Hello everyone. I'm new on here and desperate for advice.
My hba1c was 40 (normal), but my fasting glucose levels are between 6.3 and 6.8 mmol/l (pre diabetic). Glucose levels 2 hours after eating healthily are around 6.4. So.... I wonder why my hba1c is showing normal?
My BMI is 30.2 and I have been trying to lose weight for the last 6 weeks and not lost an ounce. I can't understand why. I've been eating low carb, highish fat and protein, plus tons of green veggies. Only have the occasional half banana with full fat Greek Yoghurt and seeds for tea sometimes. For the last 7 days I have strictly followed the 800 calorie Blood Sugar Diet and upped my exercise. Still no weight loss or reduction in blood glucose levels! I'm at my wits end.
I have a problem with constipation- despite tons of veggies - and the only solution is to have 30g of All Bran a day with almond milk and a few berries for breakfast. I know that's carbie, but I don't know what else I can do.
I am just over 2 stone overweight and have a fatty liver and gastric reflux (GORD), all of which would be improved with weight loss. But I just don't seem able to lose weight- believe me, since starting dieting I have NOT cheat, I'm not a secret eater, I weigh all the relevant ingredients in recipes and have not had any carb binges (except for the All Bran for breakfast).
Help please with all my questions! Thank you
