Cut carbs and up the fats.. I lost 8 stone doing that along with some fasting. Low fat just makes you hungry and so give up. Fat provides satiety so you are less hungry. Shame that you don't eat meat as that's the best source of fat and protein however butter and cheese are great as well as avocados.
Eggs are a staple for many who LCHFThank you. Good to know what has been working for others. Diabetes won’t tempt me back to eating meat, but it’s manna from heaven that cheese is back on the menu. I genuinely went through a period of grief when I had to stop eating it cos of my high cholesterol.
I might just have a cheese soufflé for tea in celebration
It's not beyond you. It feels like a lot, and hey, it IS a lot... Everything you thought you knew, about food, about your own body, has been turned on its head. And a lot of this stuff goes straight against advice from docs and dieticians, because there's no way they can keep up with current research, so a lot contradicts... But I do hope you're taking away one very important thing from all these replies people are making: There's hope. It can be done. People are doing it. And they want to help you do it, if you want help with it, of course. Meals could look like this:
Scrambled eggs with mushrooms, a couple of cherry tomatoes and cheese. Or eggs whipped up with with cream, some erithyrol, cinnamon, with a few berries and some coconut shavings on the side and some extra cream on top. Or Full fat greek yoghurt with walnuts, coconut shavings and berries.
Green salad with tuna, capers, mayo and olives sound good? Or leafy greens with lukewarm goat's cheese, vinaigrette, couple of diced cherry tomatoes (in moderation!). Avocado to taste in either salad.
Salmon or something similar for dinner with cauliflower- or broccoli-rice with more cheese tossed in. Snacks? Walnuts, pecans, cheese, olives, extra dark chocolate (Lindt 85% is really good. 2 squares will be enough to cover chocolate cravings.). I really enjoy selery sticks with a little bit of hummus. Not too much, as there's peas in there, but perk for you: there's peas in there.
It's do-able. It really, really is. And what about the testing is doing your head in? Anything we can help with?
Oh my. Think of all the cheeses.Thank you. Good to know what has been working for others. Diabetes won’t tempt me back to eating meat, but it’s manna from heaven that cheese is back on the menu. I genuinely went through a period of grief when I had to stop eating it cos of my high cholesterol.

has anyone recommended www.dietdoctor.com if not they have some great low carb recipes and have a veg section as well.
Oh wow I can relate. I like to think I’m a smart person but the weight, brain fog and body pain has held me back.This is a list of gorgeousness I’ve been denying myself for years. Apart from the erith thing. I have no clue what that is. And yes, not only do I clearly need the help, I’m very willing to accept it too.
My body is and continues to be the single biggest disappointment in my life. I’ve been able to turn my hand to any and every problem I’ve ever faced. Apart from this one. I’m not joking when I say my body is my enemy. It holds me back. I hate it and if I could function without it, I gladly would.
Oh my. Think of all the cheeses.
Sometimes whe Mr Hotpepper is out for a evening I make a cheese board with olives and sour pickles for dinner.
Cheese makes everything better. Even wineBest not tell me where you live otherwise I’ll be knocking on the door. A few years ago I celebrated losing a stone by having a cheese party. It was one of the best nights of my life

It was so frustrating. But now you know what needs to be done! Not every day will be a success but you can come here and find support.
Can’t tell you how much I appreciate your kind and encouraging words. Though you may yet regret saying that. I’ll be relentless til I’ve got this under control lol x
This forum is fantastic. I can honestly say it saved my life. I was in a pretty dark place mentally and physically.
There is always someone here to answer questions.
Because I am very fat, have always been fat and have been trying to lose weight since I hit puberty. I am currently 5 and a half stone overweight
Yeah this just gets worse and worse. Grapes, bananas and peas are my top 3 of my 5 a day. I pretty much eat them every day.
I’m gonna need therapy
take a look at cronometer, you can set up various health markers and even make up your own. tts particularl keto/low carb freindly and the base version is free.Lol, yes, I *might* have already started building my own. Gone through every app I can find but can’t find one that tracks everything and helps me to build my understanding of the relationship between what I’m eating and the various metrics/indices.

Erythritol... It would help so much if I remembered how to spell it correctly!This is a list of gorgeousness I’ve been denying myself for years. Apart from the erith thing. I have no clue what that is. And yes, not only do I clearly need the help, I’m very willing to accept it too.
