10 years type 2, over one year on LCHF, no more metformin and statins. Low dose blood pressure meds and an aspirin a day.
So after a year on LCHF I have made good progress. 20 Kg gone, down to 75Kg, ideal weight 70 Kg, walk 5 Km each day and so feel generally much healthier.
I have 2 problems (ignoring the neuropathy in my feet which refuses to go away)
1) My weight loss has stalled for several months. No matter what I try - eat less, eat more carbs (fruit), tried intermittent fasting etc the last 5 Kg just wont budge
2) I don't have the energy and strength I used to have and that others mention frequently. I am asleep very early in the evenings after trying hard not to doze off early evening, I can sleep 10 hours easy with 1 or 2 toilet excursions. Finally my strength I've noticed is now very poor, especially noticeable in my legs. Getting up from a squat position is very difficult.
What can I do to get back on track?
I've considered supplements but have never had any luck with them before, and I don't know what, if anything, I could be deficient in.
Help!
