Hi all after almost 26 years has a type 1 diabetic I have found the best way to loose some weight has been no carbs not eating rice potatoes pasta and so far I have lost 20 kilos in 12 weeks eating really well using buckwheat instead of carb foods easy to prepare as well

I thought buckwheat was high carb but I certainly can't argue with your excellent results. How do you eat the buckwheat?

Pleased to hear that you have found something that works for you.

Unfortunately with 343 calories and 72 gms of carbohydrate per 100gms, that's just under 25% of the calories I eat now and just a little short of twice as much carb. I'd probably be ill advised to follow your example as the last time I took my GP's advice to eat more I gained 11 kgs!

Takes all sorts.
