[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 507907, member: 21149"] Hi. Others who have posted on the forum have sometimes found control difficult post pregnancy for the range of reasons you suggest. Hopefully time will resolve some of that. Yes, if overweight you do need to persevere with getting it down. Low-carbing is essential but 50gm/day is already very low so I wouldn't go lower. I'm afraid I don't agree with going high-fat as I don't see what the benefits are supposed to be, but you do need to have enough fat to provide the calories you need bearing in mind the low carbs. Most dieticians recommend a daily intake of calories that is too high (so that's why we're all obese?), so choose a sensible level. If you can gradually get the weight down you should remove any insulin resistance, reduce your insulin and reduce sugar swings; well that's the theory anyway! Good luck. [/QUOTE]
