[QUOTE="Redshank, post: 2100148, member: 325494"] [USER=511242]@Martin D[/USER] Welcome to the forum. I am also pre-diabetic (though bloods in normal range for past 2 years) and I am a very similar height and weight to you. I have never been overweight It looks like you have removed obvious sugars from you diet, but eating wholemeal versions of other carbs (rice, bread etc) will still be introducing large amounts of carbs into your diet. You do a lot of exercise, and use a lot of energy. If you remove items from your diet, but do not replace the energy, you will lose weight. When I started the LCHF way of eating, I lost weight that I didn't want to eat. For a period of time I kept a detailed food diary, weighed what I ate (initially to work out the carbohydrate) but later as I was losing weight, I also calculated calories. I wasn't eating enough (I was eating about 1500 Kcal, and I found out through experiment that I needed about 2500Kcal to keep a stable weight). So ate more foods that were higher in fat while still low carb - nuts (walnut, pecan, brazil, hazel,almond) are all pretty low carb. Avocado, olive oil, cheese, eggs, cream, oily fish (I don't eat meat but this would be good also). I managed to regain weight and then remain stable. I also got a blood glucose meter and tested before and 2 hours after particular meals. I found what foods made my blood sugar go up more than I was comfortable with (and these included wholemeal bread, porridge, brown rice). I recommend getting one and seeing what impact foods have on YOUR bloodsugars (as it can be different for different people). best of luck [/QUOTE]
