[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 772956, member: 94045"] Hello and welcome from me, He has done well to drop 2 sizes since January. That is a great achievement. Yes, low carb is the way to go, with enough extra fats to keep the hunger at bay. Many of the hidden carbs that you mention are in low fat products, which is why it is usually better to go for the real thing (and better for you, too). When looking at food labels, look for the total carb content, not the "of which sugars". Has he got his own blood glucose meter? If not, I suggest strongly that he gets one. With this he can learn which foods his pancreas can deal with, and which it can't. We are all different in which carbs we can cope with, and how many. A meter will tell him what he can manage by testing before and after eating, and looking at the rise after that food. If you need more information about this, just ask, but a meter will be your best friend for a long time. [/QUOTE]
