Several people on the forum have mentioned this book - so I thought I'd buy it and see what it had to offer.
Having finished reading it through yesterday - it does seem to make sense. I've been following a LCHF diet since June (when I was first diagnosed) and lost 30 pounds (a third of what I ned to lose!!) but BS readings in the mornings are still high -around 7 or 8 and weight loss is slowing down recently.
I think I may have been eating too much fruit and this might have impacted on BS levels. I've also been leaving more than 5 hours between eating and according to this book, that doesn't help BS levels either.
So I thought I'd start with Stage 1 from the DM book for the next 8 weeks - just to see what happpens.
Is anyone else doing this? - if so, do you have any more ideas for breakfasts and suggestions for the 5 grams of net carbs that can be eaten with main meals and at bedtime?
I'd really like some advice and suport from others who've done this or from anyone who's thinking of starting so we could go through it together!
Please let me know. Thanks so much. T x
