[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 629777, member: 94045"] I'm a Type 2, not on any meds, so it is different for me as I have to control my blood sugars by diet only. Going low carb has done this for me, and I have also lost a lot of weight. If you go low carb you have to replace some of the lost energy (calories) by increasing either fats or protein, or both, but only by an amount sufficient to keep your calories at the correct level for your circumstances. This is why slimming club diets are not really a good thing for low carbers because they insist on low fats. It's not always a wise choice to go low carb and low fat. You can make yourself ill and will feel very hungry. There are people on this forum that have kept to a low fat diet, but most will say they have increased their fats by eating real dairy foods such as butter, yogurts, cheese, mayo, olive oil etc and ditching the low fat alternatives. It is the fats that keep you satiated and not feeling hungry. I have honestly never felt hungry on my diet of choice (currently 64g carbs daily, moderate fats, moderate protein, no rice, no pasta, some bread, some potatoes) You will find your own way. We are all different. [/QUOTE]
