Message: <blockquote data-quote="Brunneria" data-source="post: 775095" data-attributes="member: 41816">I've just had a weight loss plateau of about 4 months.  But I still class myself as slowly losing weight (on LCHF) because in the last year I have lost 21 lbs, stopped losing in October, then last week, unexpectedly, another 4 lbs!But I never expected to lose weight.  for me, it is all about the blood glucose.After years of insidious, steady, slow weight gain, I take the view that stable blood glucose and stable weight is a triumph.Losing any weight at all is a bloomin miracle.And (this is a very important point) just because the bog standard basic tests run by your doc haven't turned up a hormone problem doesn't mean that you haven't got one.I was undiagnosed for about 15 years, then an enlightened doc (at a family planning clinic, of all places) decided to check a few things, and voila! weird hormone shenanigans an unusual diagnosis, and suddenly consultants are nodding understandingly and congratulating me if I lose even a pound in weight.Its quite refreshing, after decades of doctors patronising me about failing to slim down, and blaming every weird symptom on my inability to use a modicum of self control...</blockquote>
