[QUOTE="Kellrob, post: 814832, member: 158409"] Hi Guys, hopefully someone out there can tell me where i am going wrong with this. I have just been weighed and am feeling really down as i have put on another 1/2lb!. Sorry if this gets a bit long winded but here goes. I had a HBA1c result of 54 in December 2014. I began LCHF at beginning of February, almost immediately my blood sugar reading were great, readings of between 4.5 and no higher than 6, amazing. The first 2 weeks were exactly as described on this forum and on other sites i was getting LCHF info from. Then i started to add on 1/2lb here and there. I got mild flu and my blood sugars crept up to as much as 7.5. I understand that this was probably due to being not well and that i could accept. I have been well for a couple of weeks now and i have continued to put on weight and my blood sugars are not coming down at all. I realise that my blood sugar readings are what some people on this forum would love, but i dont understand why nothing is now changing. An example of what i am eating is - B/F scrambled egg and chopped up bacon or salami with a knob of butter, sometimes with grated cheese. Lunch - either home made soup with chicken stock, chicken, courgettes, onions, mushrooms, peppers or cold meats with salad, pickled onions, colslaw, cheese. - Dinner - either a breast of chicken or pork chop with green leafy cabbage, brussell sprouts and cauliflower with gravey.
