LCHF isn't working.

[AloeSvea]

Ok, so I've been back on the HFLC diet for 10 days now.
Energy levels are getting a bit lower but my legs aren't aching again yet.
My weight looks as if it's gone up again when I look in the mirror, ( I never weigh myself).
No Idea how much but I can see a difference now.
So I must have been losing weight when I was on the HFLC diet.
It was hard to be sure as I had quite a bit to lose, ( about 40/50 lbs as an estimate).

Hindsight is a great thing but if only I'd have carried on I may have got through the bad spell.

Anyway I feel a lot more positive now knowing that what I was doing was actually working.

So just going to carry on as I was doing and hope for the best.

You meant that your weight went up after it had been going down? And you noticed once you went back to your old way of eating?

I prefer to measure my waist and hips than weigh myself, but weighing on scales does track those pesky kilos or two after trying out new foods or ways of eating. And certainly if you are going for a more substantial weight loss.

I didn't used to weigh or measure anything before diagnosis, so I understand resisting it. But it is a good idea if you are doing any kind of 'compare and contrast' experiment or trial for getting better with diabetes.

Good luck with your LCHF way of eating.
