You might find that your curry is extremely spicy and perhaps a little strange in flavour - I always freeze just the basic, unspiced meal and then defrost and mix in whatever is needed.
I find the flavour is often better when it has been frozen. I make double amount or more and freeze for a homemade 'ready meal'
Listened to it on audible it went in better than reading think he is brilliant have dropped for 18 stone to 15 10.... bit stuck so may do a day on shakes a week...
well done !!! keep going I have just embarked on this diet and t will be long haul but hoping to will work!
I have just completed week 3 but a couple of “events” have meant I haven’t stuck to it as intended. Using a mixture of Kee Diet shakes and “real” food. Lost just over 1st in those 3 weeks, 8lbs was in the first week when I really stuck to it. Bought myself a blood glucose monitor 4 days ago as I have never been asked by doctor to monitor it. Only doing fasting reading first thing each morning and they have been 8.3 mmol, 7.1 , 6.2 , 7.5 so a bit all over the place. Putting the hard work in from today, sticking strictly to the diet and getting that reading down and stable
I am doing the same but not using the shakes at all but not read much of book doing Diabetes UK diet online. Have you had a very upset tummy through this at all. My readings are similar but a bit higher as only first week.
Oh YES !!! And there doesn’t appear to be any pattern, e.g. every time I eat a certain thing. I blame the metformin. Never had issues until I started this diet but noted that Prof.Taylor suggested stopping medication the day you start. My doctor told me to keep taking so doing as I am told
Yes ,you need to do what is right for you. im not on medication.
well done you ! I am on week 10 and have lost 38 11lb very strict fasting and dieting but not got anything to test my bloods yet ! Hoping to reverse it...
id never survive on two meals a day
it's surprising I thought i wouldn't either but the results were so good it kept me going...kept lunch real simple and splurged a bit on dinner...
well done you did you drink fluids the rest of the time ? Or does fast mean fast?
If you are talking of fasting in terms of a religious fast as in Ramadan then no people can't even drink water. However otherwise in terms of an intermittent fasting regime especially if people are taking medication like empagliflozin it would be dangerous not to drink enough fluid.
yes the empaglifloxin makes me drink a lot ,if anything I feel I am more like a diabetic on it than off it. As I drink every waking hour and more. If I am up in the night and I want a drink I have it. I did not drink as much when my sugar was high. I said its been hot too but hubby notices. Unless its the high fat diet that makes me drink. I always bought half , low fat or zero fat before. But cream , cheese, olive oil are all regular now. I never would have had cream, always skimmed milk, cheese was usually 33% and Olive oil was spray. Just a few diet changes... Was in the library looking for books very quiet village so librarian asked me what I was looking for. His knowledge was greater than the Drs he said and these American Drs say keto or low Carb is bad and to go Plant based by Gregor etc.
