Blipped back! Business trip banished!
Just to prove my point from my Saturday weigh-in post business trip – where I apparently put on 6.1lbs in just a few days – today I weighed in and have “lost” 6lbs!! This just highlights the comment I made, that kind of rapid weight gain during an extended period of ketogenic dieting, exercise, and…

My biggest weight loss week so far! An absolutely stonking week!
My final weigh-in this week, and it did not disappoint! This is why I don’t worry about the odd “birthday blip” on my weight loss and diabetic reversal journey. I weighed in this morning and – fanfare please…. I am now an increasingly svelte 16 st 7.7 lbs (231.7 lbs / 105.3 kg). That’s a…

The Birthday “Blip” is gone (and it took some friends with it!)馃槀
Well, that didn’t take long! In my last post, I talked about my聽 “Birthday Blip” – a 1.7 lb gain after a week of entirely expected birthday celebrations. But even when you plan for a fall the landing still bruises the ego. You know it’s probably just water weight when you see the scale move…

Blood pressure results signal success
Despite my slight weight gain blip, it’s great to see that my blood pressure is doing just fine! I accidentally let myself run out of one of my blood pressure medications this week. It was a simple enough error, and a knock-on effect from the reduction in my BP meds I spoke about previously. I…

The birthday blip! “Life gets in the way”
Last week was not only my birthday, but also that of my partner. We had planned a quiet celebration dinner at a local steakhouse, and I had further plans at the weekend with friends and family. I knew going into that week that I was not going to lose weight, and had budgeted for it…

Back on track with another 2.8lbs week!
It’s been a while since I’ve posted, which usually means I haven’t made much progress. That is both true and not. During the flu bug and blood pressure issues I reported, I was unable to exercise or fast. I did try to get back to fasting, but a natural side effect of a fast is…

Self-medicating – managing the downturns
In my last post, I was riding high on hitting the 10% clinical weight loss milestone and finishing my first 36-hour fast since the flu. I thought I was back on track. But as it turns out, the ‘Machine’ had one more lesson for me this weekend. While my flu was gone, the fainting spells…

A week off due to illness, but now firmly back on track
After my flu bug and mysterious fainting spells were resolved, I’ve been gradually recovering. That meant not only letting my flu bug run it’s course but nore importantly, giving my blood pressure a chance to adapt to the lower dose of my main BP medication. As I previously reported, the ‘mysterious’ fainting was actually a…

The 10% Milestone: Why being “too healthy” is not for the faint-hearted! 馃槒
So – I finally got to see my GP this evening. I鈥檒l admit, I was feeling a bit down in the dumps after those recent fainting spells, but it turns out the news is actually all good! I鈥檝e mentioned before that a major clinical target for diabetics is to lose 10% of their body weight.…

Stop! Fast! Lessons in electrolytes and limits
Well鈥攖hat escalated quickly! I thought I was just fighting a scratchy throat, but this evening took a serious turn. After a series of coughing fits, I actually fainted on the sofa during a particularly strong cough! For some context, my type 2 diabetes was originally “announced” two years ago by serious hypertension. At its worst,…
