I have been doing the lchf diet for about 4 weeks and am happy with the reduction in insulin I've been able to make. I enjoy my breakfast which is porridge (not low carb I know ) but it isn't pushing up my bs by too much. The problem is I have no appetite for the rest of the day. I am married to a man who loves my cooking but I don't fancy anything and he gets cross when I don't eat. I know it's because he's worried about my health.
I have found that I get a lot less hungry since starting LCHF. It feels as if I could drift on all day without bothering about food. This is a huge change from the past, when though not over-weight, I was always thinking about where my next meal or snack was coming from, and how soon! However, I do think I should eat, as I am now very thin and also I am trying to build up my muscles. I find that if I prepare something and begin eating, suddenly my enthusiasm picks up and I am keen to finish it. On the other hand, if I do start to feel I've had enough I don't push myself to go on. I have the impression that just leads to bloat and a high bg.
PS I'm not on Metformin.
