Butterfly, thanks for the encouragement. The ND is 800 calories a day. I lost 16lbs in first two weeks and have reduced my BG to 6.1 and no longer take any of my many meds for T2, bp, acid reflux and cholesterol.
Chalup, thanks for the reply and it does make sense what you say. I wondered myself, but couldn't correlate the weight increase with any particular increase in fluid intake.
Will have to see how things pan out.
Indy51 - Thanks for the message. I certainly feel like an addict, wanting my low GI bread fix lol
It's doing my crust in! (See what I did there? Lol)
Terra - I use 3 Astral shakes, Vamilla in morning, Strawberry for lunch and Chocolate in the evening. That totals 300 calories. Then in the evening I have a non-starchy vegetable meal. So for example I had Aubergine, Broccoli, onion, Asparagus, chopped tomatoes and Cumin/salt/pepper, all cooked in vegetable stock to make a moussaka without the potatoes, cheese or meat.
It was only 156 calories but quite filling. So I will have some carrots with a fat free vinaigrette which will bring me up to around 500 calories for the day.
Don't want to be eating too late though as wondering if this may effect weight loss. Haven't used too many appetite suppressants. It's only the GI bread I am struggling with. Not missing anything else.
Lost half a pound this morning and BG still 6.1
