[QUOTE="carandol, post: 333693, member: 51220"] I'm T2 too, or I was until a few weeks ago, anyway! And I thought the low-carb diet would come up. :) My dietitian is of the opinion that low carb diets are good if you're overweight, or have trouble keeping your weight down, but in my case it would be a bad idea. I'm a vegetarian, and don't have any trouble controlling my weight. Her reasoning is that your body needs glucose to function. If you cut out carbs, your body will start burning fats instead, and if you're not overweight, you'll quickly run out of fats and start burning muscle. I'm prepared to be convinced that the science doesn't work like that, but since I only need to lose a stone and I'll be underweight, I don't want to experiment on myself *too* much! :) [/QUOTE]
