[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1887255, member: 345386"] Hi [USER=486253]@Kiggy[/USER] - With a BMI of 22, there is a little wiggle room before there would be a clinical concern for your weight, although not everyone wants to go very slim, and being slap-bang in the middle of the Healthy range, that's a choice open to you. Looking at what you're eating and drinking, you are consuming quite a bit more carbohydrate that I did after my diagnosis, and to this day. If you blood sugars scores are good with your diet, that's also absolutely fine. Do you self test at all? I have no personal experience of halting weight loss with your level of carbs, but to be honest, if pressed, I would think your best option could be to up your protein a bit, and do nothing more than that for a week or two. If that doesn't stop your losses, then maybe add a bit of cheese, or a bit more cheese, but I would urge you to try not to up the carbs too much because it seems to be the combination of carbs and fat which can lead to weight gain, and sometimes rapidly too. I don't say that last bit to scare you, but just to share my understanding, because nobody wants to get into a bit of a yo-yo phase going between losing and gaining weight. It really is about tweaking, although I didn't actually ask how quickly you are still losing nowadays. If your losses are still fast, that could influence how much you need to up your consumption.
