Message: <blockquote data-quote="ianf0ster" data-source="post: 2459581" data-attributes="member: 506169">As somebody who has T2 but has always been slim, I can understand why people think that it's all about losing weight. But what they fail to see is that for 10% of type 2 diabetics (the slim ones) it 's about losing visceral fat (and it is probably also true for the other 90% too). The best way to lose that is by becoming 'fat adapted' meaning able to switch between burning carbs for energy and burning fat for energy. reducing the carbs eaten (as happens as a by product in a low calorie diet) without reducing calories gets you fat adapted without hunger and without lowering your resting Metabolic Rate.Perhaps it's just too easy for people to think it possible, despite the studies by Dr David Unwin, Freshwell and Virta.</blockquote>
