I've been taking flax seeds since my vsg.  I don't think Dukan is for me, but thanks for the comments.

Thanks for the reply, I don't think the Dukan Diet is for me as it's the fat that keeps me full and happy!  Still, it was worth a look!

Topic: RE: Dukan Diet?
Thanks for that.  I went onto the Dukan website and put in my weight history.  Apparently , at 15 stone and 12 pounds I.m at my 'ideal' weight and shouldn't try to lose any more!  I really must ignore my GP and bring my carbs down to 20 grams a day...

Topic: RE: Dizzy
Dizziness can have many causes.  Journal when it happens and call your doctor.  Jot down what you've eaten, fluids, meds, activity etc.  Jot down things like happens upon standing or at a certain time of day, etc.  A journal will help your doctor pinpoint possible causes.  Good luck.

Topic: RE: KILL THE CARB MONSTER, HOW DO YOU DO IT?
Thanks for the ideas.  As a rule I only keep protein and veg around the house.  Foods from outside are the problem.  If I would just stick to what's on hand I'd be fine. 

One day at a time.  Big sigh.  Perhaps I should shut myself off fom the world.  Cravings are pulling me away from my own pantry.   God give me strength.

I'm with you on the no such thing as good carbs.  It was simple 'healthy' brown rice that spurred these cravings.

I'm a huge fan of calling the doctor and asking him/her.

There are a lot of different types of "dizzy" and a bajillion more reasons for any of them.  

Ask
your
doctor!!!!

 Paul, sorry it took me so long to respond.  The Dukah diet is essentially the Stillman diet from the 1970s.  

There are problems with going both low carb and low fat.  The people who do it tend not to feel well, and there are other problems.  Research Stillman, and see what you find, I guess!

For me it is diheydration and lower Blood pressure. Also - lack of minerals.  I added more salt to my food (good natural mineral rich salts) and feel better...
