Message: <blockquote data-quote="Canadian_cousin" data-source="post: 1443556" data-attributes="member: 281698">Dear Ickihun, I know you are struggling right now, but I urge you to persevere. I also urge you to read the Obesity Code by Jason Fung.  It's the clearest explanation I have found of how to approach low-carb, intermittent fasting, and emptying out your fatty liver, which is the ultimate goal! And it is a very viable alternative to bariatric surgery.I don't know much about your situation , but this is the anniversary of my one year on this site, and I have radically changed my blood work, lost weight, and improved  physical well-being , reduced inflammation,and improved mobility. I still have quite a way to go, but I am now back to pre-diabetic levels,  have cut my statins in half because of greatly improved  blood results, and  eliminated   Januvia. It's slow, but low-carb really can radically change your body metabolism.I am taking a new drug, Forxigia, which brings down my glucose levels by about two points, by eliminating glucose through the kidneys.  Working well for me.For me the most important thing about low-carb is that I have made it a lifestyle ,  about 50 to 70 carbs a day, with occasional, but not too many cheats. I have never tried to be ketogenic, as I feel that limits my food choices too much for me. I also have issues about dieting and deprivation stemming from close to half a century of low-fat dieting and semistarvation.perhaps I lost weight more slowly, but my body seemed to transition better that way than radical weight loss.I find intermittent fasting much easier than dieting. If you have had enough fat to eat, as Bulkbuilder always says , especially the night before, you don't get hungry when skipping breakfast and or lunch. And start pushing yourself to read a few topics on this site every day, and follow the suggestions of leads they make.  It takes a lot of work to get your facts straight. The Internet is a bog of blog, and a lot of it's bogus. This is the strongest site I have found anywhere to support diabetic Weight loss.People like Bruhneria -sorry to spell it wrong, but I'm blanking! – are a treasure of information.  And Kevins fasting blogs last year gave me wonderful inspiration! I'm sure they are still on site somewhere,  under the fasting subcategory. As Dr. Fung points out so clearly, fasting is the alternative to bariatric surgery and if you move in slowly it's not that hard. Fight the good fight!</blockquote>
