    I’m starting my 8 week diet on Monday. I went to see my GP today – I was slightly nervous about the reception I would get but hoped that I would get some support. I was right to be nervous. All I received was a homily about “we doctors” not being in favour of faddy crash dieting, especially when people taking them up expected “us hard-working GPs” to monitor their progress and health weekly. I’m feeling too disappointed to recount the last part of the conversation.

    I told him that I was going to do it anyway for me as I wanted to take responsibility for my health rather than relying on pills. I could see that I wasn’t going to get any help or even moral support so am going to go it alone. And that includes making sensible decisions about tapering down Metformin from my current 4x50g tabs a day and closely monitoring what happens. He said he’ll see me again in about 3 months if I’ve managed to lose any weight. That was encouraging – I wonder why he became a doctor?

    Fch I do hope you will like the yoghurt – did you get the Fage brand? I haven’t found another brand that tastes anything like it. I second what hashimoto says, it’s really filling and I don’t feel at all deprived when I have it for breakfast (I have it with fresh raspberries, which I probably will have to switch to frozen berries soon for budgetary reasons!!)

    Nice to know the mini ice age I experienced yesterday wasn’t just me or a cold coming on. I had to resort to an extra layer, two blankets and a hot water bottle. Oh and I had a pot of tea plus a couple of my pints of water were swopped to hot water instead of cold. My late afternoon chicken broth was welcomed too. It lasted a couple of hours. I did warm up after that. Nice to know if exercise makes a difference because I cancelled my walk because of the cold. What was amazing though after 1 day plus 2 meals on the diet, I lost a whole half lb at my weekly weigh in, after a terrible Easter weekend including a takeaway, a biscuit binge, a toast supper and loads of chocolate and marzipan. All foods I wouldn’t normally have. Do others find that cutting carbs works so quickly?

    Hi everyone
    Today was my second weekly weigh-in and I’m now finding myself getting more and more interested in the debate between using only shakes or eating real food.
    In the first week I had 3 shakes per day plus the 200 calorie top up of good, fibrous veg. Using these particular shakes I was having around 63 g of carbs per day plus whatever was in the veg. In my first week I lost 2kg and 1 1/2 inches off my waist. As I only need to lose 10 kg I was really pleased with this, though more importantly I needed to lose around 7 inches off my waist (I’m a real apple shape!)
    The second week included Easter which gave me more time to go for long walks and to introduce real food into my diet. In this second week I have lost 1kg and 1/2 and inch off my waist. Not nearly as exciting although I do realise that water could have accounted for a lot of my weight loss in the first week.
    So on the face of it, the shakes win, however as you always lose more in the first week I intend going back to the shake only regime for this next week which should provide a more reliable comparison.
    It’s all going the right way but what really counts is the blood sugar levels and I haven’t checked those yet. As a pre-diabetic trying to head things off at the pass, I was keen to monitor this, but my doctor did not approve of my going on this diet (gave all the reasons that Michael Mosley said she would) and told me that there was absolutely no point checking my blood sugar as this would not tell me anything. And so I need to wait until November for my annual check-up unless I invest in a blood sugar monitor myself.
    Have other pre-diabetics found this useful?
    Until next week folks with the update on the meals versus shakes experiment.

    That’s really interesting, Cherrianne. Smoke smells can wake me up in the night as well.

    I didn’t see the Madame Flavour tea when I scoured the shelves of the Health Food shop. They had a variety of liquorice teas but didn’t fancy the additional spices some had in them. The one I got is Clipper organic liquorice. A friend came over last night and she always asks to have a spoon of honey added to her herbal tea ( she thinks it isn’t a sugar) but she found the liquorice tea sweet enough! πŸ™‚

    Cherianne, thanks and a big well done to your mum too!

    Karra, thank you – so many people are saying “if I can do it so can you…” now I’m starting to believe them!

