Hi everyone, i am new to this forum and also to low carb dieting.

I am 42, married with two teenage boys, two dogs and live in Staffordshire.

I’m hoping to get lots of useful ideas, suggestions as to help me move forward to a healthier me as I am desperate to lose weight.

I have never needed to diet much but due to my health deteriorating and being on lots of medication my weight has increased somewhat.

I’m happy to be here to try and help support others too and make new friends.

Welcome
You have found a great forum for LC information...look around the many topics, read back through the threads of interest, and ask questions.

I read a new success story written by a UK GP who also read Tom Kerridge's book. https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb-diet-wow-worked I’ll have to look for that book here...inspiring and with good recipes, sounds a winner. If you want a simple explanation of how low carb works, that same website has a good one, including a one page brochure you can print out and take shopping with you. https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb

All the best,

EDIT Add: in January 2017, the Dopamine Diet low carb diet book was published, and in December 2017 he published a low calorie book too. Ummm...hope he didn’t change his advice about low carb...stick with the first one

Best to you StressHead, you can do this! You might check out Dr Atkins books he has a chapter about medications that can slow weight loss, if you have issues.
