Hi all, yesterday some on you lovely people replied to my post in the "what was your fasting bg" as although my levels are coming down into the 5's, my weight had stalled. Well this morning I weighed myself and I've gained 2.5lb. I'm actually devastated as I've been so good.
I really don't know where I'm going wrong. I generally fast most days for 16/8 without even trying. I have little to no appetite, and a strange metallic taste...so although I don't test I'm sure I must be in ketosis? My general day is scrambled eggs with butter before work at 2pm. Then evening meal normally involves steak mince or chicken, as a DD meal or salad with oily tuna and cheese. Followed by sf jelly and cream.
Yesterday I only had 200 cals and 8grams of carbs....
I was going shopping this morning with some next vouchers I had, and thought I'd buy a nice summer outfit in a smaller size to motivate me (not that I needed motivation)...and now I'm feeling like why bother.
I know my main issue is keeping the T2 diagnosis away but I have 2 stone to loose as well. Sorry for long ramble, just don't know what to do now
