[QUOTE="jpscloud, post: 1989538, member: 232698"] Welcome LCHFForever! I spent much time in denial and still have to catch myself before I slip back into it fairly often. Like you, I discovered LCHF and read up on it but that's fairly recent, so it's still quite new to me. When I make a choice I research it as fully as I can, and I've settled on LCHF with intermittent fasting. I am also surprised that GPs and DNs don't seem to know or understand this very effective tool. For motivation there's nothing like reading and posting on the forums here, at least for me. I post what I'm up to and it helps me feel a little bit accountable - although I also post about lapses and own whatever happens - the encouragement from others is fantastic. I don't know if you use dietdoctor - [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/[/URL] but I'm finding that very helpful. I also use a ketone meter when I'm on track with LCHF and intermittent fasting, and although the strips are horribly expensive, it really does motivate me when I see that I'm registering ketones and therefore burning my fat! You don't have to test all the time, I do one or two a day, and not at all when I know I'm not in ketosis. I also use a BG meter, but you can get combo monitors like the on call duo. My bg meter links to MrSugr, and I love data to help keep me motivated too. My aim is to take on more extended fasts, as I believe this will give me the best chance of improving insulin sensitivity and losing weight. It's half term for me now, so I really need to do damage limitation and make sure I don't fall off the wagon too much. I'll keep you company! I can't help with the vegetarian side of things but there is a vegetarian sub-forum on the Food and Nutrition forum. There are bound to be some people doing veggie LCHF. Very best of luck! [/QUOTE]
