Experiences with

Gluten-free diet

I have been really good on a very low carb no sugar regime. Does anyone else have a day/meal that involves lots of carbs. Tempted to occasionally have fish and chips or a very carb orientated pizza!

Hi. I’m wondering if there is anyone on here who has undergone a single mastectomy with implant reconstruction who would be willing to share their experience post op and beyond? I am due to undergo this procedure, and am particularly keen to know how it is living with one natural breast and one reconstructed

I am wondering if anyone can give me some dietary advice. I am type 2 diabetic, so need to avoid sugars. I have had heart attack, stents and bypass surgery, and was advised to follow a low carb, high protein diet. But now I have developed a gall bladder problem and am told I need to go on a low fat diet

Hi. I know this will sound odd, but here goes. I’ve just had a couple of stents fitted and been diagnosed with unstable Angina. I have no problem changing my diet to low salt, low sugar, wholemeal/wholegrain, no red meat or processed food and getting plenty of exercise. What I stupidly don’t know is

I've been binge-watching this guy's videos lately, and came across this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7j7x_ojSHk It turns out that HM is a low-carb fan ... although mainly, it seems, as a cunning plan to offset the indulgence of afternoon tea. Skip through to 8:23 if you don't have time for the whole

I am trying to get my head round the LCHF diet. Can anyone recommend a book or online site I can read up and follow with recipes etc. Thanks

free diet - it didn’t make any difference.

I am now on a gluten free diet - and have lost over 2 stones in weight (which I haven't been trying to do and I didn't lose any weight until July when it suddenly started to drop off), and have had some strange things happen with my skin which I can't really pinpoint to weight loss.

Humans have been eating saturated fats since before we were human, before we were hominids, before we were primates, before we were mammals. Seed oils have been around in quantity for a little over 100 years. Rapeseed oil/canola was poisonous until the 1970s. The claim that a fat that we have been eating

It seems, that even when I try 1/4 mgm decreases, I feel ill. My rheumatologist ordered a morning cortisol level after a 24 hour “fast” from prednisone. The endocrinologist consult ordered the test after 48 hours but I felt very ill and popped a 5mgm dose about an hour before the blood draw so the

Does anyone have cholesterol issues? I am so happy that stopping dairy and watching my protein intake (mostly plant based now) has helped me raise my gfr from level 3 to level 2 but yesterday’s meeting with my dr revealed that I now have cholesterol issues. Hard to believe...I was always a low carb eater

I am not expecting any of you to join me - but this might be of interest. I have been doing a 100-hour water fast every month, but I do not need to lose weight, so I do not need the calorie restriction of a water fast - and I do get low on energy on a 100-hour water fast. I do not have diabetes or any

My antibody rates are also climbing, despite me being on a more or less paleo/gluten free diet for the past year. I did see a functional doctor a year ago and tried various supplements along with the diet but again it didnt seem to have much effect.

I’m sure I’m not the only one that has noticed that you don’t have as many bowel movements, unless it’s just me, is this because you are taking in more goodness so less waste,

Hi there, i was diagnosed with gallstones in may 2020. At the time i couldnt have anything done as i was pregnant and in my third trimester. Since then i have made frequent visits to a&e for pain relief. They hve sent me home with co amoxiclav 4 times as always showing infection. I have also had ERCP

First post on here, and after feeling so poorly over the years and eating too much sugar, I finally had a light bulb moment and gave my head a good wobble, and thought I think I’m making myself worse continuously eating crap, I know it’s taken me years, I’m 63 years old 15 stone so I’ve been on this

I have just recently started 10 days ago this type of healthy eating I’m being very strict and 8 must say I feel wonderful no bloating I need seriously to lose 3 and half stone as I weighed 15 stone and in 10 days I’ve dropped 6 pounds, I know this is water, but I still feel elated, I know that I’ve
