[QUOTE="Benchie, post: 2092409, member: 107798"] Hi, I would also recommend diet doctor.com. There are some great articles, ideas and recipes on there. I particularly found the articles by Dr. Jason Fung very useful. If you would like a reference book with recipes to go to i would suggest The Diabetes Weight Loss Book by Katie and Giancarlo Caldesi. It has a foreword by Dr. David Unwin who has done some great work in this area. For me it was important to understand that you don't have to follow one method rigidly. Low carb can work without having to go into ketosis. Also fasting can be good but it takes some experimentation to find what will work for you. Personally I found that missing a meal on some days and going 16 hours without eating works for me. I was too hungry after fasting for 24 hours and would then overeat, where I don't with 16 hours. I was also a bit too liberal with fats early on and had to tweak that. I did fall off the wagon for 2-3 weeks as well but managed to get back on and now it is working much better for me by learning the lessons from when I first started. I started this some time around the middle to the end of April and I have lost almost two stone despite putting some weight back on when I stopped eating low carb. I was 20 stone so it is a bit easier for me to lose the weight. Another thing that I had to learn is that whilst it is important to lose weight the most important thing is to lower my blood glucose levels. Monitoring those every day really helps me. If I don't lose much weight o e week as long as my blood glucose levels are good I am happy. I do exercise which is good for my health and stress levels etc. It doesn't seem to be that important in terms of weight loss however. There is an interesting article on diet doctor, sorry, having trouble pasting the link, and weight loss is listed at number 15. So please don't worry about not being able to exercise much. It really is about trial and error and finding what will work for you in the long term so that you can maintain that. Try not to be too hard on yourself, accept that you will make mistakes sometimes and keep calm and carry on. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
