I am now prediabetic on 45 mmol/mol and have been asked to lose weight. However I am only 12st7 to start with, and after a month I have lost very little despite a strict lchf diet. My target is 10st10. Has anyone a similar experience or advice to offer? Before my evening meal my blood glucose is 5.7 mmol/L.
 
I found that it did take about 4 weeks before I started losing weight, and then I lost 1-1.5 lbs a week. I went from 12st6lbs to 9st6lbs at one point but weight has crept up since then to 10st 6lbs.
I intend to start fasting again to get back down to around 10st.
 
If you have not lost weight on your 'strict' LCHF then you may have to take a look at your calorie intake. Generally speaking this is not needed on LCHF however especially if you eat a lot of nuts and cheese then this would be my next port of call. By the way when you say strict how many carbs per day are you on?
 
How strict is "strict" I try to eat less than 20g of carbs per day.. mainly by attempting to avoid them altogether.
I found weight loss quite easy but then again starting at nearly 23 Stone I had quite a lot to go!
