Hi 😆

Quick potted history. Lost three stone on SW about 10 years ago quite easily but was mobile then. Now I’m completely bedbound and can’t move very much.

Fast forward to last year I was approaching 20 stone, I’m bedbound and likely to be here for the foreseeable and no health professional seemed bothered 🙄

Started eating a Keto diet and have lost 32lb last year but before Christmas the losses stopped and I have stayed the same weight since then ☹️ People can only surmise the ‘extra’ weight tha went on due to illness was inflammation which has now gone . Or something. I don’t even understand 🙄

Considering trying Slimming World although I didn’t have any losses last year in it, as apparently there’s some sort of insulin resistance you can have which is an imbalance... again I’m not entirely sure I even half understand that but ‘they’ say that more carbs might be in order

So... has anyone gone from Keto to SW and not put all the weight back on? I’m really really scared that I will 😢 although looking at RED/Original which I never tried before years back it seems a lot like Keto only you can eat sugar and more carbs. Just less of the butter and cream 🤣

Sorry if this doesn’t make sense I’ve read it over and over and I think it does... but my illness means that I can’t process words very well sometimes so this may well be entirely gobbledygook 🤣

Getting ready to go from High to low fat on Monday . Eek. I’m expecting some gain right away so I won’t panic unless it doesn’t come back off again

Hello!

So you need more carbs due to your illness? SW you have free carbs but to lose weight I portion rather than see them as free as much as I like x

Yeah more carbs than 20 which is the top limit I had on Keto. An apple would smash that I think 🤔

Day one done... can’t wait to see how much i gain in a week 😂...not....
