[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2041529, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]Hi [USER=504351]@Flak[/USER], and good on you for being at week 6 - wo ho! It isn't easy not eating enough for two months - or at least that is my experience of eating no more than 800 cals a day for eight weeks. Have you got the Blood Sugar Diet book? My understanding is Dr Mosley talks about post BS diet and how to deal with it in that marvellous book? As in - go on to some days where you don't eat the amount you would normally or want to - ie intermittent fasting. And use the meal and food plans you did during the under-eating period, for your times when you continue to under-eat, intermittently as it were. Other people have periods of no-food fasting. Whatever fits into your life, I would say. Some would say 'portion control' every day, as a way to continue to under-eat (which is what these methods are all about really), but as a person who gets hungry rather easily, and a tad, uh, agitated with hunger, I would rather not live the rest of my life being hungry every day - just some days! But everyone is different when it comes to what we can fit into our lives, and what we can tolerate. But does it mean keeping an eye on things like waist size, and how much energy you are consuming for the rest of your life? I would say - yes. And I'm sorry about that. And bottom line, absolutely - continue to low carb (and raising the healthy fat amounts in tandem with how low carb you go - this is really important is my understanding). Also, as you probably realise from this forum , and life generally :) - all type two diabetics are not the same. You might be one of the lucky (well, this is how I see it) 66% of type twos who have mild blood glucose dysregulation, and the BS diet will re-tune your metabolism to back to normal, and 'all' (!!!!) you have to do is not overtax your body with glucose and insulin again to keep it chugging along nicely at normal levels, even as a carbohydrate-intolerant person.

But the nice thing is this forum is full of folks who are living their lives with normal, or even healthy blood glucose levels post diagnosis of T2 diabetes, on a low-carb diet. There is a big chance you will be one of them. (And if not, well, you can always talk to me about that. ;):)/)[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
