[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 2228503, member: 223921"] [USER=497550]@Quinn1066[/USER] I feel I must say something here I agree with [USER=488270]@SlimLizzy[/USER] you must be careful how you go about weight loss and not take it too far . After being on prednisolone for a long time I came to a point where I realised that I was diabetic and that the preds and my own natural inclinations had pushed my weight up to over eighteen stone. I became obsessed with losing weight and getting control of my blood sugars so for getting on for over two years I ate no more than 40 - 50 grams of carbs per day and kept my calories down to about 600 or so a day a true starvation diet yes I lost over eight stone my sugars are much lower now but I in this process I did my self an awful lot of damage brought a lot of concern and distress to my wife and family and have not fully recovered and probably will never fully recover from the harm I caused myself both physical and mental So I also would advise you to consult with your doctor about any further weight loss and any mental health problems you think may be caused by your need to lose weight easy to say I know but I wish I had taken more note of the opinions of my family and friends who thought I had gone way too far and whom I would at the time not listen to. I wish you well and hope you are able pick your way through the rather difficult path you seem to be travelling. [/QUOTE]
