[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2150884, member: 355878"] As I burnt all the diet sheets the day after diagnosis I don't have any to hand, but they were all about carbs - cereal with skimmed milk, baked potato, and baked beans make a good filling lunch, or a sandwich - and for dinner - well avoid red meat - pasta bake is good. For years if I had any reason to visit the doctor it was all about my weight, nothing else mattered - I went for years with a failing thyroid as all the symptoms were dismissed as being overweight, with all the negative assumptions which go with being seen as fat and lazy. The fact that I had been very muscular was never factored in, even though I worked as a roadie and could hoist a dead drunk guitarist off the floor any day of the week. I used to run around in the mountains quite a bit too. When my GP booked me in to do some exercise classes I missed a session and got a roasting - where were you that was more important than doing some exercise he asked. Kinder Scout, I said. At least that shut him up. [/QUOTE]
