[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2138131, member: 506169"] [USER=504723]@garykary[/USER] , Hi, I too suspect that you have tried to do too much at once. Upon diagnosis as Type 2, I was only 2lbs into the 'overweight BMI' category so fortunately that meant I was not tempted to go into low carb, Calorie restriction and increased exercise all at once! Having not suffered from your symptoms I wonder if that is because initially I had no calorie reduction at all (due to eating more fat. Since fat is denser in calories than carbs, this meant I was eating a smaller quantity of food and my stomach started to get used to smaller amounts and so my appetite reduced and the calories I needed to avoid feeling hungry dropped. I don't like exercise (for its own sake) since I don't get any pleasure out of it (no runner's high or endorphin rush. Thus I only do about 35 min brisk walk per day. I was amazed how just going LCHF, yes high fat despite my triple bypass has meant that I have stabilised my Blood Glucose , put me back into the 'pre-diabetic' range and also lost more weight that I thought possible - so I am now 20lbs away from being overweight!
