Cravings etc
I notice a few of you doing Lytham's Challenge are reporting "carb cravings" and/or some trepidation about keeping this going. I can completely understand this. Once you get into LCHF, you realise that the British food landscape is awash with carbs (and low-fat food). Supermarkets, restaurants, everywhere

Has anybody else used this monitor? I bought it so I could email ecg recordings to the Cardiology clinic. It will take 24hr single lead holter readings. It can be used with wired skin contacts or direct skin contacts. It can also take overnight SPO2 recordings. The best feature is that it measures the

Uncontrolled Asthma, repeated asthma attacks every day. Do I have bronchiectasis?
I am 52, slim, fit, healthy and quite fit with a balanced healthy diet no milk but plenty of bio yoghurt. I supplement with vit c, vit D and probiotics daily. I have had asthma since 4yo, productive chesty cough for twenty five years, chest infections two to six times a year swiftly cleared by Amoxicillin

Low carb quiche & salad
Here is a photo of tonight’s tea: The quiche is low carb/ healthy fats as the base is made from almond flour. Mix one large egg with two cups of almond flour (or ground almonds) and a pinch of salt. Roll it out and bake blind for 15-20mins (I put ceramic cooking beans on it to stop it bubbling up).

How can this be allowed?
Yet again I have had my salbutamol stopped without warning! I have half an inhaler which is supposed to last until mid March. There is no way it will last until then! I have had this stress from my surgery stopping my medication before. Making me have to present my case why this is dangerous for me

2 months pregnant - can bloating cause difficulty / straining to pee?
Hi all! I'm 2 months pregnant and since a good 3 weeks I've have this need to strain for a wee most of the times I go. Basically I have to really force and strain for anything to come out and it takes ages and I am worried I'll damage my pelvic floor if I keep at it. There is no pain whatsoever, colour

TAT’s chicken tikka
My first attempt at making TAT’s LCHF chicken tikka, served with salad leaves and raita. My husband liked it so much he’s asked for it again tomorrow. Result! For the first time he’s had my food without additional carbs for him. Baby steps 😉

Veggie mince with cauliflower rice
Tonight’s tea: Quorn mince with veg (onions, garlic, courgette, peppers, tinned tomatoes) plus tomato purée, pesto, chipotle paste. Cauliflower rice and home-made Greek yogurt accompanied it. Delicious, filling and pretty low carb, healthy fats 🍂

Time Restricted eating, running and weight loss
I need to shift a few pounds, well more than a few, and am trying to do the time restricted eating, low carb diet. Only been doing for a couple of weeks but playing havoc with my running. Just too tired but still go three or four times a week but now so slow I wonder if it is worth it. Any suggestions

Very low TSH. Dr wants to reduce thyroxine.
I feel like crying and don’t know what to do. My Dr asked me to do a routine blood test to repeat my prescription. The results were; TSH 0.14 FT4 20 Vitamin D 57. N nmol/L less than 75nmol/L is insufficient I have been taking 3000iu of vit D a day for the last 3 months yet my vit D is still insufficient

Here again with more weird symptoms! Anyone help?
Sooo I have ended up here yet again! And really I have no idea what is going on with this body of mine! I am having another thyroid blood test next week - and I am also waiting for a salivary ultrasound for Sjogren's (which I have been waiting for since August...) To be honest I am not so sure my thyroid

1st admission & trying to make sense of it all
What a 24hrs it has been! After worsening symptoms and trying to treat at home I ended up in a&e. I was met with the same you’re talking, no wheeze & o2 maintaining. Instead this time I was like no I don’t always wheeze! They actually listened to me ( which was surprising) so a senior dr came along and

"Water weight"
Hope you guys following Lytham's Challenge are all still full of beans (in moderation, of course :) ). I noticed that some of you who started early, and are now approaching week 3, are enthused by some quite impressive initial weight loss. While it's great to see that downwards movement on the scales

Beginner
Hi all - need to try something else and am hoping I find something that I can finally stick with. Been to WW and Slimming World in the past but I always end up stopping after a few months and putting more weight back on. Am 55 this week and need some to get myself healthy! I’ve probably had weight issues

First week of LCHF completed
As I have written before, I couldn’t imagine a meal without carbs. We always had bread /pasta/rice or potatoes with every meal. A month ago I started the 12 week NHS diet and for first few weeks did really well and then it slowed to 1lb loss which demoralised me. Last Monday I accepted Lytham’s challenge

Prednisolone side effects
Hi everyone I have asthma which has worsened since I was ill with suspected Covid at the end of November. I was on a 5 day course of 30mg of prednisolone which improved things and my breathing was basically back to normal after 2 weeks. I then caught a cold and since then have had very tight chest despite
