Food should be enjoyed and not something that makes you miserable and fed-up.
There's nothing complicated about losing weight, if you burn more calories than you consume then you will begin to lose weight and the best way of losing weight is by doing it slowly over a long period of time - that way you are less likely to put it back on.
Why don't you ask to see a dietitian and discuss your diet with them and see if they can help, good luck.
with keto low carb high fat, I think if the daily food has about 50g of protein, 30g carb and the rest fats oils and you should lose weight, I think the rule is if you aren't losing weight, eat more food fat and reduce carbI have been low carbing for nearly 3 months now..... makes no difference!

@AndBreathe whatever works for you is fine and I don't have any experience to speak of regards to a LCHF diet (having only tried it for a few weeks), but there's no denying that too many calories will lead to weight gain and in order to lose weight you have to burn more calories than you consume, that is why the likes of Slimming World and Weight Watchers work as does Prof Taylor's ND.
I think many would agree Slimming World and Weight Watchers may work for non-diabetics, but for those diabetics (albeit, mainly T2s) not on insulin and therefore not able to inject to cover carbs, their eating plans can be something of a challenge. But then, to be fair, I have no personal experience, so my comments are anecdotal.of either club
it sounds like you body has gone into famine mode, I would eat a lot more and take it to 1500 for a while and cut more carbsMy calorie deficit is set at 900 below tdee and I am often below that target too. Walked 10 miles last weekend, 5 this, nothing.
Oh well, BS levels look good but I really wanted the promised weight loss. 30 years of effort and zero result, kinda sick of food governing my life now.

Hi chr1234, just a quick point,the prog' about fat, did throw up one interesting point, that is if we exercise at max effort for 2 minutes and then rest for one minute then repeat seven times in succession our bodies carry on burning fat at a faster rate for the next twenty four hours. Giving it a go .I have noticed that protein does crank my sugars up. Today is a new day and I am going to record what I am eating and see if that makes things better. Thank you for your help!
I've been having a think and I wonder if it's leptin? I also put it on your page.My calorie deficit is set at 900 below tdee and I am often below that target too. Walked 10 miles last weekend, 5 this, nothing.

Hi,
I have been type one since 2011 diagnosed at 17 years old. In my first year of being diagnosed I gain over a stone and a bit due to having to treat numerous hypos over the honey moon period. Once this had ended I began the dangerous slope of avoiding insulin in attempt to loose weight. I saw a therapist for this and it is no longer an issue, however the issue now is food and weight is becoming an obsession. I did loose over a stone before however I gained this back when I started eating 'normally' aka introducing more carbohydrates. I weigh myself daily, avoid carbs but then sometimes have them because I know my body needs them. Then the next day feel bloated and guilty. I had been following a LCHF diet however even that isn't giving me the results I want. (I am on the contraceptive injection which has caused me to feel more hungry! Will not be continuing with is method) I exercise once if not twice a day yet I am still not where I want to be. I feel I am at a loss and don't see any hope of food not being such a big deal, which I feel at 21 years old is a real shame.
Did/does anyone else feel like this? How can I stop and finally be happy with diet?
Sorry for my little rant/life story!
Many thanks,
Charlotte
it might be time to see a good endo and run some tests, after 30yrs of trying and at 900 cal and no weight loss. I think there is something wrong, even if you have gone into famine mode..About 45 mins in now Jack, I have done everything I can to help myself so short of getting the drug he talks about.......
