[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1601376, member: 438800"] I would second all those who are suggesting low-carb. It is not the only option, but (in my opinion) seems to make the most sense for T2s because it's not just a way of losing weight, but also to bring your blood glucose under control. It is however a lifetime commitment, not just a "diet" to lose weight. There are several caveats. You did not say whether you are taking any diabetes drugs. If you are, a low-carb diet may need to be balanced with medication dosage, in coordination with your doctor. It doesn't work for everyone, but it seems to work for quite a few people including me and a sizable portion of the people on this forum. Finally, it is controversial and you may get some resistance from your doctor or nurse. Edited to add: I did not go LCHF, but rather, LCLF (low-carb, low-fat) plus portion control (no calorie-counting, but that was the general result). I stuck it out for nearly three months until I got down to the weight I wanted, losing 10KG. At that point I abandoned the portion control. I now eat as much as I want, but have only slightly increased the fats -- and the fats are mostly in things like avocados, meat, and nuts. It remains "very low carb." [/QUOTE]
