Hey Bron - long time no speak You have to keep the hotspot dry - I usually dab with some form of alcohol and then blow dry before applying plain white zinc cream or you can use Rectinol If she gets them all the time it's worth looking at the cause, one of my boys has a beef allergy and always breaks out in hotspots if I feed him beef.

I just mean because I think those 'fat burners' are a waste of money. If you are following a low carb diet you are already burning fat for fuel - it's not going to happen faster because of some supplement. Guess it depends on what you are taking though? I do take supplements - fish oil, a multi vitamin and I take glucosamine and chondroitin for my joints.

Wouldn't imagine that burning fat for fuel would be a bad thing. In fact it's the best way to lose weight, particularly if you are diabetic (I am) My concern would be taking those supplements in the first place.

Weight Watchers make a diet fruit and jelly cup which I find great for those sweet cravings - only 1 gram per cup, but I have always used diet jelly otherwise without any problems.

Maybe you should get a hold of a copy of DANDR (Atkins Diet) or find the info here. That is quite a lot of carbs to be eating - you are having a reasonablt high carb breakfast, lunch and snacks. You'd find your BSL will drop dramatically when you cut those carbs out

Lindylu you don't actually say what you are eating - are you following Low Carb? I'm type 2 also and have been LC for quite a while now. The only time my levels go high is if I have eaten something I shouldn't.

The Biggest Loser one is probably the best one although the personal trainer one is good too. You can start at a high level if you are already active.

Wow that was an old thread - just looked at my last response. I ahven't been to Contours in over a year Still love the weights at the gym though and yes Fruittart, I agree those squats and deadlifts really do pump up the cardio too!!

I eat them very occassionally. They are very low carb but have heaps of other crap in them.

Hey Jak, I do at least that amount of exercise. The only thing I do differently now is maybe have a little bit more carbs before a workout and I have a protein shake afterwards if I feel I need it. Muscle burns more calories than fat anyway so your body is burning more fuel 24/7

I love my organic fruit/veg, I've been getting mine delivered for a few years now. Also eggs and milk.

I use BSC protein shakes - don't taste too bad.

Can't speak for anybody else but I would use it. I count 20 carbs a day regardless of where they come from and stay in K. (Most of my carbs do come from vegies/salad)

I would think the husks would work in that department but I don't have that problem You could also add extra fibre with Metamucil if you need it.

That is horrendously high!! My BSL would be way out of control on that.

I use the husks, works a treat.

Awesome progress!! You're going great, you must really notice the difference now

Gosh I think I hate that photo now But it is nice to look back on I suppose.

Hey there and welcome I don't do BT, I follow Atkins but can you do BT and not have the free day? That would be my undoing!!
