[QUOTE="RosieMaxwell, post: 2311979, member: 520572"] I felt this in my bones! Was exactly where you are now just around 7 months ago. Don’t despair! This first step you’re taking is in many ways the hardest part. I think low carb - then Keto - saved my life. Within 2 weeks I was feeling better and in control. I also started doing IF but that came a little later. The thing that helped me the most was doing grocery shops (online is easier because you can read nutrition info without anyone fussing around you) and just putting everything that worked and I liked the look of into my basket. Then I viewed my trolley and tried to adjust quantities etc. based on what I’d need for each meal and every snack for the next 7 days. It was haphazard and mostly in my head but it really worked because essentially I just didn’t buy anything that WOULDN’T work with my diet. I initially worked to a 50g carb target then after about two weeks doing it and realising it wasn’t hard I made it 20g. Have been doing this now since Feb. Have lost around 43kg and my A1c has dropped down to normal levels. [/QUOTE]