    Bill, I feel very different already, I’m “walking taller” as someone else on the forum said (sorry can’t remember who!) and although I’m having lapses that other people are managing to avoid, I am doing well enough to be making a difference, and it’s such a good thing that my 3-month check up came now, as it’s a great push to keep going.

    Thank you so much to everyone for all the encouragement, kindness and support. What a lovely bunch you all are!

    Bill, there was something on sky news this morning about a 13-hour fast being a way to combat breast cancer and other ailments. They didn’t mention diabetes, but I think you were saying that you do a long fast? I am going to try to increase my fasting time now too.

    Inka – one question. Do you want to be healthy and have a longer life or to be a slightly prettier corpse?

    Don’t worry about your skin – it won’t be on show to the whole world! If you think about it, people with big belly’s, as they get older, end up with it sagging whether they stay the same weight or slim down. Nothing you can do about it.

    I’m 63 and I have got to say that my belly was beginning to sag a bit anyway – even in the mirror it looks a lot better than it used to – and clothes look much better on me now that I don’t look 5 months pregnant!!!

    Just enjoy the fact that you are a new and healthier you! πŸ™‚

    Too true hashimoto! I am fitting in clothes I’ve kept for aaages hoping to fit in them one day…. Just never thought I’d be wearing them all at once! πŸ˜ƒ
    Can’t wait for summer now. Hoping to loose another stone by then. Normally I’m hiding in the shade covered up because I don’t want my arms/legs on show and I get too hot too quickly… Recently been told by doc that I’m vit D deficient which isn’t surprising! This summer however, I’ll be soaking up the Rays and hopefully ditch the thermal vest! πŸ˜…

    2st 9 is amazing btw! That’s got to be numerous clothes sizes down and a whole lot of energy up!

    I definitely lost my Carb craving a few days in, haven’t eaten bread, pasta, potatoes or rice for 20 days now. The sugar craving is harder to beat. Lentils, eggs, avocado, beans etc are all good to have with meals, it just takes time to ‘see’ meals looking different – we’ve become so accustomed to ‘something’ with pasta or rice etc but with this diet you have much more variety on your plate I think. And fresher foods. Last night my family had jacket potatoes with various fillings. With them, I had shredded pork, homemade coleslaw, green salad leaves, peppers, avocado and some halloumi cheese. No potato. Was very full, didn’t eat between 6pm and 8am this morning.
    I do buy ready made courgetti now and again, no flavour but quick and easy if you don’t have time for an alternative. Also good if you don’t fancy a cold salad as a side and need something warm.

    Hi Lucia I suffer from night cramps as well, you would not believe the contorted shapes my feet and toes make. It used to be all over my body, to the extent that I had to roll myself off the bed and onto the floor. Nothing worked for it until the doctor prescribed quinine sulphate – they can have some bad side effects so I was told to just use them for 4 or 5 nights and then drink tonic water with quinine in. It’s the only thing which works for me. Every now and again I have to take them for 4 or 5 nights. If night cramps are a regular feature I would speak to your doctor. BTW salt and all the other remedies for cramp had no effect on me, I was told to try lots of remedies since I was a kid. I got to 60 before I was given the quinine!!

    Like Bill said, take care of that blister. Australian blister socks (you can send away for them) are the best protection for feet which blister – mind you they might not look too fetching with normal shoes!!

    Sounds like you have a busy weekend ahead! The push bike might save your blister from more damage while you still get exercise.

    Hope you get that ‘early’ finish at 7pm x

    Hi nikkioaks, 5cm off your waist is pretty impressive. πŸ™‚ and the kilos are bound to drop off soon. Obviously things are heading in the right direction. Hopefully the coming week will bring better results.

