[QUOTE="Mollyc1995, post: 2006715, member: 500391"] Hi everyone so I am newly diagnosed t2, my main goal is to of course get my bg to normal range and lose weight, I am currently doing slimming world which is working very well for me, In 4 weeks I have lost 9.5 pounds which I am very pleased with. I know slimming world can be a very high carb diet so I was intrigued to see how many carbs I’m actually eating now so I went on the my fitness pal app and added everything I’ve eaten today. I was quite surprised as I really thought the carbs would have been much higher..: Protein (24%) - 87 grams Fat (44%) - 69g Carbs (32%) - 116g Calories: 1,457 Would you say this is too high in carbs?, I personally wouldn’t say it is as they say a typical western diet consists between 225-335 grans if carbs a day, I know a lot of people in here do Keto and eat very little carb, but also noticed some have a lot more. My carbs were mainly from fresh veg, salad, fruit and I did have wholewheat pasta for dinner, but I weighed it out as a one person serving so I didn’t over eat.....(most of the times I check my bg after whole wheat pasta I don’t get spikes and by 2hrs it never goes past 2 Mmol I also know I used to eat a lot more carbs before being told I may be diabetic as I used to eat big portions of white pasta, now I wouldn’t touch it and will alway portion control. I don’t want to go too low carb as of yet as I really want slimming workd to work and I know this will take a little time to figure out as if course the weight won’t come off overnight.
