Hi TelandyDear Steve50 thank you for the encouragement, as I mentioned before I am based out of Switzerland and my family are in the UK, a 15 hour car ride door to door! Two. Milkshakes and a soup doesn't cut the mustard when you have to drive that distance! I will keep going as best I can and hopefully will see the figures come down, 7.2 was the measurement just now and I have had a 5.4 one morning a few weeks ago so I need to get back in the sixes. As you said we are all on our personal journey a unique group and I will try and post on a daily basis to inspire others and hopefully keep me on track! How are you getting on post ND?
I travel on the train and have developed a method for opening the shakes. I lift the foil lid just a little on one side - and stab a small hole on the opposite side to let the air in. It has become a ritual . I don't like the soups - except the ones I make myself - but wouldn't consider using these on the move. I do use the Slimfast bars - especially when I am away for work. They are car friendly.
But you probably also need a lot of energy to stay awake. Coffee is also my friend.
Post ND I seem to be doing ok. After a little weight regain, I have been able to keep my weight stable - but it is early days. I have not introduced a lot of carb, but I am noticing that I am sneaking in a few bits and pieces. Last night I had some cognac and a little chocolate. this morning my fasting bloods were 6.8 and weight exactly the same as yesterday.
I still think I need a structure. I know I cant do the ND again - for a while at least - but I am going to have a fasting day today. I'll also have another read of the legend who is Dr Fung - and I'll also take another look at the 5:2. I have been on the LCHF but not lost anything and am finding it quite bland. I love meat of course - but the LCHF gives you an uncomfortable feeling of satiation.
