Hi 54,

I started the BSD in mid June. Calorie and carb counting and (latterly) also protein. My start point was newly diagnosed diabetic and 15 1/2 stone. I have been extremely strict for most of the last 4 months, with a few ‘slips’. Weighing and recording everything I eat! In mid September my blood test result was back into pre-diabetic and this morning I weighed in at 11stone. I have another 7 pounds to go and then the really difficult bit starts! Keeping to an even weight…not on 800 kcal but on maintenance…and also keeping out of the diabetic range, with counted carbs…change of mindset needed again for that! I have reduced from (British ladies) size 22 to 16..I can do so much more now!

I am keeping on….

That is brilliant Pootle

You must be so pleased

well done you

Yes, maintaining must be the hard bit.

Advice is ‘dont count calories etc’ BUT I think Im going to be doing a lot of it in future

Well done again
