This might seem a daft question and maybe I should go and look in the book.
I've walked 4.5 miles ( about 450 calories ) this mooring . If I do 800 calories today that means my net calories add 350 for the day , is this to low or will it be ok. If I do this every day will my body think I'm starving ?
MFP is My Fitness Pal@ EdMac I feel fine and what you said makes sense..
@AndBreathe what does MFP stand for ?I tend not to add back calories either most of the time . I just wondered if a net of 350 was to low.
Now that's worth keeping up with!!!! Well done youHi All
Thanks for your replies. I have just finished week one on the 8 week blood sugar diet and I had my weigh in today. I have lost 6lb in a week which I'm pleased with and 1 inch off my waist. I know this sort of weight loss will not continue but it does give you a boost to continue with the diet. My blood sugars have definitely been better I'm now getting readings in the pre-diabetic range.![]()
Has your Vitamin D3 level been tested? Being deficient can block attempts at weight loss. Worked like a charm for me - started losing weight within a short time after starting supplementation.Help!!! Second weeks weigh in lost half a poundI have stuck religiously to less than 800 calories a day, stayed low carb. I know if you lose weight on a diet it tends to be the most in the first week, but this is disheartening. Blood sugars in the 7s all the time, I'd like them lower. Any ideas?

Hi, I did this twice (the second time systematically) and intend to do this again once I've finished my end of semester marking, followed up by a maintenance diet and up my exercise.Hi I was just wondering if anyone out there is on this diet. I have just started it on Monday and have lost 4lb already. My fasting bloods are down from 7.5 to 5.9 although they do fluctuate. I am finding it hard going as I'm craving bread especially in the mornings not too bad the rest of the day. If anyone else is doing this diet I would love to hear how you are getting on as I think I'm going to need a lot of support to do it for 8 weeks!
I'm going away for the weekend so I'm not sure how I'm going to cope with eating out!
Cheers

Hi Badass,I started diet 3 weeks ago against the advice of my diabetes specialist,although she has agreed to monitor test my bloods etcetera in 8 weeks. I am type 2 on insulin and have lost 13 pounds which is fantastic. My glucose readings have dropped significantly and I have reduced the medication considerably. On a good day I have not required any insulin as readings between 5.4 -7.0. On a no insulin day it is great freedom not having to worry about typos. I have also noticed a reduction in blood pressure .On the down side ketosis is meant to be a problem and the change from poor control to good control may initially have a detrimental effect if you have retinopathy problems so I am told. But I am going to stick with it as at the moment t feel great
