So while for those who are, weight loss is preferable, for people like you it's a bit hard to find a balance. For people like me, still overweight (though no longer morbidly obese) intermittent fasting and the like is good, you want to keep your weight at a decent level. One thing, you lost weight: that also means your cholesterol goes up for a bit. That was already there, packed in your liver, but as you lose weight it's released into the bloodstream on the way out. So wouldn't worry about it. That'll stabilise when your weight does. Now, to keep your weight up to par, don't do what overweight T2's do: Don't start cutting out meals. Stick with the low carb diet, yes, but eat 3 meals a day and snack 3 times in between. You need a little more fats and protein to keep some meat on your bones than the bulk of us here do.Sounds like you got every test pertaining to T2 and related conditions sorted. Just eat more. Add in some extra eggs, cheese, olives, extra dark chocolate, avocado, whatever.... Eat more, not less, but keep the carbs low.</blockquote>
