Habitual

Hi All
I've been on low carb diet now for several months. I've lost some weight and reduced my HbA1C from 63 to 46. However my weight loss stalled so I wanted to get the weight shifted ASAP. I've just subscribed to Habitual as it's an 800 diet targeted at diabetics and reversing type 2. On low carb my fasting blood sugar got down to 4.6 - 5.7.

I've been on Habitual since Monday and my fasting blood sugar has been 7.5 and 7.8. Looking closely at the ingredients most of the food has glucose syrup in it including the soups and the one has caramelised sugar syrup. I challenged the company today and they advised they have to keep the carbs up to a certain level. I can't see any reason why they can't use other diabetic friendly carbs like sweet potatoes especially in the soups. My understanding is pure glucose syrup is bad and its exactly what we are trying to stop from being in our blood.

Am I being unreasonable and is there any good reason to add it?

Thanks all.

Dave

It was working and then just stopped. I lost a stone all in all and i'm now 19.3. Been this for weeks and more importantly my visceral fat has just dropped one point. This was my aim my doing this plan was to drop weight and visceral fat. My son is doing ligherlife, he is not diabetic but has gone from 22 stone down to 18 stone in 3 months and looks incredible. He was my motivation but i've worked to get my HbA1C down my fasting sugar over the last few days has freaked me out. The plan has also kicked me out of ketosis so I'm hungry. On low carb I was eating eggs, lean meat, fish, broccoli, cheese in moderation, cream in moderation, berries in moderation, full fat yogurt, cucumber, tomatoes, spinach. Appreciate your help and views.

Cheers Dave
