NHS Low Calorie Diet - Type 2 Remission Programme - Oviva (aka Newcastle)

Some sugar free products can have a laxative effects when eaten. Many having small print on packaging the amounts.
They’re going into the bin. They’re about the size of your pinkie nail. My eyesight is beyond small print! I have to photograph with iPad and enlarged it on screen or Google the small print on packaging. Now there’s a tip for short sighted lol
 
If what you do is working I say hats off. If it’s not like me I need to change . Sometimes a tip to try can help another which is good as we are not all the same .
 
Sounds excellent.
Congratulations.
I reversed mine the same way.
I found the diet broke all my old bad habits.
I wanted the ability to eat any type of food, which I now have, and opted for a Mediterranean style diet, fairly low fat to keep the calories down, minimal saturated fats for cholesterol control, seems to work well for me.
Thank goodness for some positive feedback that this is possible!
 
I’m just going to delete my last post and say to you take you’re own advice. What is it about losing 25 lbs in 13 weeks that’s wrong? It’s between myself and my doctor!
If you read what I wrote I say if it works fir you I take my hat off . I do NOT get where you are coming from . Well done . Forget what anyone says all tips are good. If it works for you. Good. What do you mean Excuse me. Why are you so defensive to me ?
 
Did I tell you that I’m not feeling good? My neighbour was found dead on Thursday. He’d been in the house since Tuesday. Myself, him and another neighbour all looked out for each other. He was the diabetic who wouldn’t do anything he was told and had very swollen legs with sores all over them.
Sorry to hear this. Very sad. I think this illness gets one so low you cannot care less about it . I feel for him he might not have got help or it maybe just time for him to go. Thought with those who will miss him. Everyone is worth something to someone .

Oh yes - the reports on Haribo Gummi Bears on one of the websites selling the sugar free ones - they are hysterically funny to those of my ilk. My husband came to find out why I was bursting out laughing every few seconds.
Oh deary deary me.
 
Well I've been a little quiet for a coupe of weeks, as I've just been doing my thing...

Minding calories, taking at least 10,000 steps a day (even with a stinking cold for a week!), being midful about what I've been eating and generally enjoying things!

Weight has stablised a little, I'm currently 60.6Kg, which isn't too shabby - I work some nights (not shifts) and find that I can lose 1 KG overnight, so having to balance that out a little to bump myself up again by Monday official weigh in day - seems though I'm probably losing water weight and I'm naturally bouncing back up as I gain that back, and beginning to trust my body and what it tells me - slowly does it...!

I'm pretty disciplined with food overall, and so far it's working well, I'm sure there will be bumps in the road, and I've already had 'bored moments' where I've ...nearly gone to the fridge, but went for a walk instead well away from the fridge, which helped!

Overall, I'm finding calorie watching perfect for me, but I'm also a little wary of rice - seems to send me into a spin for some reason - this is regardless of if it's wholegrain or otherwise - I'll stick to the caulliflower rice for the time being!

As usual for me these days, Fasting Blood Glucose levels remain steady at the 4 mark, so intend to keep that trend going, along with 10,000 steps (rain or shine) and calorie counting - seems to be working for me!

I'll update when I have more news - keep safe everyone!!
 
Hi what’s the link for?

4 is really low compared to mine. My binge put it up between 7-8 I’m not on medication. Are you? That cold is supposedly another really bad and very infectious virus that flooring everyone.

Nope, no meds since April - yep don't usually get colds, but this one was irritating!
 
Hi what’s the link for?
You asked how to rmove notifications but that’s a long time ago since you’ve only just noticed you probably removed your other comment to me too.
 
https://forum.diabetes.org.uk/boards/misc/contact sorry its not in profile but your account
Hi I had to go through posts to find you I don’t see you on much. I am so sorry for offending you and I had to think why I did it? There’s been a disagreement with someone forcing their opinion on me and I left the forums for a while because of it. I think you got caught in the crossfire as I lost trust in people on here. It’s reared it’s ugly haed again with the person the other night and someone else got caught in it and they were actually supporting me. I apologise unreservedly to you and I don’t have any antagonism towards you. We’re all very sensitive with weight loss and diagnoses. I am so sorry and I hope you accept my apology. X

No need to apologise. As you rightly say we are all struggling and sensitive. To justify I think sometimes in writing to be articulate enough to put ones point across is difficult. I would never wish anyone harm . I try but fail at times and I am sorry you have been hurt. Some people will be enthusiastic about their way being best . I think one moderator puts it we are all unique and each has to try and see what is best fir them . I hope you succeed and I hope we can be friends.
