[QUOTE="as34bc, post: 1848250, member: 389438"] I was an unhealthy vegetarian when I was first diagnosed with T2. My HBA1C was 94. I took Metformin for 2 weeks and then stopped to go an a WHOLE food Plant based (WFPB) diet. I lost a lot of weight and my HBA1C dropped to 43 about 7 months later and down to 37 after another 6 months. I do not do low carb or low fat, but just stick to 100% vegan, of which about 95% of my meals are whole food plant based. The diet is restrictive in the sense that you have to cook most of your meals so eating out is quite difficult. Otherwise I do not miss dairy products or eggs. There are a lot of WFPB recipes online and on YouTube which helped make the transition to WFPB. I am now much healthier and a lot more energetic so I have decided to stick to this diet. As a vegetarian I would have found LCHF very difficult to follow. [/QUOTE]
