If and when you get there you won't want to eat "cake" again...Hello everyone
I know that type 2 can be reversed and that some of you have done it. Once you’re there can you eat like other “Normal” people again and have cake etc?
Its the so called 'normal' eating that got me to this sorry pass.Hello everyone

We eat properly.. not the same as "what everyone else eats".... There's a big difference..Hmmm I would say then that type 2 can't be reversed otherwise we would be able to eat like everyone else! I wonder why they say it can be reversed?
I don’t want type 2 but want to eat like my husband does. I miss cake it tastes so good. I’m making him some normal brownies tomorrow because I bake for him every week. It’s difficult for us to eat out and for friends to know how to cater and it’s also difficult for me to invite friends round, unless I cook like I used to and I eat a salad or something. I hate this. I’m not cheating in any way and I do have the will power, but I still hate itWe eat properly.. not the same as "what everyone else eats".... There's a big difference..
Why would you want to return to a way of eating that gave you T2 in the first place?
That’s why I don’t ever describe myself as ‘reversed’. I prefer the term ‘remission’ as it implies a temporary state. I’ll stay in remission so long as I don’t return to what you describe as ‘normal eating’.Hmmm I would say then that type 2 can't be reversed otherwise we would be able to eat like everyone else! I wonder why they say it can be reversed?
Its early days.. you'll get the hang of it and eating out is pretty simple once you know what to do. Most of us find we feel so much better eating low carb so why not get your partner to try it with you? Might be to his benefit as well?I hate this.

Is this why the foods I eat now (raw veggies, meats, salads) taste so delicious to me now? I was diagnosed/started LCHF this past July and it's kind of interesting how quickly I've started to enjoy/crave this kind of food.The reversal is the high blood glucose, and damage done by it.
Humans never evolved to eat cake, the introduction of all the sugars and starches the supermarkets find so profitable are not how our metabolisms learned to work.
He does eat low carb because I cook from diet doctor menus and he does enjoy the food. He eats normal stuff too like cake haha and bran flakes for breakfast and a side portion of potatoes or chipsIts early days.. you'll get the hang of it and eating out is pretty simple once you know what to do.

Thank you. Yes baking has always been a big part if my life and cooking too. My husband eats the same low carb meal as me but sometimes has a side order of potatoes or chipsPersonally I'd find it difficult if I was baking non low carb for my husband every week. Could you ask him to supply his own baking or do it himself or only eat them outside the house or bake less frequently? How about trying some low carb baking? I've tried low carb baking recipes that have been successful with family members who aren't low carb or diabetic. A friend of mine does a lot of it - not so much for herself because she only eats them occasionally but for other family members who aren't diabetic or low carb (she's always baked a lot for family). I've also brought low carb foods (including desserts) to family celebrations so I don't feel deprived (others have also enjoyed them). If baking is a big part of your family life, this might help.
When I started eating low carb, my husband also chose to eat low carb about 80% of the time to get healthier himself (he lost 15 lbs without trying, went from overweight to normal weight without trying.) He does have a few high carb foods in the house (bread, cereal that he occasionally eats) but these items don't bother me. I did ask him to not to bring in the house or eat the following trigger foods in front of me - potato chips, home fries, samosas and Indian sweets because I know how difficult I'd find it being exposed to them often.
I hope some of this helps.
