Fried - soft yolk !

I eat at least two duck eggs a day - here in the UK, eggs are considered close to a nutritionally optimum food ! My cholsterol was also summarised as 'excellent' last time it was checked.

Way to go to minimise the achievement !

If you are getting dizzy and feeling weak, I would really encourage you to bump up your wholegrain/veggie based carbs a little bit. You might also want to add some salt to your meals. At 2 weeks and in my experience, your body is still sorting itself out wrt ketosis so I would either reduce the weight being lifted and/or…

Hello felllow Keto'ers - or Med style with low'ish levels of carbs :) I lost 40lbs in 3 months and it was/is sustainable. Things I would suggest for newbies include : 1. If you have been eating a high carb diet for some time and its more from added sugar rather than wholegrain carbs, then perhaps taper down your carbs over…

Good for you for getting back on to it - please be kind to yourself. x

I am an intermittent volume eater - I can eat huge piles of roast veg (around the 400g mark !)

Hi there - are you weighing and logging your foods ? I am a Keto fan but you still need to keep an eye on calories. The reason its a great diet for some is that is naturally represses your appetite, reducing your calorie intake and giving the sense of being able to 'eat as much as you like'. If you are like me and a total…

Hi OP - I am not surprised you are upset ! The good news is you knew something wasn't right - that trainer has showed you just how much they don't know, so steer clear and ignore the muppet. x

A little harsh, especially when you read the responses above yours.....

Welcome OP ! you are in the right place ! Have you got your stomach issues diagnosed and/or under control ? If not, you might log those issues here too at the bottom of the food tab and you may start to see a pattern along with weighing and logging your diet as it is today. Perhaps as a next step you could start swapping…

I think Med is a good choice because it gives lots of choice :) its very low in added sugar and you can adjust the macros to suit your preferences. My diet would look Keto'ish but its Med with relatively low carbs. I moved to the Med (Italy) late last year and their approach to portion control (eating out and buying in…

Mine was diagnosed as very low and I had your symptoms and a few more - hairloss and dry skin being two. I took an OTC daily liquid supplement that I sprayed under my tongue, preferring this to the weekly hit. Mine were back in the zone in under 3 months. For those who are avoiding sun due to the risk of sun damage, I dont…

Hello OP - the change to a sucessful way of eating is finding the one that works for you. It really does need to be sustainable. I dont claim to be a KETO'er bcos they tend to get upset when I say to OP's you can up your carbs beyond 20g NET or even 50g and still get the benefits of Keto (appetite supression, less rumbly…

Now thats what I am talking about !! The last time I ate courtesy of the NHS was over 20 years ago - by all accounts its got way worse :( Staff are always lovely though - makes you wonder how they turn up for works sometimes..... I live in Italy now - I would assume i would be able at the very least to get some decent…

Hello OP and well done on the 5lb off so far ! Do you think you are drinking enough ? Light dehydration can easily be missed and thought of as hunger or tiredness ?

I'm a volume eater too ! Thing is, that used to include fats which is how I chubbed up in the first place ! I do love fats and if there is one food group I will be weighing for the rest of my days, its fats.

I suppose we can't complain too much about the NHS when we dont pay beyond our general tax...Being a nosey type I would love to know how it compares with Holland ! I remember seeing an article about a womans food diary after giving birth in a Japanese hospital - food looked amazing !!! I've had worse Japanese food than…

Part of the forums is that people sometimes generalise or reference their often extensive (and quality) experience of other threads. Although this may be relevant in a more abstract debate about what someone has or hasnt done and why, it may not actually be relevant to the you, the OP. I cannot tell you how many OP's ask a…

I couldnt eat fat for at least a year before the Op (lost loads of weight but felt awful). In the UK, they like to ensure you are eating before you go home. My choice ? Cheese omelette ! Probably one of the worst cheese omelettes on the planet (sorry NHS !) but it was still wonderful ! The only time I've had problems with…

Congrats on the weight loss OP ! You've gone all out to get informed before you start which was good thinking. There is always a lot of judgement / side eye on these forums, especially if you arent doing what other people think you should. Ultimately, your life, your choices ! Again, well done !

Hello OP - I had mine out in my 20's (loooooong time ago), keyhole surgery. It took a month before being on public transport didnt make the gap where my GB used to be, feel a bit ick. It was definitely impact related ick that took longer than expected to go away, I wasnt doing weights at the time but suspect anything where…

Well done on the weightloss AND more importantly, finding a way of doing it that works for you !

Same here - isnt it liberating ?!

You look great as does your 4LF - mine keep me doing 10k steps a minimum every day too !

You go girl ! Nice arm tone and very nice dress !

Hi both - I hit the T2 markers in February and also did the Blood Sugar diet - apart from still being fat :) my markers are now back in the normal range. Reversing T2 is not possible for everyone but it is possible, esp if you are relatively new to the issue. I started at 800 calories NET and that got nearly 40lb off in 13…

500-600 calories after a 3 mile brisk dog walk - timing wise, tends to bring brekkie and lunch together but absolutely looks like a brekkie which is my favourite meal.

Thats an awful lot of fat to eat........(still think its yummy though)

Hi OP - When I go low(er) carb, I am usually around 100g (net) carb with sugar less than 20g per day. This with a brisk 10k walking steps every day keeps my in ketosis. I dont eat meat, but I do eat fish, eggs and dairy. Heck, I even have toast :) I am assuming you want to lower your carbs to reduce your appetite wihc in…
