[QUOTE="Wurst, post: 1462805, member: 44101"] I've lost 6 kilos in the past 3 weeks. I'm trying to get back to my ideal running weight for a race in September. I have gone back to a strict low carb diet < 30 grams per day and attempting to be in a calorie deficit of at least 1000 calories per day. I exercise a lot so that helps with the calorie deficit. More than achievable if you're a T1, only thing to watch out for is your insulin dosages. I've had to reduce basal dosages as the weight decreases and it's been a trial and error process. I was taking 28 units of basal overnight but that's now reduced to 19 units and likely to drop further until I hit my ideal weight. [/QUOTE]
