[QUOTE="shelley262, post: 1876972, member: 455169"] I’m now a total convert to lCHF. When first diagnosed in May 2015 I was totally on board with the lower the fat and replace with carbs and move more message that I read about everywhere as the solution to my woes even though somehow I’d got to a hbaca1 of 97 by eating like that I just thought I needed to try harder. I must be going wrong? Result of tightening up my act with hardly any food( think I became lowercarb too by default as eating so little) and massive increase in exercise was a loss of two stone and reduction in hbaca1 by September 2015 to much congratulations all round from DN so I carried on eating little, feeling hungry the whole time and spending more and more time on the exercise bike but within next 18 months I’d put one of the lost stones back on and my hbaca1 was climbing again it was also clear that the DN thought I was fooling myself and cheating - she commented that I was in denial!believe you me I’d accepted it and was trying so hard. I was getting very low about it and just saw it as a progressive illness that would get worse no matter what I did. In desperation in September 2017 I started searching round for answers and came across the low carb programme and things started to make sense. I’ve never looked back since and what a turn around. I rarely feel hungry, I only do moderate exercise but I’ve lost a further four and a half stones, brought my hbaca1 down to 30 - am off all my medications, diabetic and high blood pressure, and it’s the answer for me. I would have thought the way I’m now eating was decidedly odd when I was a low fat dieter but now I’m a total convert and would never go back to my old way of eating. [/QUOTE]
