I’ve just realised! is there an Oviva and a weight loss group? I wondered where everyone had gone and why missed all these posts.

Frightened to bring up this subject. I noticed my lower jawline had some deep linesfrom the amount I’ve already lost. I’m terrified of loose skin with a bigger loss. When I was at the actual slimming club there was a young man getting surgery for his Moobs but think he got scared and put the weight back on again. I’m sure no one will give me surgery at my age and the skin wont just disappear like when I was younger and will just have to live with it. Change of subject . So much has happened last few weeks, worst of all next door neighbour dying and funeral tomorrow. I’ve gone off plan and after binging on sweet stuff I’m finding it difficult to get back off them again. Hope everyone is doing well.

I'm sorry to read that it's a difficult period for you. Try and be compassionate towards yourself and recognise we all go off plan, especially when there are set backs, negative things happening and stress. We all wired differently (probably genetic) and have weaknesses for different things, sweet stuff, alcohol, gambling etc etc.
I went through a period of being horrified by my wrinkly neck. I'm not sure if it improved or that I've just stopped looking at it . . . hang on, I'll check . . ., yes it has improved. The skin loses it's elasticity as we get older, but it still tightens up when you lose weight - just a lot more slowly than we'd like. The good news is, we are going into winter, so we can cover up. Your skin should have tightened up, and the lines gone by the time the daffodils are out.

That‘s funny. You made me laugh. Yes just stop looking lol I’ve been good today. Just waiting on dinner cooking. Ty for your reply. You’re age. I’ve got years on you and know about losing skin elasticity. loose skin is a big issue in weight loss groups. As long as I’m not pushing up the daffodils lol

@Weekender . You and I were diagnosed around the same time. 5 th June I got the results but were taken earlier than that, for me and still 22 lbs weight loss much more to go. 9.97 kgs I prefer empirical to metric with some things. I’ve put my SW data on photo. Mine is just simple with an option to do speed and protein which is a polite way of saying Keto I don’t want the rabbit pellets again so I’m not doing it and my BG is doing ok when I behave. I had lost 10% of my body weight but lost it last week so will get it back this week all going well.

@Weekender I have noticed how much my skin has improved over the almost 5 years of low carbing, and despite losing weight I have none of the skin flaps or wrinkles - I even get my bus pass checked when there is a new driver on the route. I must be doing something right.

You're doing a good job. I'm starting to realise I've got to keep disciplined. I considered doing a week on the VLCD shakes, but like you, I don't fancy the rabbit pellets.
Winter, more time in front of the TV will be a challenge. I've got to get on top of my TV snacking habbit

I do options hot chocolate in the evening 9 g of carb. Also muller lite yogurts with chocolate sprinkles 6.2 grams of carbs. I have some grapes, I know,but they help my chronic constipation. I can’t drink too much options as I would be up all night peeing.I’ve realised my carbs aren’t too high. In a day I have some potatoes. Peel 6 but cook 2 lol I would eat the lot but by the time I’ve peeled them I’ve calmed down about how many I’m getting in reality. I have 2 small slice of wholemeal bread. You could have that in the evening but it might be better to have it early. Chicken drumsticks are a good snack also and carb free, cooked meat slices, cheese triangles low-fat if you’re not doing low fat it’s still ok. Hope this helps. I just realised there’s 12.4 grams of sugar ( 4 teaspoons) in a muller lite yogurt. Need to stop them and very tasty as well. Will finish what I have in the fridge then stop! Guess it’s Greek yogurt in the evening With some fruit. Don’t take strawberries at night as they’re diuretic

There is always bubble and squeak made with swede rather than potato, beat in some eggs mix in veges, cook in a frying pan and then put it under the grill - if you aren't cooking bacon to eat with it, add cheese on top and don't get the grill too hot.
Or there is cauliflower, almost cooked, into a warm dish, cover with cream cheese sprinkle on herb or spice, cover with grated hard cheese and then bake until lightly brown and melting.
Lots of other options are available on a low carb diet, all delicious and all going to lower BG and weight, with any luck.
You do need to watch out for high carb foods or drinks - it isn't some sort of magic.
Eating consistently low carb can be quite astonishingly effective, but some of the things I read make me concerned. The information is often right there on the full information panel - it must come as a nasty shock for some to realise just how carb heavy some 'healthy' foods are.
 
There’s also egg muffins with added peppers and veg . I don’t like them but a big hit with people

Only as an alternative to the chocolate drink, potatoes, grapes, bread and Muller lite yoghurts.

What do calories matter?
Just bang a few thousand in on every snack.
It seems some low carbers don't actually understand what the Newcastle diet is.
Continuous snacks of bacon cheese and eggs doesn't work on it.
Please try to understand continuous as much as you want to until you are satiated eating does not work for everyone.
I chose , as do others, a route that doesn't mean we need to eat that, I'm not diet controlling my diabetes, I like chocolate drinks, potatoes, grapes, and not only Muller lite yoghurts, Muller rice are good too.

What makes you think I ever advised anyone to snack continuously?
I have always advised the exact opposite, and usually stick to it absolutely but I did eat between meals today - a single almond.
The Newcastle diet is not a new concept to me. The Cambridge diet man - Dr Howard came to the firm I worked for, Lyons, to the pilot plant where I worked in the old Symingtons food factory in Market Harborough and had the first trials of his Cambridge diet mixed and packaged - I did the storage testing to find out if it would last for the intended time. That was back in the 1970s.
These days I eat twice a day - at 12 hourly intervals. I don't publish the amounts I eat, as most people consume much greater volumes of food than I do. I don't seem to need them, but it would be dreadfully off-putting for many people.

I am not on any medication either, and I am only advising on what I do and do not eat.

Glad you are getting the benefits of a low calorie diet as well then.
Just like Prof Taylor recommends, watch the calories, lose weight, it's all good.
This is definitely the thread you should be supporting, it's named the Newcastle diet, now matter how you do it.
