[QUOTE="Dr Snoddy, post: 1876670, member: 112460"] I saw a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes as a wake up call. Looking at the possible complications of poor control of blood glucose really scared me and gave me the impetus to change my lifestyle. After researching the options which you seem to be doing I decided that a low carb, medium healthy fat route was worth a go and one that might be sustainable in the long term. (Had been a life-long yo-yo dieter). I decided to base every meal around protein with very little carbohydrate and some fat for flavour and satiation. I eat 3 meals a day and have an afternoon snack. In the first 5 months I lost over 2 stone and my blood glucose levels normalised. They have remained in the normal range for the past 4 years. My weight has also been stable which suggests that I am finally doing something right! I occasionally lapse and have something really carby but do not enjoy or crave these foods as I once did. I don't see my way of eating as drastic, punitive or difficult to do just different from an over-reliance on carbs. So, very limited sources of sugar and starches! And I still eat a lot of food!!
