok ill edit this from now on no matter how far out of sync i get lol
 
Yes, so far I've been eating the exact same thing every day. This diet is very restrictive. No white vegetables allowed. No starchy vegetables. No milk or diary products. No fruit. And of course no flour, rice, pasta. The only things allowed are what I've been eating. It's very important to eat the bacon, salads and grapefruit juice ---that is what makes the diet work.
 
Can we clarify from your comments you have other health problems that means you can not eat other items or are you just like us a normal T2?
 
errrr, not as far as i know, it sounds like dodgy advice tbh can you put up a link to the site where you read that please? the first problem with that advice is that with the grapefruit juice it isnt actually low carb

can you tell us exactly what juice your drinking please so i can have a look at it?

It's pink unsweetened grapefruit juice.
 
That isnt the problem l would kick the whole thing out the window. Go onto a proper high fat low carb diet the basics are in the low carb diet forum under Vivs modified Atkins Diet. Have a life style change use the diet for life not a quick kick down. Nothing works properly unless you change your life's diet.
NOOOO please dont tell me you are on statins and grapefriuit juice. i dont know if it applies to all statins but grapefruit juice is extremely dangerous please stop the juice until you have checked on contra indications it can actually kill you
 
Ok I can see where the "problem" is the difference between what Andy and l and many people do and yourself and other folks is we have changed our life style and food intake to a low carb high fat long term (for life) but not as a short term diet
So our food is as balanced as we can get it as opposed to a short term (10 day?) set of meals.
Long term yours would not be healthy as many short term diets are not.
The weight loss, lower cholesterol and general benefits come naturally with the foods we have chosen to eat. For us it is not a diet hence our advice is different to what you are doing.
 
there is a section on the site referring to the different diet options miss crump.its worth a look at

Yr right MID. Grapefruit in any form does not mix with statins - I know

what we think of as lchf is different to the advice you seem to have been given, that dosent mean lchf isnt a great way of eating but as far as im concerned its better as a lifestyle not a fad diet, as MID said, please consider having a look at our type of lchf lifestyle diet , it will help out your db and your weight loss :)
