That's one thing I missed in the beginning :) A good book and a packet of crisps!! Try melting some cheese in the oven. They come out crispy, cheesy snacks. Or have salty nuts, takes the salt craving away...

I have a very small evening meal, only vegies. Maybe that's why?

Fasting is really efficient, but can be hard if you have to cook for others. Low carb, not too much fat is also really good for weightloss. Don't give up :)

Day 2 of 6-800 cal fast. 5.0 FBG Weight 52.9 Much easier than last I tried fasting. I go with easy, no breakfast, salad with chicken and feta for lunch, small vegie stirfry for dinner at 7pm. Not really counting calories or following recipes, too much like hard work for me. No major exercise...

5.0 this am Day 2 of fast

Well, I'm just trying to figure out if there's any correlation between normal response to high carb and low FBG. I've noticed other posts, more men, quoting FBG in the 4's and claiming reversal. Makes sense your FBG is lower if your response to a high carb meal is normal ?? And isn't it very...

Even though I do eat all the fat that I want, I must agree with you that an Atkins style diet is not for me either. I like my vegies too much and really don't eat much fat, just more than I used to and without guilt. I suppose it makes sense as you get fitter and more healthy everything works...

Yes, I've seen more posts from men doing weightlifting, HIIT and such and being very successful. Might be a mix of weight loss, extreme low carb diet/IF and gaining some muscle?? Makes sense that it's not just one miraculous thing that will reverse diabetes, but a combination of things..

Hmm, great sites. It does sound like the way you lose weight is as important as actually losing the weight. Very interesting, I do like Jason Fung and his views on intermittent fasting, seems it's the way to go :) Thanks

So you truly believe it's the magic 20% ??

Yes, I can't eat any white carbs at all as well. Do you believe you can be "cured" to the level where you can eat some bread without spiking? Is it easier for men (more muscle mass) than women?

Had to google "Newcastle diet " ;) Seems that it was the weight loss that did it for you then, like Mosley's Blood sugar diet. Has anyone reversed diabetes without going super skinny, to your knowledge?

Thanks, same to you :)

What a great story :) I wish you all the best in the future :D

Having been diagnosed in November 16 with pre-diabetes I was super keen to try and reverse my diabetes like "the ones on the internet" had done. First step done, lost more than 10 kilos, controlling my BG reasonably well with low carb diet, but I still don't feel "cured"? So after a bit...

5.7 this am, 53.0 kg... 5 day fast begins. Hoping to lose 2kg this week, then I'll have lost 20% of pre-diagnosis weight :)

Actually pretty good advice, thanks :) Really quite scared of getting under 50kg but I suppose I should try. Would love to reverse the diabetes completely and I am pretty stubborn, so I'm sure I can do it!! Thanks again :D

FBG 6.4 yesterday (****** dinner, no vegies) 5.6 today and every time I have creamy mushroom sauce with meat and loads of vegies

You're welcome, I believe weightloss is fine, but you can have a perfect BG without losing much weight just by cutting down on the carbs that you are "allergic"too. Don't stress the weightloss. For a real yummy snack try cheese cake without the base. Basically some sugarfree jelly, cream cheese...

But I'll be too skinny then :( In a way I think it's better when you are a bit heavier when diagnosed, then it's possible to lose the 20%
