Weight Loss Question

I also felt the odd one out on here as it seemed everyone was losing. So many success stories.
But out of the blue I started to lose. 3.5st loss too. I've readded 2st from having to stop metformin so I'm back to losing 1lb a week, if I'm lucky.
I woke this morning with better fbg due to increased basal insulin so my day started well.
Does your fbg look good every morning?

 

Well done on normalising your blood sugar, that's the most important thing.

I low carb medium fat, when I first started low carbing It was very easy to maintain a good bmi, now I'm a bit older I do limit my fats and watch my food intake, I don't snack, it is a bit more of an effort than it used to be. I also stick to 'healthy fats'. I have to make sure I don't eat from boredom/stress basically when I'm not hungry, otherwise the weight does go on low carb or not!

 

Yes and my weight is still dropping albeit more slowly now. My Doctor is aware of this rapid weight loss and says its ok to continue with the Duloxatine meds issued for neuropathy pain. Unfortunately Duloxatine does have its side effects at higher doses like loss of libido in some people particularly men. But considering the benefits of considerable weight loss and the pressure taken away from painful legs and knees from being over weight it has changed my life forever. I refuse to put the weight on again.

 

I am going to recommend you a Podcast too. Its is in American but does take a low carb, non diet approach and is a mix of motivation and science which you may find useful. Lots of useful stuff if you can get used to her accent! Its called Primal Potential https://primalpotential.com/

 

have you had any issues with loose skin?

 

Its in New Hampshire accent I think. Personally I find a Canadian accent much easier on the ear. I just find some of the food references need translating e.g. Twinkies and Thrive Market!
