[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1469221, member: 240838"] I am not familiar with T3 to comment AT ALL but as far as wright gain/ loss I have to be very strict with my carbs. I eat 20 or less a DAY or I gain. I follow a vlc moderate protein and higher healthy fat but not tons, more average. Most of my fat comes from an avocado a day ( the bigger the better) about an ounce of nuts throughout the day as snacks, mayo on egg/ chicken/ turkey salad and whatever fat comes on my protein but I do try to buy leaner cuts. And a little olive oil when I have salads. I rarely eat dairy and keep saturated fat low as well. All grains and dairy make me gain. Again, this is only about wright loss for me. Please keep in mind when I did lower carbs my insulin needs lowered greatly. I ate this way for 20 years before diabetes. At DX they told me to eat 20 c per meal and I gained my much needed 20 pounds back but bs was all over the place so I lowered my carbs and hypod until I found my insulin dose. Bs is perfect and weight stable. Talk to your care team before making any drastic diet changes. [/QUOTE]
