Ah thank you, all great to know :) I'm aiming to go as low carb as I can from tomorrow to see if it helps with cravings while still fitting 1200 to 1300 calories and hopefully I'll see the weight come off soon enough, I did manage to lose weight on rather high carb but I was aiming to get more protein and working out 7…

wow :) The more I read the more I want to stick with low carb, I suppose having tests and showing my parents (and myself) if it really is making a positive difference is the only way to really bring them round, I'm hoping I can get tests done next week and then compare after a month or so of eating as low carb as possible,…
-
Thanks, I've seen it and there's no way my parents would even sit through it. But I will watch it again myself :)
-
Thank you, I will definitely ask on monday about both, even if they can't test for insulin resistance I might be able to get an idea of how likely it is, hopefully
-
Ok so since I know so little about cholesterol and the tests I've looked it up and it says that the blood test measures Total cholesterol. LDL (low density lipoprotein cholesterol). HDL (high density lipoprotein cholesterol) & Triglycerides (if it's helpful here's the link…
-
Ah perfect I have a doctors app. on monday so I can ask then :)
-
That is a really good point, I noticed my binging has worsened since I stopped taking fluoxetine. I'll check out your posts in the other group too, thank you :)
-
Thank you, very helpful :) 16g was what I ended up with when calculating macros using the website linked above, I'm not sure if it's quite right, I was trying to keep it 20g or less. Only using light stuff because it's in the house, once it's gone I'm getting full fat versions :)
-
Thank you for the help :) I think I've got my macros right now, I'm not sure how I'm going to stick under 16g of carbs but I'll give it my best and hopefully in time I'll actually stop craving sugar
-
yeah my protein is lower than normal today. I'm going to admit I have no idea about macros at all, my goals on here are just plucked from thin air pretty much I just tweak them every now and then
-
tried asking multiple times and I get the same response that it's not fair on my brother to not have it in the house
-
I think that's one I've had a look through before but even with all the evidence I'm still wary of fat I feel like I'm going to keel over if I eat so much but at the same time it's great to be able to eat
-
I fear them too now lol
-
Sorry I was in a rush to get this up and completely forgot to add that bit Lose fat while still retaining muscle and increasing strength if that is entirely possible if that helps
-
that sounds yummy, I burnt my bacon this morning :(
-
fried halloumi cheese? I would say corn on the cob but I don't think that is particularly low carb (or much of a 'snack' food) but it sure did look nice. egg mayo? if you make it like a little bacon wrapped ball thing maybe feta cheese, babybel, shredded chicken/turkey Mozzarella :) or low carb sausage meat?
-
My daily reminders are the success stories and the fact my belly is getting smaller (well it was when I didn't mess up anyway ;) ) But this thread has reminded me that other good reminders are my PCOS, the diabetes on both sides of my family and my heart condition, I'm hoping there will be benefits for my heart on this way…
-
Thank you again everyone :) This is all really helpful stuff and I love the website links, so much to chose from now... and I can't decide what to try first! I made 'KFC' today, only problem was I had to use corn flour cause I didn't have any alternative, so it was't as low carb as I'd prefer but I'm still under 50g. Also…
-
Ah I will have to try that and see if my cravings are any better, thank you :)
-
Be kind and be you, it's way more attractive and in time it will happen, for now focus on you and things that make you happy :)
-
Thank you :) I don't really miss the carbs (besides the odd potato and the really bad sugary junky carbs ;) ) as I've never been much of a pasta or bread fan but carbs were something I ate a lot because it was easy, sandwiches, crisps, chips, pizza etc. was all easy stuff to grab to eat, I'm just trying to find a way to…
-
thank you :)
-
Thank you :)
-
Thank you again :) I'll start out with coffee with cream and milk (and maybe some butter) it feels really weird to be eating cream/butter like that though. I did have a cream and whole milk protein shake today and it filled me really well, it was only because I felt like I was supposed to be eating and my stomach no longer…
-
until now I never considered adding chopped up bacon (first thing that popped into my head) to eggs and mayo but now I want to and multiple other meats thank you :)
-
Thanks :) I'm getting back into it tomorrow/from now really dropping my carbs back down, I can see the unpleasant effects of carbs on my stomach already, I think eating things like ice cream or even cereals is just going to cause cravings that I can't deal with (explains a lot about my previous eating anyway) as I'm a…
-
Never have, ever :)
-
Thank you :)

I'm watching this now and I think the best quote in it so far is 'Mother nature isn't stupid' Now to get my parents to actually watch something like this, it's pretty much if I try and suggest or discuss anything like this they are a little dismissive
-
good ideas thank you, I looked up the big fat surprise but I can't afford it right now, I'll have to see if my library or charity shops have any books. Anyone know of any non-biased online articles?