    Thanks Cherrianne. I didn’t know about those apps. I’ll get my daughter to help me get and learn to use it. I don’t use apps much with the i-phone. But this is worth it. Thanks for advice regarding the full fat yoghurt as I was confused if that was after the 800 diet. I love my skim milk’s taste and really don’t like the full cream version. But I can switch cheeses etc. I’ve watched Dr Mosely’s TV programmes, read articles and this website. I need to get the book. My head’s still fighting with the contradictory ideas of my old (unsuccessful) dieting lessons and this one.
    I’m happy I’ve started this because I’ve paired it with finally going back to the gym. Together, they’re making me feel better.

    Hi Annie
    I’ve had mature cheddar, goats cheese, and feta on the diet, all ok as long as you count them in your calories, remember fat is good.
    My top tip with cheese is to grat it as fine as you can, a little goes a long way then and it seems to be more than it is.
    18lbs gone in just 19 days, almost a pound a day, well done you, picture that as 36 packs of lard, that’s what has gone from your body.

    Hi Lucia,
    Night cramps are nasty things! I take a magnesium tablet at night. A couple of glasses of sparkling mineral water also help when the cramp strikes.
    Buy the Ali Baba pants: set your inner hippy free πŸ˜‰ they are such comfy things and very versatile. I wear them, and the fishermans wrap pants all the time. I don’t have an inner hippy lol, it’s on show for all to see.

    Hi thank you for the messages(apart from the spam!).
    Well i’m on day 19 and I’m down to 19-11 so that’s 18lbs, so far, which I’m so pleased about……….but I have a lot to shift so it’s only a small dent but I’m feeling really good. Still get lightheaded every now and then but not too bad.
    I have a question. I love cheese……a lot. I had a bit of feta over the last few days and it was lovely. Is there any cheese anyone can recommend that I can have in moderation because it’s the only thing I’m missing. I have no cravings for anything sweet at all which is so good!
    The weight loss has really slowed but I’m looking at the bigger picture and I really think I can do this.
    Thank you to everyone who has replied…….as time goes on I will get more involved with other peoples posts etc, this is the first time I’ve joined a forum so it’ll take a while to get into the swing of things.
    My children are going away today and I have a whole week to myself and I must admit I can’t wait……I love them dearly but I’m looking forward to the quiet!
    Fridge is full of healthy stuff and I’m going to up the exercise.
    Thanks for reading xx

    Hi Ros,
    If you have any Apple devices you can download an app to your phone/ iPad whatever. The app is the Australian easy diet diary. It will help you with calorie and carb counts. You can pick foods from the list on there or scan barcodes and it will save that info for you. You can monitor your daily intake in carbs or calories. Whichever is easier for you.
    Have you read the book or the Daily Mail articles? They will explain the principles of the diet.
    The advice usually given to newbies is to drink plenty of non sugary fluids, 2-3 litres a day. Make sure you get full fat milk, yoghurt etc. as it will help your body convert from carb burning to fat burning and will also help to curb hunger. Most people aim for 50g carbs per day for weight loss and blood sugar control.
    Keep reading the posts for inspiration, and ask for help if you need it. There are lots of people ready to support you or celebrate your successes.

    Hi Fch53,
    Great to see another newby! I’m inspired to get the book and study MM’s ideas properly now. Thanks. Have you tried sprinkling over the oats a generous amount of ground cinnamon (great for diabetics) ? Have it with either yoghurt, milk or pureed apple… Yum. Especially with toppings. I make my own with packets of chopped almonds, pumpkin & sunflower seeds and sultanas (are these allowed?). Mixed and then just store in a handy container to dip into all through the day as either nibbles or toppings.
    Good luck.

    You have to be happy with those weight and sugar results Pete, that’s an excellent set of 4 week results.
    Sensible of you to realise that the weight loss will slow a little but that 7kgs looks very achievable

    Been on BSD for 1 full month and I’m calling this my 4 weeks – had a relapse last week which we a scrubbing from the records (but not the memory as it was a valuable learning experience about how and why I eat).
    How am I doing – 9.5kgs lost since 1st March. Feeling much healthier and I’m not finding it hard to stick to v. low cals and no carbs. I avoid eating out or any high risk locations – bars, pantry at work, looking in the fridge.

