I cut  junk carbs (cookies, crisps, chocolates, cake), I only eat 3 meals a day since then and as a result  I went down  to 1200-1300cal a day (probably from 1600cal a day). I also started walking 12k steps a day. I think that triggered weight loss.  I looked at newcastle diet and decided it is not for me.I lost a bit of my small belly, I think I'm losing some fat. I'm also afraid I'm losing muscle. That is the reason for DEXA scan, to get a baseline. I'm planning to perform strength training in coming months to improve muscle glucose uptake (I hope). Regarding carbs, I record everything I eat since I began to notice high glucose, and I came down from 250g per day of carbs in Jan to 150g per day as of today.  yesterday was 100g total, daybefore 160g whole day.I listed things that I may never test in the non-tested column, except some fruits and protein powder.</blockquote>
