Hi, thanks for the feedback, it's not so much that I want to lose weight, it's that I want to improve my health and strict KETO has been medically advised for CFS. Maybe I was keeping my calories too low though, at 1200, I don't do any exercise atm due to fatigue so there is non to burn off. I am 130lbs now, 164 cm in…

It's a month later and I can't believe I actually did it, I have lost almost a stone and am feeling better for it as in slender. It has helped my digestion being off the gluten and sugar, still have chronic pain though. Hoping that can improve over time

Hi, I just found this thread whilst researching Doxycycline + weight gain. I've been on 100mg for a week, 5lbs up and no other factors involved, in fact, I have been walking more and IF. Interested to hear from others if the weight came off after use?

So far, calorie counting, I'm quite new to this again, I lost a few stone some years ago. For me, paying close attention and learning how caloric items are has been a revelation- I'm just trying to get the balance right each day. I have cut out sugar and all grains, primarily for health reasons, I never did eat much…

Hi, This month I am carrying on and getting more serious about tackling my gut issues, in the last month I have cut out sugar and all grains- except the occasional drink when I'm on a night out- this enabled me to stop the PPI'S and my reflux is a lot better. I still take Gaviscon occasionally if I have burn. I would like…

Hi, I just started using here again. I am unable to exercise much so it's all diet. I have been sugar and grain free for the last week, feeling much better, and down nearly a kilo! I had put on a lot of weight due to stopping smoking and comfort eating- time for change:)
