[QUOTE="seadragon, post: 1481932, member: 195124"] Hi - the Reversing diabetes site is good and their ideas are sound but they are a little draconian as in it's their way or the highway. While you are still eating porridge it may not be causing a rise in blood sugar but it may well be stopping you reaching a ketogenic state where your body is burning fat for fuel rathe than carbs. While you are stuck in an in-between state it may be you are in the worst of both worlds. It is worth giving their method a go and reducing carbs to an absolute minimum and give it at least two weeks. And even on a high fat diet it's possible to eat just too much. You eat til you feel feel and no more. Another very good site with a lot of scientific info is dietdoctor.com and you may find something there to help explain what is going on. I actually disagree with the reversing diabetes site about exercise too - had this argument with them already. I find a brisk walk after meals is very beneficial both for blood sugar and weight loss. I tried to do 20 minutes twice a day. Very strenuous exercise on the other hand can have the effect of raising blood sugars. You really need to use your meter to test this out for yourself as people react differently to exercise as they do to foods. you may also find intermittent fasting is useful for you both in losing weight and blood sugar control and info on this form Dr Jason Fung is also available on dietdoctor.com website.
