[QUOTE="Goonergal, post: 1535430, member: 368709"] Hi [USER=414193]@Janjoy32[/USER] and welcome! How are your blood sugar levels doing since diagnosis? For me that is the most important aspect to managing your diet. I've found that I have to go very low in carbs to keep my blood sugars down, but this is not the same for everyone - using a meter (and the ones suggested by [USER=379847]@AM1874[/USER] are both good options) will help you to identify an eating pattern that works for you. The relentless demonisation of fat is not helpful and I'd urge you to do some more research around that. Again from personal experience I have found that eating full fat foods and not worrying about fat on meat has not interfered with weight loss and my cholesterol numbers have improved. If you don't want to lose much more weight, then I think you'll need to experiment with both quantities of food and the balance between fat, protein and carbs. There's lots of helpful information in the various forums in the food and nutrition section of this site. [/QUOTE]
