[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1872342, member: 355878"] Honestly - those HCPs - they like a laugh don't they? In the book by Dr Atkins which I refer to most often there is a chart which suggests that really active people, with high nutritional needs - athletic males are mentioned as is exercising vigorously and regularly, then they might be able to lose weight on a maximum of 90 gm of carbs a day. I have always found that I could not lose weight no matter how low calorie,as I just collapsed and could hardly move around the house when eating low calories, but on low carb I am full of energy eat well, and still lose weight or size, or change shape - my waist is 10 inches smaller than at the maximum. Veges, salad and the odd piece of fruit [U][B][I]is[/I][/B][/U] the way of eating - it reads as though they are setting you up to fail - which is crazy, I know - but you should hear some of the advice I've had over my lifetime of being disapproved of for my weight and my diet. For a type two like me, who is really lucky not to need meds and can get normal results just from eating LCHF, it is very effective in lowering BG levels, so you'll need to be very careful if you do low carbing seriously - it is a very powerful tool - I was no longer in the diabetic range in 80 days - but I just went for it as I had nothing to lose by eating 50 gm of carbs a day - mind you my metabolism thought that it had stepped off a cliff.... As a type one - I think that you will need to work slowly down to a level which will enable you to stop going so high and also to reevaluate your insulin needs - if you increase protein whilst burning carbs I suspect that you might very well need to include the protein in your insulin needs to some extent, as it can and will be broken down to make glucose if that is what you are using for fuel. Once I was using fats as fuel I was a lot more stable with BG levels, and a huge difference was not being hungry - I eat two meals a day, and not big ones. I eat a maximum of 40 gm of carb a day, most of it in the evening as I am less resistant to insulin then - another thing I had to learn. [/QUOTE]
