[QUOTE="graj0, post: 888523"] Low carb doesn't have to mean eating a protein based diet. I cut out bread/potato/rice/pasta and increased the amount of vegetable in my diet, still eating less than 100gms carb per day. I eat a bit more cheese (300gm per week) than when I followed the low fat idea (when I ate virtually none), 4 eggs rather than 2 per week, I eat yoghurt regularly rather than hardly ever and tend to have more berries and nuts (to go in the yoghurt). It's a personal thing at the end of the day, we are all so different that what suits one doesn't suit another. Being able to avoid progressing onto insulin, chucking out the Gliclazide (I gained 10 kgs when I started taking it), Januvia and Atorvastatin is incentive enough to keep me eating to my meter.
