[QUOTE="ketointheuk, post: 2214342, member: 469532"] Heres the issue: any health problem that showed via blood tests before embarking keto is no longer there. However my BMI is 35. I cannot genuinely fool myself into thinking since i'm "apparently" healthy otherwise this weight is acceptable. Apart from the 3 years doing keto before bulimia came back, I was this exact weight all my adult life. Well before the last 6kg crept on since september. In your experience then it is acceptable going to a private endo with a list of test to request? I am scared of having to fight and defend Low carb but I will if I have to. My GP confirmed to me the other day that even going private it's relatively common to do test prescribed either via the GP or directly at the hospital... I just hope not to be looked up and down and invalidated because i do low carb and have for such a long time... Thanks so much for sharing your experience, it is making me feel slightly better to not feel alone in this. I will absolutely keep you all posted. This situation is too weird to not report back anything I should find cause if by any chance there's anyone is a similar position I need to put anything I find out there in the hope no one else has to go through this stress :( [/QUOTE]
