I am starting this thread as discussion on this subject was happening on another thread
http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/cholesterol-shock.119466
I have done very low cal diets in the past and believe they have harmed me so I try to have at least 1200 cals a day now (more if I manage to stick to my carb allowance of 49g)
After reading the above thread though I am tempted to go back to my old ways. I have had 589 cals today (after my evening meal ) and would normally find ways to increase the total calorie intake. The old way of thinking of 'the less you eat, the more weight you lose' is so tempting, even though I know this thinking isn't right for me.
So what do others think?
