I have lost 1/6 th of my body weight .. Twice .. The first time many years ago on a calorie reduced diet .. It was sheer hell .. Small amounts of food ..hungry all the time ... But I did it ... It was impossible to keep the weight off due to the hunger . Slowly my calories increased .. As did my weight ( I was not diabetic then )
The second time was when I was told I was T2 ... My weight has steadily reduced ..without hunger .. In 18 months I have easily lost 5st .. This is 25% of my body weight .. I am not dieting ! I have just changed my way of eating .. I am Low Carb High Fat way of eating and it brilliant ... I am also vegetarian... On the plus side my diabetes is in remission .. As I can eat the odd higher carbs foods and it has no impact on my blood sugar whatsoever! But I am not to keen on the high carb foods now, as my taste has changed towards carb laden foods ... I eat around 30 to 50g of carbs in a day ... And now my weight loss has slowed down, which is fine for me as it gives me time to get some new clothes .. My old ones just hang off me ..or fall to the floor
