Thank you for allowing me to join the Diabetes Forum.
I have had Type II Diabetes for a while now. Ten days ago I started the low carb diet and have enjoyed the fact that many of the foods I have always thought to be 'bad' are included in what I can eat. I have ditched my zero fat yoghurt for full fat/low carb (ff/lc) yoghurt and am enjoying the fact that I am able to eat a small amount of cheese. When looking at groceries I am generally choosing those with carbs of 15g per 100g or lower. But, I am looking for your help. The weight is reducing really slowly and it occurs to me that I may not be actually eating enough! My typical breakfast would be either scrambled egg or ff/lc yoghurt and fruit Lunch is usually something like a small piece of cheese and some low carb fruit e.g. melon, nectarine, tangerine, plum and, maybe, a yoghurt. Dinner would be meat or tinned fish of some sort with salad or cauliflower rice. Am I eating enough? Could someone please show me a typical day's food or give me some advice as to what I might be doing wrong. Many thanks for your help.
