Mrs MF did the lighter life and dropped 3 stone in a few months. This in turn though kicked off a neurological condition she had not had since she was a teenager and took her out of circulation for 3 months and has had her on medication for a year. Now having piled 3 stones back on over the year she's been feeling lethargic for a few weeks. Last night she took her blood sugar level and it's near 12-14. She's now just gone for an emergency doctors appointment.

Yoyo weight loss / gain is not safe

Ouch, sorry to hear that.

Speaking of LL, I have yet to hear any positive stories about it. Does seem to be a tad extreme which is not good for your system.

You basically starve your body. Total 300/500 calories a day maximum. It's got written drastic weight loss / unhealthy written all over it.

Type 2. She had gestational when we had DS1 and I believe it means you're at high risk for the future.

Problem is everyone wants the miracle weight loss and forget your need to work at it and be sensible.

Sure does, a lot of illnesses can manifest in pregnancy and leave you at risk of developing a disease later in life.

Sorry to hear trhat - Mrs BP was diabetic but is no longer.

IANAD but I think that diabetes unlikely to be caused by weight swings. It is the high weight that is the issue.

Mrs BP lost tons of weight and is no longer diabetic. She has a top secret weight loss method that I cannot divulge.

No exercising. But you want to eat alot less of all foods and your appetite for fatty foods is diminished.