    Had my regular check-ups today. Bit disappointed that my blood pressure is back up in the 140/90 range and that my Uric acid levels are still high but docs were impressed by my weight loss which has to be a good thing. Cholesterol is very low, good cholesterol in the right range, BS low, heart pumping nice and slow. Just that pesky BP and the uric acid (which can lead to gout).

    I go back in 3 months – 1st July. My plan is to finish this first BSD at the end of April with a loss of a further 6kgs. I will then do 5:2 fasting for May (2kg target) and then back on BSD at the beginning of June. That’ll give me 4 more weeks of BSD and a target of a further 7kgs. 15kg total in the next 3 months. I started at 145kg, am 135.5kg today and by 1st July I will be 120kg for a total 4 month weight loss of give or take 25kg. I still need to lose another 20kg after that…

    Hi out there,

    I’ve only just joined and really have little idea of what I’m doing :-/
    But I’m trying to take on board the key ideas though I haven’t the patience at this stage to count kj – or calories, as you say here. I’m Australian and all info on packets is in kj so it’s a bit frustrating cause 800 cal is so much easier to remember than 3347kj… I’ve rounded it to 3500 kj. My confusion means I still have to work out if I’m doing low-carb or the low cal diet… I’ve cut out virtually all carbs and just upped the protein and iron-rich foods (I’m iron-deficient), nuts, vegies and low sugar fruits. I’ve started reading some forum posts and it’s great to see so much support on here.

    I got so excited about the prospect of doing something good for myself I’ve just jumped in. So much so, that I even posted a strawberry shortcake recipe on day 1 which I think is ok… But I’m not sure if it really IS either low-cal or low-carb. What made it hard to calculate is that I didn’t have all the packaging with the nutritional info. I researched similar products but the values vary a lot depending on brands. At least it tasted nice. I’m kind of horrified though because it’s already showing on the public side and I’m sure it needs checking by someone who understands this diet! What are the threshold values per serve to qualify for this?

    Maybe I’m just vague today cause it’s Day 3 and I can’t stop thinking about carbs and the Easter eggs that were scattered around the house! I think I’ve lost 2kg already so I’ll just stick a “2kg” sign on the chocolate pile I made to help me focus and remember that I’m consciously making these off-the-cuff decisions to get me healthier NOW! πŸ™‚
    Oh yay. I feel better already πŸ™‚

    Cheers, Ros

    I have been concentrating on reducing my carbs and the amount I eat, but today I used my fit it to start to record the calories and I have definitely been going over budget. Only by 200 calls which isn’t bad considering both what I used to eat and how much I have to lose.

    As I have been starting to feel better -headaches gone etc- time to really concentrate on tracking my calories and carbs. What app is best? The book suggests my fitness app, does that have carbs as well as calories. My fit bit app has just calories but I should probably track both rather than just cutting out certain foods completely and assuming that will work.

    On another note I have ordered some yoghurt on my groceries shop due today. Don’t know what I will think of the full fat stuff as previously and very rarely I would get the total 0fat and have with honey. Obviously no honey this time, just some berries. As I have said before following my going off chocolate I have found I don’t like sweet creamy foods, but if I keep the sweeteners down it would be good to have an alternative breakfast and to eat some dairy as I don’t want my calcium to be too low.

    Hey JoD
    Drink lots of water and take painkillers to deal with the headaches.
    Make sure you get enough fat into your food to stave off what you feel as hunger but are in reality carbohydrate cravings.
    By the end of the week you will be feeling much better. Best of luck.

    Morning Lucia,

    Re your cramps, you may need to up your salt intake a bit. If and when you already have cramps or to stave them off, get a bar of soap, any soap will do and put in in your bed, under the sheet so it doesn’t move about so much. Obviously down in the leg area!

