I think you should be careful about keto diet if diabetic for the reason you have given.

I'm not into quorn but they do a lovely fake meat ball that's lovely with anything tomato and pasta. Beans wise I'd go through them all and find your fav.

It really depends on how long you are freezing them for. Freezing will draw out water over time so the longer your bagels are frozen the less they will weigh over time. But this will be nominal so don't worry and as others suggest if it really bothers you weigh prior to freezing. The average will be fine though. Good luck.

Skyr is another great source of protein and also low fat. Lovely mixed with half a mashed up banana.

Increase your activity may boost your energy out part. It's so frustrating when this happens. Good luck you have done great!

I really worried about this too but then see some of the people who lose 100lb plus and look fantastic even with lose skin. Good luck.

41lb, but first half of that was very quick as I'd made myself unwell through being overweight so long. Once that settled I increased calories and the loss is more steady.

Fantastic!

Back in May I found all my evenings of binge eating was making me sick. Fat and bread products were giving me pain and nausea dispute having my gallbladder out 2 yrs previously. With high blood pressure and at 18 stone 4lb I realised it wasn't good. Anyway I'm now 38lb lighter and feel more energetic. Bp is now normal and…

So is that you a Munro bagger now?

Well done.

Congratulations on your exercise and eating plan. I'm curious though why eating within 30 minutes of waking is beneficial, or is it just so you have energy for your morning? Hope you continued success.

This is just the thing that has been on my mind. I do so well at eating healthily until I'm on my own for any length of time. I think the idea of thinking about willpower as learning new sets of habits really interesting and for myself I will certainly try to do this...slowly. Thanks.

Hi Susan. Thanks for your reply. I now have around 90lb to lose. I'm 5 foot 8, 53 years old (not sure if that counts) and weigh a hefty 17 stone 4lb. I've been here before so also know how easy it is to fail at reducing intake. I work at the moment around 50 to 60hrs a week and it is quite busy so I will probably do as…

Thank you for your replies and advice. I think settling in mid range is a good idea so will give it a go. Yes need to chill out and I will look up corticortisol and its impact. Thanks againx

Menopause unfortunately can trigger hair thinning, but you look way to young for that.

Hope it's not too late to join! I will try not to eat after 8.30pm. Life long battle of diets failing due to evening eating. Day 1..wishing myself luck, distraction the and lots of willpower. Hope your all doing well.

Im feeling like that now. Over the last six months ive tried repeatedly to get more protein to help lower carbs slightly. I get quite sick feeling. I suppose it could be the drop in carbs but its not that dramatic but the increase in protein is more so. Sits in my stomach like a lump of lead

wow, brilliant.

I fell out of love with ww way back as they changed the plan and, for me, seemed to promote their junk food over other junk food. Now when I first joined ww I thought that was brilliant. Rubbish food which I liked at the time could be replaced by ww rubbish food but with lower calories and added artificial sweeteners. I…

I don't know if you can get it where you live Jackiebukhard, but I've discovered the joys and high protein content of icelandic skyr. It is available in UK too.

I sympathise. I have been trying to up my protein whilst lowering carbs and fat with mixed results. It's incredible the amount of fish, dairy and pulses that I need to get to approximately 30% of my daily calories. I'm sure it just takes practice though and it is interesting too! I was trying to eat more nuts but not sure…

http://sciencenetlinks.com/science-news/science-updates/time-restricted-eating/ This is a wee article I read in the new scientist which kind of made me rethink the late night eating issue. I have always rejected the anti-eating after whatever time is quoted, because of the food is food thought. I realise the experiments…

I can!
