[QUOTE="Phub, post: 2297156, member: 135068"] Recently got back on the low carb trail! Lost 28lbs so far. Still taking Metformin 'til the Doc advises otherwise. No more swollen legs, no more water retention and no more blisters for the Community Nurses to tend. My fluid retention cough is drying up too. I am still learning to walk again after an attack of Cellulitis took me off my feet last year, but around the house I dispensed with the walking frame. When they finally let me outside of my lockdown I am looking forward to walks again which I hope will help the diet and my weight problem. I am loving my low-carb foods and don't miss the bread, spuds, pasta and pastries. Most of which the Government told me were 'healthy'! Yeah! Right! In 1964 I left the RN, where among other things, I had taken a Physical Trainer's course. I didn't pass the course, but I picked up the habit of keeping myself fit. On demob, I felt as if I could walk through a brick wall! Now at 81, I am back to losing weight, I am looking for brick walls, so to speak. Moral of the story; don't believe everything the Government tells you! Best of luck everyone John [/QUOTE]
