[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2204119, member: 506169"] Does it matter if it is Low Carb or Weight Loss including Low Carb that puts T2D into remission? Low Carb 'Way Of eating' provided that the metabolic rate isn't reduced by cutting Calories, generally produces weight loss even in those who are apparently slim. As a TOFI when diagnosed I researched alternative 'ways of eating' including 'Crash Diets', High Carb Low fat, Fasting and Low Carb. I decided to try the easiest first - which for me was/is Low Carb High(er) Fat. This was an easy decision since I (wrongly) thought that I didn't need to lose any weight. However that was fortunate since it meant I added extra Calories from Fats and Protein to replace those lost by cutting down on Carbs. So I didn't go hungry, yet I still lost weigh at a pace of between 1lb to 2lbs per week. It was only later that I discovered the reason for my weight loss - lower Insulin over longer periods. Yet doctors don't seem to accept this as being simple and obvious. - You can't easily lose weight if you are eating carbs in sufficient quantity and frequency that your Insulin is raised at all times except when you are asleep! It infuriates me that doctors ad dieticians take a 'Way of eating' which works for lowering excess weight and keeping that weight (LCHF) and then modify it by cutting Calories or other tweaking - making it unsustainable.
