@Sandy_123 nice question I am trying to do this without going overboard on stuff like orange juice because it has a lot of calories

Sandy_123

I'm doing it with fresh fruit and veg,  weigh in is in 10 days, for me. I'm loving the fact my body is getting more  nutrients now. Plus fibre and proteins

@66Mustang @Sandy_123 @Lou67 thank you all! Sandy, i always find it very difficult to get my 5 day, dispite having a side of veg or salad for tea and a piece or 2 of fruit at some point during the day. It hasn't affected my weight loss so that's a good thing. 

Some fruit has a lot of natural sugar so eating a lot of it isn't good either lol or so i'm told. Then we come back to the "you should eat or drink this because it's not good for you"

Agree that personal trainers are expensive because i've had one about 18 months ago. It's cheaper if you can find another person to share with, providing the PT agrees to split the cost between both of you so you pay half each.

I know with the sugars but my thinking is a banana sugars are better then a slice of lemon cake sugars. Ohhh cake     what ever were all doing its working well 

66Mustang

I read that fruit sugars are such that in nature when we could only get fruit and not cakes/chocolates etc. if you gorged yourself on fruit and ate too much you'd throw it up before the sugar became too much, but with cakes and chocolate you can easily eat too much without being sick. It's to do with fruit being available in nature and chocolate/cake isn't.

Since I've been doing this my 7th week this week, my blood sugars are more stable. They were very high b4 dangerously high. I spoke with the diabetic nurse earlier on the phone. My blood tests are on 1st Sept. So we will see what results are

Good luck @Sandy_123

Sandy_123

They better be @66Mustang otherwise I'm buying chocolate cake and eat it like that kid in matilda  lol

@Sandy_123

Seriously though you have been doing so well so hopefully everything will be much better with your blood levels.  ❤️

Hey all. I been trying too. Lost a stone and 8 pounds. But currently having really bad time with pain so not getting as much exercise in. I am sticking to healthy eating and intermittant fasting thi so hopefully still manage to lose more

Sandy_123

Hi @ricky1040 that's a great loss already. I'm the same limited in exercise, can't use gyms anymore  and most I can do on good days is a short  walk .
But we'll done 

ricky1040

@Sandy_123 thankyou and its hardwork. I was real bad for pain last. Ight and decided to have a midnight feast. Whoops

Sandy_123

@ricky1040 that's fine there's no rules to say you can't eat when u want. Are the pain killers not helping 

ricky1040

@Sandy_123 long story on the medication front. They do help but they make me sleepy and so i just cant do exercise when like that. I was on a different med but it really messed me up in other ways so gad to stop. 

Sandy_123

Its a nightmare getting the right medication to suit, trials and errors, hopefully this one settles down a bit
