[QUOTE="Patch, post: 99464, member: 13526"] Hi - I'm a Type 2. Have you tried lo-carbing? It sounds (from your post) that you've not tried it (yet). I can PROMISE you - if you try lo-carbing you will not be as hungry as you are when you eat a diet with lots of carbs in it. I used to be a carb FIEND! I could eat carbs all day (sandwiches (always with "healthy(!)" brown Bread), toast, pizza's, pasta, biscuits, etc...) and still be hungry. When I started a lo-carb diet I couldn't believe the difference it made to my appetite. I even went without meals some days (something that I'd never done before - if I'd been told this would happen I wouldn't of believed it). There is this belief that eating a lo-fat, high-carb diet is healthy (for diabetics). This is just not the case - carbs are not filling - they can make you even more hungry (if you are anything like me!). Just a quick note. Before I low carbed, I could EASILY eat a nice steak with mushrooms, peas and chips, and even a side of onion rings, and STILL be ravenously hungry afterwards. Now that I lo-carb, I can eat the same size steak with a side of coleslaw and maybe a fried egg, and feel completely full... Lo-carbing is not for everybody - maybe you really don't like the idea of it at all. just don't dismiss it without trying. I hope it all works out well for you. [/QUOTE]
