[QUOTE="SWUSA_, post: 1357210, member: 337910"] Good rant! You fit right in here. I think eat less is usually sustainable and necessary for me. I actually enjoy feeling better. The intense hunger pains went away for me in about 3 weeks but I did not cut back as far as you have.I eat an average of 1450 calories and 80 to 120 carbs per day currently. I made changes in stages and can say that moving my last meal of the day to 4:30 to 5 pm and not snacking after (unless my blood sugar is low) alone brought my fasting glucose number down 50 mg/dl (or almost 2.7 mmol). Walking 10 to 20 minutes after a carbohydrate containing meal will bring the spike down much faster for me. I occasionally have a 'cheat' day which improves my morale and I seem to lose a little more afterwards. I do not drink any alcohol and have not missed it-but I have heard that if you do drink a glass of wine a day is good for your heart. I refuse statins for a cholesterol level that would be normal if I did not have Diabetes. I think you are making good changes for your health but only you can decide if you want to keep them. I think after you finish losing the weight you want to lose that you will naturally be a little less severe with yourself-the danger is that in losing it so quickly with such a severe diet you run the risk of setting up a yo-yo effect where you rapidly lose then regain even more weight as your body goes into starvation mode. I would advise a more moderate approach to losing weight once you feel able to.The restriction to last meal at 4:30 or 5pm is a sensible one to keep if it fits your life. Walking is never a bad choice if you are healthy enough to do it.
