Some interesting feedback back here. It's threads and postings like this that teach me how to effectively manage my own weight and health problems.

Someone on one of the threads mentioned on the forum was using a glucometer. Armed with this information I obtained one, and to my astonishment, discovered that I was prediabetic. This kind of feedback has enabled me to approach the diet differently. I have only just started this on this variation which previously showed BG (blood glucose) levels at around 126mg/dl but today the average readings have dropped to 95 mg/dl which I find intriguing. I am hopeful that through controlling BG levels that other benefits will arise. I am regarding this glucometer as an additional feature to LC.

I did find "razzle's" information interesting and I am about to look-up the URL mentioned.

Finally, haven't, as yet, lost any more weight but do feel rather good!
