Hello
I am wanting to try the low carb high fat diet but I'm stuck for meals.
I've always been a big carb eater therefore take lots of insulin per day. I'm thinking this is hindering my weight loss. I've been doing slimming world for years. I lost way back in 2013 but it was caused mainly by bad diabetes management and lots of keytones. I can't go back there as I know it's dangerous and I'm suffering now with some complications which were probably brought on by those high blood sugars.
So what sort of things do u eat for break fast, lunch and teatime.
I worry because my diabetes nurse has always told me to have some sort of carbs in my diet and if I have none and my blood sugars are perfect then do I just not have any insulin? That's a scary thought.
Also the LCHF diet- is there a calorie amount I should stick tool a day or is there somewhere I can find more information because if I'm honest I haven't found much info.
All help would be appreciated
