[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 2589141, member: 88961"] When diagnosed, I didn't have oddles to lose either, but I did have "love handles", which disappeared in short order when I began low carbing. When looking to stall weight loss I would urge you to do one thing at a time. I addressed my challenge in the following way. It was a slow process, but has allowed me to become a stable, slight T2, with a fighting weight circling the low end of the (albeit very flawed) BMI scale. Firstly, I just had slightly larger portion sizes of what I was eating. That may have slowed things a bit, but didn't do the trick. Next I concentrated on adding more protein (and as such reducing veg a little to make tummy room. Still not quite the answer. Finally, I added nut, in measured "doses". Not because that's how I live my life, but so that I could understand exactly what was going into my body to achieve a status quo. Only then could I start to meddle a bit more in terms of general meals. Now? My eating is almost by instinct, although I am away on a long trip at the moment and have lost weight, which I am addressing by means of pork scratchings (the local, street vendor scratchings are incredible!), and keto, sugar free icecream, as sold by the gym in our building. :):):) I seem to have stabilised my loss again at last, but will have to claw that couple of kilos over time - likely when I get home, next month. It's not a quick fix, to gain weight, based on nutritionally dense foods, not padding. (Just to add if I really overdose on fats my relationship with the little room closens, so I di have to be a little careful of that. You may get away with mainlining cheese or butter, but for me that's a bit of a Russian Roulette.) [/QUOTE]
