[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1685367, member: 355878"] I don't really understand why you'd want to stop eating low carb foods in order to have potatoes bread rice etc - but I have needed to control my weight by avoiding sugars and starches all my adult life. The same diet has normalized my blood glucose and I got a normal range Hba1c level over six months ago, so for me, at least, all those cholesterol lowering starches on the diet sheet - which caused rapid weight gain and I felt so old too - are not a healthy balanced diet but a way to take away my health and vitality very rapidly - turning me into an old woman needing a nap after lunch and to go to bed early. I'd advise having a regular check of Hba1c levels, and to watch for any symptoms, but if you are lucky and do not need medication then a low carb diet should keep you healthy even if you are a type two.
