The thing that helped me most was my meter. (Or rather, at the time, our cat's meter, as he was an insulin dependant T3c. I got my own fast after that though.). I could see the impact I was having just with a change in diet. It was very, very motivational and empowering, to see the difference *I* could make. It also pointed out some of my mistakes, but on the whole.... It was a good way to keep on the straight and narrow. I also looked for things I could still eat which I thoroughly enjoyed, like extra dark chocolate. Forget the complicated, convoluted meals with crazy ingredients and just keep it simple. Bacon and eggs, a salad, just make sure you enjoy whatever's on your plate. There's absolutely no reason you have to eat stuff that tastes like cardboard.Hi all,
After a long time in denial and some scary bg readings (18.2) I found this site and have spent the last week researching keto and low carb eating. I've weighed up the evidence and decided that for the sake of my Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, obesity and non alcoholic fatty liver disease, it's well worth making the change now. In fact, I'm long overdue.
I've had such an unhealthy diet for so long, so many refined carbs, so much junk. I didn't listen to my body or the doctors when I was diagnosed, but I'm hoping I'm not too late to mitigate things.
What was the thing that helped you guys the most at the start? Even though I just started today I could use some words of wisdom for when the inevitable toast and cake cravings set in.
Thanks for "listening!"
