Had my blood result again today - still 6.9....Try this video, very interesting about lc, could be a bit heavy but worth keeping going.

Mazzers - I do hope things start improving for you.

Take care all.

Oh i like him too, full of good info.

I wish you'd all stop worrying about the scales. :rolleyes:

Your weight will fluctuate due to monthly hormones, my weight is up and down like a yoyo, but i usually go by the weight on the first or second day of totm, when water retention has been released.

It has generally been on a downward trend.
Hi to gotogal :wave:

Serena, only just read the link, i tried IF a few months ago, was easier than i thought, but it didnt do anything to help my weight loss
That could've been cos of the high BG thing tho.

A lot of people swear by it.

I have a link but its on my laptop and i'm using my friends at the mo.

I'll post it if you want to read it, there are loads of Q&A's on there, by folk that have tried or want to try it, but it'll have to be when my new lappy cable arrives.

I thought you might be interested in what a LC diet has done for my cat! Last year she was quite overweight and her teeth were very badly scaled - the vet wanted to anaesthetise her and clean them but my sisters dog had just died of that so I was very reluctant. My other cat eats 'wet' catfood and has no weight or teeth problems whereas this one has always eaten only the dry food - I bought one of the expensive brands, not the cheapo stuff. Anyway, when I looked at the ingredients it was clearly a lot higher in carbohydrate and lower in protein than the wet stuff - 'rice and chicken' rather than 'chicken and rice'. It seemed mad that I was feeding a carnivorous animal on a high carb diet when I was lcing myself, so I stopped the dry food and made her switch. She didn't like it at first, but got used to it in a week or so. A year later she has just been back to the vet; she is no longer overweight and one side of her mouth is completely cleared up and the other side is just 'a little scaled' - when the vet looked back at the previous year's notes she was clearly taken aback at the difference.

Given that adverts often recommend dry food as keeping the teeth cleaner because of the greater friction of chewing it, this is a pretty amazing recommendation for a LC diet, I think!

welcome GTG im sure with your positive attitude you will get your goal this month.

six lovely story made me smile. I know this is the best way to eat problem is ive gotten into a bad habit of swallowing carbs for the pass 25 years. :S when i have children im gonna not let them consume carbs on a daily basis. Cavemen only ate meat and veg so where did we get all this bread and chips from?

Cant stop munching on nuts but i cant thinking to myself its better than a bar of chocolate and a packet of crisps anyday. Someone tell me im not just lying to myself? :S

you are not lying to yourself!

Just watch which ones you munch on, some have far more carbs than others
