Hello all, I know there have been a couple of threads on this topic and good you don't mind considering my topic.
Nearly 6 weeks as T2 and immediately went LCHF but even though I'm trying, I'm finding it difficult, my husband who is supporting me diet wise and well is also heavy is showing alongside me and the children are following too.
Problems come up because the baby refuses the good and even if I gave had something different she won't eat it because we are not eating it and several times I've a had a distressed husband at lunchtime wondering what to eat. I have also stated skipping meals because I don't fancy the good anymore and some of the options I would never eat.
So, I've had a little demon during in my shoulder the last few days reminding me of my success when I was doing Slimming World a few years ago. We were in the extra easy plan and both lost a couple of stone for it wedding and it was indeed easy. The problem is the plan does contain carbs. If done correctly which I think I done before, measurements are crucial but nevertheless it would be a lot more than I'm on now.
I know I have to think of myself but this would also eliminate the dinner struggles with the children as we would all be eating the same. I've seen another plan recommended on some posts to use the Red/Original plan but that is no longer supported and literature is hard to come by.
The other thing is that I would have to reverse all I have learnt including giving up my new found friend Greek yoghurt and garlic butter basically going back to low fat! But I do have a new love of vegetables...in butter of course!
Of course if I made the diet I I would test along the way and would have to allow for a period of adjustment in readings but what do you think? Maybe worth a shot again to loose weight and gain back my harmonious dinner times...or am I still in denial about what having diabetes means to me?
