When eating low fat I was always conscious of needing to eat less as my weight increased relentlessly.
On a low carb full fat diet my weight reduced without me even thinking about it. I was totally fixated on getting normal blood glucose levels, and then my clothes started falling off - fortunately indoors and in private. The nurse I saw last time I needed a new prescription for Thyroxine was puzzled that I needed less as my thyroid failed decades ago - and she asked me to step on the scales. I said I did not want to know what I weighed, I have had too many battles about weight, but when putting in the numbers she remarked that I was 70lb down from the maximum they had for me.
On low carb high fat I don't need snacks, I am never hungry and I even forget to eat sometimes - I only eat twice a day anyway.
That’s really good that you need less thyroxine , I’m hoping for same with all my medications eventually, I’ve joined Nutracheck has a paying member so I can keep an eye on my calories as well as my carbs and hopefully lose some weight in the process, it’s all new at the moment and I’m trying to make better choices, I’m back to see the diabetic nurse on the 13th for more bloods being done etc.
Really appreciate everyones help and information
