Hi I have returned after falling off the wagon (again!) and need to lose a lot of weight as I am prediabetic. Just got this app to start low carbing is 60gm a day a good number to start with? I think realistically this is the lowest I can go.

I'm interested in the answers for this too. I'm preD + I need to lose A LOT of weight. I want to start carb counting, is 60gm a day a good figure to start with? with the inclusion that if I don't hv a result in weight loss, to then drop down to 40gm a day?

Yes I'm just peed off at the fact I have to cut way down on carbs + exercise every day when I don't feel like it! even though the rewards are great + if I succeed in losing more weight, I feel happier when I look in the mirror :)

Hey its not your fault you & I were born with this intolerance to carbs! Well that's what I call it anyway. Some are gluten intolerant & I am glucose intolerant. Some people are lucky can pig out on carbs everyday all their lives & never end up with prediabetes. I am prediabetic too + it is...

Love at first bite. Don't take the first bite. This is what I have to tell myself every time I am tempted. Sugar is definitely addictive. Takes a lot of mental strength. If I see cake in my house, I throw it to the birds. Out of sight out of mind.

If you've managed to get your fasting blood sugars down to the normal nondiabetic range, cld you pls tell me how u did it?

At least with diabetes you have a chance to control it. It is better than cancer.

To make it easier on myself, I cook once eat twice ie I cook leftovers from dinner for lunch the next day. Today had meatballs w salad for lunch & I threw in a couple of hard boiled eggs for snacks.

Thank you for that lol about the torture. I've been doing this low carb thing for a short while now & surprisingly no longer craving & because I'm eating more veg & cooking everything & a better diet overall, I am not nutritionally starved anymore. Amazing
