[QUOTE="NewTD2, post: 1649180, member: 439634"] This sounds very much like what I’ve been through mate. After I was diagnosed last September I was very much afraid to eat anything so I went for approx. 200 calorie diet for about 6 weeks until mid November this year. I was surviving on x2 boiled eggs, two small tomatoes and 2-3 leaves of lettuce and lots of water to survive. I just completely lost my appetite and also didn’t know anymore what to eat! As I was losing weight so rapidly (about 15 kg) in such a short period of time, I developed hyperphagia- “starving mode”, very nauseous, weak and could hardly walk that I had to call for the ambulance many times! Although I’ve now started reintroducing meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner including snacks, I’m still feeling very weak up to this point. I strongly suggest to do “low carb high fat diet” and eat normally, ignore your dietitian - doesn’t have a clue! High fat refers to healthy fats in meat, poultry, fish like salmon and other oily fishes like Mackerel, and from nuts like pecan, walnuts, almonds: also from avocados, butter, full fat cream, cheese, extra virgin olive oil on salads. Use only low glycemic “ above ground” vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, red peppers, mushrooms, celery, spinach, cabbage etc. Avoid potatoes, bread, pasta, rice, white flour, wheat flour, cereals, noodles and starchy vegetables like sweetcorn, peas, carrots, parsnips, peanuts, squash. Also avoid honey, sweeteners except “Stevia” and fruits that are rich in fructose except berries (raspberries, strawberries, blueberries). I was stubborn at first and also very much confused about what food to eat but I was helped by so many good people on this site. Take supplements like Cinnamon 500 mg capsules as it lowers blood sugar levels, also some anti oxidants like Pomegranate extract 400 mg, Alpha Lipoic Acid to prevent nerve damage; COD liver oil for the heart and multivitamins specially Vitamin B12 as this is mainly depleted by Metformin! No more sugary fizzy drinks, avoid alcohol, fruit juices. I only drink plenty of water with sliced lemons! Join the low carb program- [URL]https://www.lowcarbprogram.com/[/URL] Good luck mate!
