I'm thinking of trying a low carb diet. Can you still loose weight whilst following it? I'm moving on to a pump next week, so I think I'll have wait a bit until everything settles down.
Hi JoJoS, I’m new to this forum and to low carb eating but for what it’s worth I’ve already lost weight in less than a week of low carb eating.
I’m loving this result, but what I love more is feeling clear headed because after meal spikes are so much lower and overnight my sleep quality is better even though I wake to check bsl ( I live alone) .
I have eaten plenty of nuts and cream and eggs and meat so I wasn’t convinced that I would lose weight straight away. This morning I’m working on my shopping list so that I make sure I’ve got the pantry and freezer loaded with good options. I didn’t mention but lots of salad and non starchy vegetables have also been consumed.
Looking at my app that I record everything I am putting so much less Humalog into my body on a daily basis and thus not ‘feeding’ that extra insulin with carbs.
