Is there anything I can do to halt my disease progression?
Is there anything else I can do to halt my disease progression? My current GFR is 86 and I'm just trying to stop this thing before it gets out-of-hand. I currently do not eat refined sugar, gluten, or red meat. I have been sticking to a low sodium diet as well and eat mostly vegetables and fruit. I am

Hospital trips and covid
Hi Has anyone been to hospital with their normal astma symptoms? I ask as I have been three times. Each time I've been treated with the assumption I have covid. They wait for test to come back before moving me to a cold ward. Its made me very nervous about asking for help and only go when my wife

Tuesday - pancake day
All this talk of waffles, anyone got a good low carb pancake mix for next Tuesday please. Only one I can find is made with almond flour more like drop scones did a dummy run and we found them acceptable but gritty?

Bone broth vs collagen powder
I've been looking at LCHF recipes which include collagen powder as an ingredient. I googled that to find out what it is. The answer scared me but then I read that bone broth has a useful supply of collagen. Does anyone take collagen powder or make bone broth? If so, how?

Low carb.....again.
In my never ending search for more low carb goodies to brighten my life I spend many an hour searching the web, there are numerous helpful sites and blogs. Another of my hunting grounds is Amazon, looking inside recipe books. The other day I discovered chaffles, a low carb waffle. Basically a batter

Question about asthma and mucus
Hi all hope your staying safe So I'm still struggling with stopping smoking and have had a phlegmy cough for ages now, and I'll cough up thick mucus. Does mucus form in airways?? As I have never been sure about this, I also need to loose weight as I'm around 35 pounds overweight but it's not easy to

Asthma or Covid-19?
Any advice last week I developed shortness of breath which lead me to Amu unit. All stats were normal, ECG was clear, chest x Ray clear, Doctor said I didn't have covid lung, bloods taken, all fine except raised d dimer (blood clot) of 538. Had ultrasound scan on left leg no clot found. Doctor said probably

Improved Fibroscan with low carb diet
HI everyone: After losing 75 pounds with a low carb diet (i weighed 225 due to an anti depressant), my Fibroscan total fat level went down from approximately 75%(over 325) to under 10% (225). The diet was very very challenging, but feeling proud that I did it...now to stay on the diet to keep blood

Losing weight too fast?
I was reading around and I came across some suggestions that if you lose weight too quickly that your body goes into starvation lockdown, you stop losing weight and it hampers your ongoing weight-loss. Does anyone have any experience of this please? To give context, over a 29 week period, I've lost 28.5

Lunch inspirations
As some newbies have joined recently I thought you might like to see my lunch today. I only eat two meals a day, low carb, high fat. On the right is miso and sea vegetable soup 🥣 with fried cauliflower, spinach, mushrooms and cream, top is a cucumber, egg and spinach raita. On the left, nibbles were

Raised GGT & ALT and generally feeling unwell.
Hi there, I'm new to all this and was wondering if anyone had any advice to try and ease my mind. I have been quite ill for a few months (bouts of diarrhoea, sickness, stomach pain and bloating and generally feeling crappy and lethargic). 3 weeks ago I ended up in excruciating pain just under my ribs

Feel so low
Good morning Today I have woken feeling poorly and not well inside my body. It’s hard to explain. I have been following low carb for 3 weeks and although I had a loss first week 8lbs I have stayed the same the last 2 weeks. I do feel I have lost inches but just don’t feel healthy if that makes sense?

Looking to try the LCHF as a last resort!
Hi all, I am a newbie. I would like to know the specifics of the low carb high fat diet, the induction phase and weight loss phase meals and what to eat at these stages, perhaps a meal plan for these stages if that's ok. Looking for a sustainable weight loss, and determination to see it thru this time

How Do I Handle My Severe Stress?
I'm new here. My husband has diabetes and kidney disease with projected dialysis beginning in 2 to 4 years. He's been on a low carb diet, lost a lot of weight, reduced his insulin significantly, when suddenly, almost overnight, his creatinine levels went bad. Now his blood pressure is very high (200

What now
I have lost 4 stone in the past 18 months and got my blood sugar down to normal levels by cutting carbs increasing protein and fat... However, I have now been diagnosed with CHD which means no red meat and cutting down on white meat and low fat. My question is what do I eat now? Obviously LCHF is
