Check out:I have been diagnosed today as being type 2 diabetic.
I was interested to read your report and was even more surprised to read you did it on a low Carb higher fat diet. Is that similar to the Atkins diet?
I have joined weight watchers but it is not inspiring me as all.
I haven't been counting my carbs mainly because I didn't know how low I should go. I've just kept it to an absolute minimum most days, so glad to hear that 50g is about right ! I'll reassess what I can have.. also I will stat using my husbands fitbit (he doesn't use it)! I've started doing 30-40 mins brisk exercise most days too which seems to help with the weight loss and fitness. Ha ha going on a 16 day cruise on Sunday so will have to be mega strong ... will post how I get on.Viv, well done that man ! you did it your way, and it is so encouraging to know it can be done by your own investigation.
Jillytee I too am trying to do it my own way of exploring the LCHF diet without using fixed recipes or foodplans, I read somewhere on the forum that a low carb diet is around 50g of carbs per day, which is what I now aim for, less than 20g is considered very low carb and brings other concerns into play, so I am happy to do 40 - 60g per day. I got a fitbit which you put all your food intake into, and the end of each day it summarises carbs, protein etc so there is no tedious totting up ! I beleive other diet apps do the same. I am losing weight, not steadily, in jumps and stops which is odd as i am seeing visible waistline changes.
I'm waiting till my next blood test at GP before I put my results on here, as i am not monitoring it and i keep forgetting to take my metformin. While I am losing weight I'm not too concerned.
Great websites, the low carb one is exactly what I've been looking for.... thank you
You're welcome. I'm pretty close to zero carbs now and that works for me. I don't follow the Diet Doctor's low carb diet anymore, although it worked great for me when I did.Great websites, the low carb one is exactly what I've been looking for.... thank you
The carb cravings should go away in a week or so...if you don't cheat.thank you I an now trying a lchf but I am finding I am craving carbs. My son says it just withdrawal symptons.
