[QUOTE="DanW13, post: 2367625, member: 531379"] Quick update 6 weeks on from original post, and the good news is my weight has slightly increased and generally been stable over the period. Currently 10st 5lb so a gain of 1lb compared to 6 weeks ago. So job done for now - mainly via swapping to high calorie/lower carb nuts - macadamia & pecans in particular. Also upping omelettes to 4 days a week, plus introducing things like low carb pesto sauce (high calories/good fats) that I can tip on leaner meats & fish to up the overall calories. Also 20g of 90% dark chocolate each day - delicious (love dark chocolate luckily). Seems to be working, just need to find out impact on blood sugar now, but will probably wait till March and then order another Libre. Bought some low carb bread incidentally from these guys, tasted amazing, as good if not better than normal bread. Just had a plain chicken sandwich with butter for lunch yesterday, amazing to taste nice bread again, may have some toast with melted butter next, something I’ve really missed! Limiting myself to 1 slice a day though as still has some carbs. [URL]https://www.freedough.co.uk/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
