Wow, great start!Hi I’m a newly diagnosed Type 2 and would like to join this thread for support and info. I’m 95.5kg which is 4.5kg loss in the month since diagnosis - which included Xmas and NY.
I’m trying a low calorie low carb approach.
I’ve a big holiday in 4 weeks and want to be in best shape I can. Would love to reverse my diabetes.
Hi @Lindap118, looks like you are doing great with the weight loss, is there a particular reason why you are trying low cal/low carb rather than one or the other?Hi I’m a newly diagnosed Type 2 and would like to join this thread for support and info.

Hi Ryhia,Hi @Lindap118, looks like you are doing great with the weight loss, is there a particular reason why you are trying low cal/low carb rather than one or the other?
Hello Friday Weighers and a Happy New Year to you all.
@Lotties A three day fast! That's amazing. Something I could not do so well done you for sticking to it.
@sno0opy back to pre-xmas weight already. Great effort.
@aard Welcome to the thread. Your goal seems possible to me. But then I have a different issue. Looking forward to getting to know you.
@Lindap118 Welcome. Great start to your journey towards better health. Low calorie and low carb don't you get hungry? How do you manage?
@Ryhia maintaining weight with no gain over Xmas. That's a win in my book.
@JohnEGreen . Small step in right direction at a time of year full of tempting food. It shows your self control is good.
This week weight is 47kg exactly. A microscopic increase.
If you are adding fat foods that's good as it will make you feel fuller longer. There are people on this forum who have completed the Newcastle Diet using shakes and have gained remission - just post a thread if you have any questions and I am sure they will respond. I did not use shakes etc, I made home made soups, salads and other light meals. I lost 10kg and managed to lower my bloods to just within pre diabetes levels (47) but if I am honest I was quite disappointed as I kept reading of others who had lowered their blood levels into the 30s after 3 months by eating low carb. Everyone is different though and as you can see from my signature I have managed to lower my blood levels to what are considered "normal" levels. Bloods have remained relatively stable although I have to eat a very low carb diet to achieve this.Hi Ryhia,
I am doing low calorie - trying 800 calories for a while as I believe this may help reverse my new diagnosis. I am also trying to spend my 800 calories on protein and fat foods as it goes a lot further than if I spend them on carbs. Also I keep reading about how t2 diabetics are sensitive to carbs so that sealed it..
I have just taken delivery of a month’s food box from Exante - the bars soups and shakes replacement plan. I’ve never done anything like this before and am going to give it a whirl - I’ll post how it goes.
Thank you for your interest - it helps

Thank you. Your numbers look very good to me - I’m going to try and emulate your progress.If you are adding fat foods that's good as it will make you feel fuller longer.

Well done @Lindap118. Low carb, low cal is my only way of losing weight with my once severe insulin resistance. It's a very tough regime and stomach reduction helped me hugely. I'm still not the final product but so much nearer than I've ever been.Hi I’m a newly diagnosed Type 2 and would like to join this thread for support and info.
