Trying to find letter needed for G.P.

[GingerGoddess]

Hi Can anyone direct me to the letter to give your GP to tell them you are going on the 10 week LCHF diet please???? I found it once but can't find it now.

Hi @GingerGoddess welcome to the forum. Apologies but I didn't know there was a letter so can't help you there but why do you feel you need to give your doctor a letter before you start eating LCHF anyway?

Hi. I'm having problems logging in to low carb program right now. I think if you go to the top right of your dashboard, then there's your avatar and 4 icons. I think the download one is the icon 2nd from the left, if you click on that you should find the link to the letter, (but this is from memory so I could be wrong. ) @Giverny and @Administrator can I get back in there soon please?

You're right to print out the letter because your GP may know of some reason that LCHF may not be suitable for you personally.

Here is a copy of the letter @GingerGoddess. I know some people are having difficulties in accessing the Programme.

***I plan to start a reduced carbohydrate diet on XXXXXXX. This involves cutting out ‘added sugar’ and a gradual reduction in starchy carbohydrates such as bread and potatoes whilst eating more green vegetables. Also I will be eliminating ‘trans-fats’ often found in processed food and snacks. There will be a greater emphasis on home-cooked meals, portion size control and the healthier fats found in olive oil, nuts, eggs and butter.

The diet is not a high protein nor a crash diet. There will be no fasting and it is not a very low calorie diet.

Evidence suggests that associated weight loss may improve (reduce) blood pressure as well as helping my diabetes.

I will be following guidelines on www.diabetes.co.uk/lowcarb over ten weeks.

Please ask if you need to know any more and advise me whether you think I need to take any precautions before starting, or during the diet?

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope you agree with this plan to help me take better care of my health, and look forward to sharing my positive results in due course. ***

Hi Zand - thanks for letting us know. Is it still giving you problems?

We recently reached 100,000 members last week and the server went on a bit of a wobble. We've updated the LCP framework, so how is it now?
