There was a thread related to this a couple of weeks ago but I didn't feel it was appropriate to post in there.
I have an underactive thyroid and type 2 diabetes, plus treatment resistant depression, anxiety and muscle/joint pain. Yay.
I lost four stone last year, put it all back on this year. Mainly because I pretty much starved myself to lose that weight. This has been the same story for most of my adult life to be honest. Now I've got diabetes I spend most of my time panicking about it and desperately trying to lose weight, then just getting really miserable and giving up. Even after I lost four stone, I had a relapse of depression and that was it. All went back on. So, I'm thinking about trying low-carb.
On the thread I saw, this was posted without commentary:
Each article seems to say something conflicting. I have no idea what to think. The last thing I want to do is make myself worse. Is it just a case of "decide which source you want to believe" or is there something definitive available? Sorry if I sound a bit grouchy here, but I am horribly tired as usual and I really want to do the right thing.
