[QUOTE="catinahat, post: 2596248, member: 155453"] Weight loss for most of us is a welcome side effect of eating low carb, initially I understand it can be due to the fact that carbs hold on to water. If you would rather not loose any more weight, you need to increase the other macronutrients to compensate for the reduced carbs. How much you need to increase your protein and fat by is anyone's guess, you will just have to experiment. Your HbA1c is merely a reflection of how well you are coping with the carbs in your diet, less carbs = lower HbA1c When we change our diets it can often cause our stomach's to complain and quite often because of the carbs & water thingy, dehydration and lack of electrolytes can cause problems. But if you are concerned about your stomach pain a trip to the Dr might be wise. [/QUOTE]
