Hi, I’m confused about what is a low carb diet. The screenshot about dietary levels is from NHS website and the other is from here. NHS recommend no more than 260g carbs a day but the list from here suggests that anything over 170 is a high carb diet. Is that high carb for T2 diabetics?
I was advised to aim for around 140g but can see other people on here have next to no carbs in their diet. I don’t think I could manage with that low a carb level and my mental health really suffered last time I was diagnosed but I ultimately did go on to reverse my T2 but due to lots of factors here I am again and I’m worried about pushing myself too much.
Would appreciate some advice without judgement
