[QUOTE="NoCrbs4Me, post: 683507, member: 113206"] [SIZE=4]I love my veggies too. I eat about a kilo of them a day. I'm not on Atkins. I am actually not following any official fad diet - just removed most carbs. The day I got my blood glucose meter I started reducing carbs. I had bought into the "whole grain" thing, but found out that was not working for as all carbs, except lactose in milk, spiked my blood glucose. I also found the lower my carb intake went the better I felt. I have tried many times in my life to lose weight, always by calorie restriction by reducing fat intake. It works for a 2 or 3 months, then I fall off the wagon. I feel that the way I am eating now is sustainable. No cravings, hunger, tiredness, boredom, etc. Actually, I'm mildly concerned that when I reach my weight goal it will be tricky to stop the weight loss. Yes, most definitely type 2 diabetics need to figure out what works for them. Lots can tolerate low GI carbs. But what irks me is that health professionals, especially diabetic specialists, are trained to tell patients they must eat lots of carbs - the same amount as recommended for people without diabetes. I believe this is terrible advice and will make many (most?) type 2 diabetics slowly deteriorate when followed.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
