Good evening all,
Before I was diagnosed I weighed 17 stone and an 6ft1. My BMI is stupid. Once I got diagnosed at new year, I thought right, I was planning on losing weight and now my diagnosis pretty much pushed me.
Since the start of the year, I haven't had any junk food, no pasta, white rice, takeaways, fizzy drinks basically all I've been advised to stay away from.
Right now I still don't have the strength to use the gym as I was particularly weak before diagnosis and still weak now though not as much..
Weighed myself after over three weeks, I'm still 17 stone. No change and there's no way I am consuming close to 2000 calories a day, not even 1500 most days.
I don't know what type I have yet, but whilst they find out - they've put me on insulin.
I know seeing a dietician may help (I see one Tues) but from a weight loss perspective, if you don't eat the recommended calories a day then you should at least lose something.
Can anyone shed light on this or am I being impatient?
Tia.
