This is my first post. I was diagnosed Type 2 in May but saw it coming since April.
Chasing remission through diet and exercise I have seen my weight drop from 14 st 5 lbs to 11 st 8 lbs. I have not followed any extreme diet but stopped eating between my 3 meals a day and now eat smaller portions. I feel very well and take two 3 mile walks daily.
However, I now need the weight loss to stop. Fitbit tells me I am burning about 3,300 calories per day and though that may be an exaggeration I do believe I need to consume perhaps 3000 calories per day to prevent further weight loss. At an NHS diabetes course I attended yesterday the dietician advised limiting carbs to 135g per day which is only 540 calories worth. This is unrealistic if I am to consume 3000 calories across 3 meals per day.
I appreciate that most of us with Type 2 are initially trying to lose weight but would welcome advice from forum members who have got past that phase and are now eating to maintain weight with a very active lifestyle. What proportion of your calories come from carbs, fat and protein? How many calories do you aim for at breakfast lunch and dinner?
Thank you
