Hi, I'm a norwegian woman who will start the 5:2 next week. I've been living a lowcarb lifestyle for many years, but do have problems getting the pounds off (although I have managed to get of 10 kg the last 9 months, still have 30 kg more to loose), so I will try to combine these 2 ways of eating. ...

I make a cheesy taco soup that has salsa and Rotel. It was originally a low carb but somewhat higher calorie soup recipe I found online. http://genaw.com/lowcarb/creamy_sw_taco_soup.html But, I made substitutions like laughing cow cheese wedges, no heavy cream, smaller portions of ground turkey inst...

6mmol is still in the normal range. 6.1 and over is prediabetic. I think that you are going in the right direction with low carb. I held off for ages due to a passion for all things sweet but I honestly never looked back once I got my head round it. I did have a slight blip when I started 5:2 fastin...

A bit lethargic late in the afternoon, but not so different from any other day at that time. I also felt a bit wide-awake and ne...
