Thanks Dillinger, that made my day. I always wondered why my sugars were perfect when i went carb-free, and why i lost weight. Ages since i went carb free but i've been wanting to lose weight, and am desparate to get my sugars sorted (my HbA1c's on 10% at the mo!)... so it sounds like an all round great solution. Always been there, but i just forgot the science behind how it worked.Dillinger wrote: So, the alternative reality that so many of us promote is; forget about all the fat and protein worries you have, eat more of them and less of the carbs and you will need to inject less insulin if you are Type 1 and produce less insulin if you are Type 2. Less insulin means less fat creation and if you are eating a low enough amount of carbs then your body will naturally start to metabolise your fat reserves; hence weight loss.
Here goes lets see how low carb i can go! Cheers :thumbup:
p.s. not too sure how long it will last tho, tried no carbs today to find out if my basal insulin dose was right and felt like a dead duck (probably due to only eating about 2 pieces of cucumber all day tho!)
