So small update.
After my cruise, I was offered the chance via my HCP to go on a "reset" as part of the NHS T2D pathway programme, which I accepted.
This meant a further 4 weeks back on the shakes, then two (or maybe three) weeks of food reintroduction again.
I have just started my last (4th) week on the reset diet and have so far lost another 3kg (6.5lb ish) so back to 89kg (from 92kg) so almost back to my lowest weight again since starting the pathway programme.
Its the 800 cals TDR protein shakes /meals again. I have not stuck rigidly to the 800 cals, I have had the odd salad, chicken, fish, etc, but even tho I've not stuck to it 100%, I have still stuck to a healthy low cal/low carb diet and have still lost weight.
My main aim of doing the reset was to lose the weight I put on during my cruise, which I've pretty much done now, but I'll continue with it for the next week and then do the food re-introduction phase again, and by that time, I will almost be at the end of the 12 month programme anyway.
I now know that even if I do have a small relapse, or put on some weight, I have the experience and tools to lose that weight again, and I don't find it too hard, as I can easily change my eating to a low(er) cal or low(er) carb regime at will and that does give me the opportunity to control my weight, but still eating things that I enjoy, etc.
Weight = 89kg
Waist lost 8"
BG = hovers around 5 to 5.5
BP = good
Thanx 😎
