Just a quick intro: today is day 1 for me on the 800 calorie BSD. I’m weighing in at about 17 st 8 or so. My Dr tells me my blood pressure is high and, although not diabetic, I am showing signs of insulin resistance😢.

Need to sort this out, as I’m a dad of two young kids and not yet 40!

I’m expecting the diet to be very difficult. But hopefully posting regularly on here will help keep me accountable!

Will try to post daily. Don’t plan on weighing myself often (don’t like being a slave to the scale).

Hi Rooster,
Welcome to the forums and the BSD way of life.
There’s a wealth of information on these forums. A good thread to read is Bill1954’s ‘this has to work for me’. Bill posted before and after photos of himself and his thread outlines his journey.
Everyone’s situation is different – the overwhelming similarity is that we all seek a healthier life.
Best wishes.

Welcome to all those starting the BSD .
Stick to it – as it works!!

Some fab weight losses and the benefits are worth it.

Thanks Switzerland I’ll check out the thread you suggested
