So now I lose weight?!!!

[Drummer]

For two months I used meal replacement shakes and could see I was losing a bit of weight, but nothing spectacular.
When I found that my HbA1c had risen I stopped the diet.

I needed to have a second appointment to check pulses in my feet - I was given the all clear, but the nurse asked me to step on the scales again as she was concerned I might 'put it all back on' quite quickly.
Since abandoning the shakes and going back to my ordinary way of eating I have lost 1.3Kg. and (I just realised) put on a jumper.....

Being a creature of habit I have found it difficult to resume two meals a day, so my intake of food is still fairly low, but the main thing is no more milk, no more easily accessible carbs, back to salad and veges, over half eaten uncooked.

I wonder if it will ever be acknowledged that Dr Atkins was right.

Probably loss of glycogen due to your switch back to low carb diet. Quite common.

Could be - but my belly has just gone 'flobble' and all squdgy - good thing I did not cut out the new skirts today as I'd be almost a dress size out - I might wait a few days and see if the trend continues.
I used to be so vain about my slender waist, I always felt that the globular shape I grew into was some sort of punishment for those teeny tiny suede and leather mini skirts I used to strut around in.
