Hello all, so I started working on my eating a few weeks ago, just focusing more on how much I'm eating overall and not really my macros. once I felt I was eating a reasonable amount and my appetite had curbed, I started low carb. My goal was to start off at half of what I had been recommended...

So I got back from the hospital. Got some routine bloodwork done as well as getting checked out for some things. Other than having diabetes, I am a fairly healthy individual and set to start my LCHF diet tomorrow :) It'll be tough and I feel I'm going to end up undereating my first few days, but...

Unforunately I'm not in the UK. I'm in America :( idk if that makes a difference but I think I will just count carbs and fiber as separate entities.

Hey all, one more quick question. I've been doing a ton of research the last few days and I keep seeing "net carbs" which is apparently total carbs-fiber. Here do you guys believe in that or is it just a carb= a carb? I'm trying my best to learn from you all because you've all been successful...

@kokhongw @satkins I don't mind waiting to start exercising. I do plan on going Low carb soon. I guess I just have two questions: 1) What about work? I am a student who works part time in a lab (which requires a fair amount of standing) and part time in a fast food place (which requires a fair...

Thank you all for the support! Wow it's crazy how fast that happened, I'm kinda emotional about it lol. This is a good community. I am currently looking through all the links you guys posted. @muzza3 I have my own kit for testing, but affording the strips is becoming a bit of a problem. Though...

Hello all, I was diagnosed in August with type 2. I know it is a new development because I get my blood tests every year and in AUgust of 2014 my blood sugars were normal. However, I gained about 40 pounds due to dealing with depression/taking meds, and that may have been what sent me over the...
