Experiences with

Low carbohydrate diet

I have an under active thyroid and episodes of Atrial Fibrillation. I know that AF is helped by a bmi of under 25 so wonder if a LCHF diet would be safe as well as helpful. Di

I need to lose about 70 pounds and have needed to do so for many years. I’ve really tried to follow a low carb diet because I know that works for me. The trouble is that I run out of energy and get desperate for carbs, including sugar. I’d love to get some ideas from others on how to stay on track.

I have rarely eaten gluten on a daily basis as part of my normal diet. Mostly because I have a low carb diet but eat carbs after exercise and ofcourse I love red wine on a Sat night. Well since I hit the wall as far as Levo treatment goes (summer 2018) I’ve been tying to find out what’s wrong with me

I know that I can lose weight, sleep better, and feel better if I can stick to a low-carb diet but am having difficulty doing so. I’m in my mid seventies, which adds to the difficulty, but I’m young for my age in many ways and would really appreciate advice on how to stick to my diet.

Finally have my appointment for a second opinion at Heartlands tomorrow and to hopefully get the ok for bronchial thermoplasty as I’ve failed xolair and can’t get on any other biologics. I’m on fostair 200/6, spiriva, intal and salbutamol inhalers, antihistamines, montelukast, theophylline, maintenance

45 year old male. Obviously I'll be discussing this with my cardiologist but I figured I'd share these numbers and get some thoughts. First was 4/9 of this year pre-CABG. Second number was yesterday. Total- 137 - 135 LDL- 80 to 70 HDL- 37.3 to 38.2 (this is a bugger) Triglycerides- 98 to 135

I've been on a gluten free diet now for 6 years since I was in my mid 20s as even the slightest amount of cross contamination from crumbs etc. started to set me off with severe bowel issues and I lost 2 stone. It still has the same effect now so I avoid it completely. My old GP put it down to IBS and

Hi all. I have been following the low carb high fat diet for almost 2 weeks. The belief behind it is that you starve the bad bacteria of sugars and starches to eliminate it. I have stuck to the diet strictly but have not noticed any difference. I am currently taking Bimuno and have tried various probiotics

Hi, This is my first post, so I'll try and include as much relevant info as possible. I've had an underactive thyroid for over 20 years, (I'm in my early forties now) but over the last 18mths my results have been all over the place and I have been feeling very unwell, even more tired than usual, weight

I've been giving some thought about the whole paradigm surrounding LCHF, keto etc. Our ancestors, recent and past, were almost certainly never in ketosis, at least on a permanent basis but for people wanting to change their lifestyle some will freak out unless the urine sticks are purple, and will panic

I’m hearing that low dose naltrexone addresses symptoms other than tremors and beneficial and benign. My neurologist doesn’t want to prescribe it. I could go to a naturopath for a prescription but wondering what luck others have had with it.

What I heard.... it’s ideal if your diet is lighter on the refined carbohydrates (ideally a low carb diet as high blood sugar levels blocks thiamine ability to enter the cell), and limit coffee/tea intake to 2 cups a day. (or less).

Had a cough since last Tuesday, got worse by the weekend and found I was using my inhalers a lot more due to chest tightness. Woke up at 1am this morning with a harsh, sharp pain in my chest when breathing in and out. Went down to a&e, Chest x Ray was clear, peak flow was okay and was given steroids
