[QUOTE="alaska, post: 600432, member: 14213"] I was borderline underweight when I started low carbing. Whilst I've lost a few kgs on the low carb diet, my weight has stabilised. My BMI is now about 18.2 so just underneath the official healthy threshold but I feel as healthy as I ever have. Could your Mum's weight loss be related to not taking insulin doses sometimes? I say this as it could lead to ketones which are the energy byproduct of body fat (and sometimes muscle) being broken down. Getting the sugar levels down to normal may actually help reverse some of the weight loss, especially if your Mum eats regular meals. Personally, despite being a low body weight when starting low carb, it hasn't lead to any drastic loss of weight at any time. Ed [/QUOTE]
