Low Carb Diet

34 replies

ScrubsandBubs · 02/08/2019 08:17

Im considering following a low carb diet.
I've done slimming world before and lost 4 stone but that has started to creep back on and I'm frankly bored with SW
I love meat, fish,eggs,butter, cheese fruit and veg and have a very sweet tooth! I also love bread but I know when I eat loads of bread I feel bloated and sluggish.
So, is it just a case of cutting all bread, rice potato from my diet?
Any help gratefully received🍒

Are you saying your GB op and your PA are due to low carb? That would be an odd correlation. It's far more likely that they are due to age / proximity to menopause / long term weight and lifestyle.

I do not know anything about PA, but rapid weight loss is a known cause for GB problems.

You don't think being overweight for years before the weight loss might have contributed more given that being overweight is a known contributor?

Interested in this thread?

And with enough dairy / protein PA isn't a major risk.

Oh of course, I knew the mumsnet medical side would know better lol. Of course the doctor and the specialists both said it was. I wouldn’t have said otherwise.

Yes dear.

Make cloud bread. It's basically eggs and cream cheese baked. Nice for sandwiches or toasted. I use the BBC recipe.

I have had GB problems (sludge) and was told by the radiographer that this had been caused by rapid weight loss. However, unlike Satsuma1234 I was not overweight as I went from 54 to 48kg.

Thanks all, I plan to start slowly. I've read that it helps to take magnesium supplements when low carbing?
