Ok I'm about to start this journey to attempt to get back to my old self. I weighed myself today and just broke down as I've never ever been so heavy and in these last 6 months I've not changed what or how much I eat. Now I really want to see both weight loss and the drop back to normal levels. I want to follow the low carb high fat diet even though my Doctor said, no you can't diet eating high fat!! My question is as a prediabetic what should be a good start point for carb allowance per day? I need to loose 10% of my weight according to my doc, but I know I need to loose a lot more...10% would not even get me back to where I was at the start of this year. I've gained about 24lb. I feel so ashamed and hideous right now. I'd like to loose 3 stone and I'd be 11 stone. The lowest I've weighed in about 20 years! It will be hard but I want to start planning my meals and really need to know my carb level allowance...I will also be testing once I get my meter.
Thank you all.
Pics are me at 12stone and the awful one today 14 stone
