[QUOTE="KookieMunchster, post: 2058462, member: 503975"] It is what I started off with and certainly gave me the motivation and hope before I found this forum. I liked the bullet point "rules" of the diet which I found easier to follow, the recipes were not really to my taste. So at the same time as I got into the BS diet, I challenged a friend of mine who doesn't have T2 but is carrying extra weight, to try it along with me. I should add that to give myself an edge I also did IF and I still do IF so in other words I only eat two meals a day. Very occasionally I'll have brunch which just means my eating window shifts from 8hrs to 10hrs, That makes three of us on a BSD ish diet (my partner, my good friend and myself - I'm the only one with T2) We have all lost weight. My partner has lost more weight than I have but as he's such a mathematician, he put it in a chart which interestingly shows that while we may have lost different amounts of weights, we have lost similar overall body weight percentage (more than 15%). I was declared in remission by my first HbA1c Review My experience is a good one but I'd say I didn't follow the book to the letter (my friend with that extra weight did though) I've kept the weight off and I'm still going down I started at 67kgs and by my first review I was down to 55kgs. I also make it a point to try and do those 10k in steps a day and have got a faux bit (things the book also mentions to do) I think if you eat carbs your blood is going to spike whether you are T2 or not. But perhaps it's more how long it takes for your body to cope with the spike and return to better BG levels that is the real test of how well you're doing. I'm still experimenting and learning more about that as I go along now :) [/QUOTE]
