[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2422187, member: 365308"] Hi, I think you mention insulin/carbs in the context of your body's own insulin? I assume you got a pre diabetes diagnosis and got into the low carb lifestyle and lost too much weight. Is it possible you are too controlling of your carb intake possibly due to a fear of getting high blood sugars/insulin resistance? I don't know if you had a history of losing emotional issues with food, body image etc. as it is common for a diabetic (usually someone who has been told to eat in a strict way) to develop an eating disorder. I did but I am not saying that this is the right diagnosis for you. I also know someone who has struggled to stop losing weight after having a diabetes diagnosis, doing a lot more exercise then struggling to eat enough fat and protein to gain back lost fat/muscle. My advice to you would be the same if this is that kind of problem that you have i.e. you want to regain weight , that you should see what level of carbohydrates you can tolerate before your blood sugars get into diabetic range. Is there something you miss eating that you can add in again like toast or cereal, without it leading you back down the diabetes track again? Eating the odd slice of bread etc. won't make you diabetic but if the thought of that is scary I think you may have a problem and will need some help to get back to a normal eating pattern and re gain weight. A healthy BMI is 18-25 with normal energy levels so I'd hope that with the right kind of diet and exercise you could get back to that whilst still keeping up our good habits re quality of foods!
