8 Week Blood Sugar Diet - How much did you lose??

Hi

I have this book and I am thinking about giving this a try after failing at just about every other diet! Coincidentally I also have almost exactly 8 weeks until an event that I would really like to lose as much weight as possible for. I’m really trying to get motivated and would love to hear from anyone who has done this – how much did you lose in your first 8 weeks? How did you find it?

I lost 25 pounds. It's fine, so long as you are mostly in situations where you are in control of your food. It's harder when you have to navigate going out/being away, I find. And you do need to be really strict. If you let yourself have little bits of carbs, you will get the carbs cravings which are so hard to resist. But if you cut it out, you soon find you don't crave them at all, and you should not feel hungry either. Currently doing it again after an 18 month break and I've lost 20 pounds in the first 6 weeks, so on track for a similar amount this time.

Here's our BSD thread if you would like to join us on there

I lost 21lbs in my first 8 week stint, but overall have now lost around 2.5-3 stone and pretty much kept it off

Thanks for the replies - that's given me a little bit of hope that I can still make a difference in that time!
