Message: <blockquote data-quote="Goldiespring" data-source="post: 989016" data-attributes="member: 204384"><p>I have been low carbing (less than 100g a day on a bad day and less than 60 usually) since the beginning of Sept. My BS are in the normal range more frequently than not and I have lost 20Kg. I still have a lot of weight to lose. but I cannot believe how little I am eating in comparison to other diets and I am not always hungry or craving - most days my calorie intake is around 1,100 and I usually have to scrat around to find things to eat to get it to that point. Side effects of low carbing - vision less blurred, boundless energy, staying awake when watching TV, no swollen ankles, no palpitations, no swollen hands, breathlessness gone, overheating and sweating much less frequent. Carb cravings have subsided and I can sit in front of a tray of freshly baked school kitchen fruity flapjacks for a whole meeting and not want one - I know it would make me feel horrendous. I miss bread and baked goods, but am now experimenting with baking my own low carb goodies so I don't have to feel deprived. Worked out all types of veg roasted are better tasting than potatoes and don't make me ill! Courgette spaghetti is tastier than pasta and cauliflower rice is divine! You just have to give them a go. Can you tell that I'm an enthusiastic convert to this way of eating?! I would almost go as far as to say I am glad I was diagnosed because low carbing has not just changed my illness it has changed me. My only reservation is that I am now a diet bore!</p></blockquote><p></p>
