[QUOTE="Andydragon, post: 2348581, member: 521079"] Yeah it’s hard when people around you can eat what they want and for some reason keep trying to persuade you to do the same. I get being polite but some people just seem to keep doing a Mrs Doyle (Father Ted) I don’t target as low carb as some but I went for 20:40:40 ratio for carb:protein:fat which currently for my weight is about 91g carb. I do measure and weigh but don’t count the milk in coffee so probably underestimating my carbs somewhat I also do minimum 30 mins exercise on the exercise bike and walk if I can. I also do try to count my calories and keep to 500 below what the calorie calculators think I should have. I know many on here would say not to count calories but I do. I also stopped most fruit, bread, pasta, rice etc... so carbs massively lower than usual. since May I have lost nearly 30kg (my weight is currently not dropping but it is also Christmas and I’ve dropped off the wagon a little) so something of the above is working (plus hba1c now 38 from 78 and dropped all drugs except 2000mg metformin and have dr appointment a week Monday to discuss if that can be dropped) I also do have cheat days, probably once a week to be honest. As for stopping craving. Honestly I still do since May. Perhaps for some of us we never lose the urge, and as I said, I have cheat days but am substantially down as a whole. I personally cannot live my life never having, but it is a struggle and I am aware the cravings are worse when I cheat but as someone else said, I’d rather have my eyesight... hence I am so far managing to restrain good luck!
