[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2222337, member: 506169"] Hi Mutineer, Diabetes remission from HbA1C of over 100 has been done fairly quickly by several members of these forums. Some people try the crash diet , drastic Calorie cutting route (Prof Roy Taylor DIRECT study/Newcastle diet or the real food version of it - 800 Cal Blood Sugar Diet by Michael Mosely). But most do it the more sustainable way which is probably easier for most Low Carb High(er) Fat 'Way of Eating(' which means it isn't required to go hungry or consciously restrict Calories. Eat real traditional food ditch carbohydrates, that means Sugars, Fruits (except for berries), fruit Juice, Starches, flour, potato (even sweet potato), rice, bread , pastry and even whole grains and root veg. Don't fear fat: fatty fish, fatty meat (even Bacon), eggs, cheese, double cream (rather than milk), Full fat plain Greek Yogurt, avocados, olives and most nuts are good. So are above ground and leafy vegetables - especially Cauliflower and Broccoli both of which can be used as rice substitutes. Get a Blood Glucose monitor and test your reaction to other possibly suspect foods- different people react differently to different foods.The Spirit TEE2 from Spirit health is the one I use, it is cheap one with cheap test strips (around £8) for a pot of 50. Strips are the main cost, since you will need to test before and the after every meal (2hrs after first bite) at first until you know how your body reacts to that food at that time of day. Start by aiming for an after meal reading to be no more than 2.0 mmol higher than the before meal reading. Later try to keep the highest daily reading down below 8.0 mmol, or 7.8mmol if being cautious. Eat a full meal so that you don't need to snack. 1, 2 or 3 meals per day are good - don't eat if not hungry(e.g. just because it is 'breakfast time'. If you can keep your Blood Glucose down then your Insulin levels will also come down which will enable you to 'burn up excess body fat'. I wasn't even overweight, but still had over 20lbs of excess body fat ( a TOFI). In that way you can move towards a healthier body weight and consistency without hunger or reducing your metabolism and the body fat used up will form part of your daily total calorie intake. I lost between 1 to 2lbs per week for the first 2 months. [/QUOTE]