    I’m envious that you manage to get so many steps in each day, I don’t know how you do it? Even when I do ‘the walk’ by the river, up n down stairs at home and a walk round the shopping Mall, I’ve never really got abovr 7000 steps!

    Hi Meredex
    although the book doesn’t actually say much about ketosis, the generally accepted opinion is that 50 grams of carbohydrate or less per day will put you into that condition.
    You’ll probably find this is easier than you previous diet with less side effects.
    Good luck and keep us posted onn your progress.

    Hi Hashimoto,
    Thanks , glad you like my sense of humour.
    Yesterday at lunch went for my long quick walk.
    At my furthest distance from work, my heel came off, and as I changed my gait to accommodate the broken heel, I unbeknownst to me, rubbed a blister on the sole of my foot the size of London.
    Flat brown shoes today, with brown skirt and cream blouse , limping a bit. But will still go for a walk.
    I may get the foot bath sorry, the foot spa out and have a soak tonight.
    Will I ever get straight?
    Love Lucia

    Penny, the email didnt arrive, try again ?
    strange one this morning, I did a pre bedtime blood test last night for no real reason. I was a little upset to see it was 6.6 as yesterday was really an ultra low carb day, but hey ho I’ve been here before.
    Woke this morning and did my FBS expecting it to be up in the high 7’s to low 8’s.
    6.6, absolutely no movement overnight. I happy danced all the way to the shower, a total distance of about 10 feet but it’s all exercise, right ?
    To say I’m over the moon with that is an understatement, no late night fatty snack and just 1 metformin twice a day.
    It just keeps getting better. πŸ˜€

    I wanted to go shopping tonight at Iceland but beloved doesn’t and he has the car so I have to spend some of my precious weekend shopping.
    Meeting up with a girlfriend on Saturday lunchtime for just a chat and a tea. We usually laugh and cry together, she is great.
    Would like a lie in but also get up early and enjoy the early morning light. It’s usually sunny then when I get up it clouds over. Not fair.
    Want to get on my pushbike and go around a few blocks, get the blubber going.

    Hi Natalie,
    your body is having to readjust, it’s been burning carbs for so long, it will scream out for them at first when they are restricted.
    Good that you identified the feelings as cravings rather than hunger though.
    Make sure you get plenty of fat into your daily food and drink lots of water, the cravings soon vanish.

    Hi James
    with your background you should breeze through this.
    As Cherrianne says keep an eye on the fats as well as the carbs. It seems strange to most people but the fats are key to losing weight as you retrain your body to burning them instead of carbs.
    Best of luck.

    Thanks so much for the support and encouragement everyone, its much appreciated, good to know I can put it down to week 2/3 blues and not something I’m doing wrong. I will certainly get some ketosticks, to be sure though. Sorry to hear you’ve stalled too nikkioaks, hopefully we’ll both be reporting good losses soon. I agree shopping is so much easier -and cheaper – now. And I can hardly close my fridge door as it’s bursting at the seams with veg!

    I have a question, again :-)…. Continuing to loose weight, but I wonder about what my skin around my tummy, waist etc will look like when I have reached my goal! Will I have ugly flabby skin hanging around to remind me of my old big me? Until now, have never lost anything significantly to speak of, so I have no idea what will happen to my skin. Will it shrink too? I recently turned 57, so my skin is not thaaaat elastic anymore… I imagine my tummy, when shrunk, will be like a deflated balloon? : When new, its nice and taught, when older and deflated will never return to its original new size again…. They are always bigger once you let the air out again ……… Any of you big loosers, sorry no offence intended :-)), have some advice on this? What is your experience?

    I have just been to the shops and have bought some plain yoghurt for snacking, as well as some more milk. The protein powder I use is MusclePharm Combat Powder, Cookies and Cream flavour, which has 5g carbs per serving, and 25g protein. Thank you for your post πŸ™‚
