[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2484783, member: 506169"] Hi [USER=521901]@Glyko[/USER] , if you really think that you need to restrict all the way down to 800 calories, then your plan seems OK. However there are alternatives that I personally would prefer : 1. still 800 calories, but do it with real foods as per Dr Michael Moseley (from Trust Me I'm a Doctor). 2. Just cut the carbohydrates and the weight will fall off without the danger of worsening your metabolic rate and hence your ability to keep the weight off. Note This is what I did as a Thin Outside Fat Inside (TOFI) T2 Diabetic. In fact I increased my calories by approx 500 per day on a low carb way of eating and still lost around 2lbs per week (a nice sustainable number).Note that I lost this weight despite trying to lose as little weight as possible! I just ate meals that raised my Blood Glucose by less than 2.0 mmol from just before a meal to 2hrs after first bite. Adding more Protein and Fat to make up for the calories in the carbohydrates I had cut, then adding yet more protein and fat in an attempt not to lose too much weight. Do bear in mind that if you do cut calories, you will still have to fins a long term sustainable way of eating to transition to after the initial 8 or 12 weeks is over. and Low Carb is the obvious choice!- So why not do that from the start? In my case I found that I needed to eat between 20gms and 40gms of carbs (depending on the type of carb) per day in order to keep my Blood Glucose within range. Overall I lost (at peak) 30lbs which was over 17% of my body weight, though I have since deliberately managed to put on an extra 4lbs since then. [/QUOTE]
