[QUOTE="wolfie11969, post: 1470377, member: 210207"] What are people's thoughts on following either a low fat diet plan or a low carb diet plan? I was diagnosed Sept 2015 with Diabetes II after having a glucose test. Fast forward to today I managed to lose a stone in weight following weight watchers plan and gave up in late January when I found I had additional bills to pay. Now I am due to restart tomorrow after re-juggling finances and finding the money needed for the monthly fee. I've read a bit about low carb and I'm not sure if I should try to incorporate this into the low fat plan too so that perhaps I encourage my body to remove some of the weight it's carrying (I have a BMI of around 42 so I am considered severely (or whatever the word is nowadays) obese I understand low carb doesnt just take into account bread, cereals, pasta, potatoes etc but some other foods have a high carb content. (I will be reading some of the info on both of the low carb/low fat boards later) I have been going to a clinic at the local hospital for people who have weight problems (lipid clinic) and one of the doctors stated that for someone like me with my diabetes and intercranial hypertension surgery was my best option. I've done some research into that and I cant say I'm too keen, hence looking at alternatives. I'd be grateful if people could perhaps give me some indication as to what plan they feel works best. And if anyone has any articles I could look at I would be grateful too. Thankyou [/QUOTE]
