[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1742884, member: 245335"] Hi, and welcome to the forum. The simple answer is no. When you burn fat, it doesn't necessarily leave the body the same way as the waste from what we eat, although a small % might. My understanding and it seems to make sense is that burning fat is a chemical process and therefore we actually breath it out much like car exhausts, the result of burning a fuel. As mentioned in the previous post, keeping an eye on carbs is an excellent idea, the guidelines given by the NHS are intended as a one size fits all, overlooking the fact that we are all different. I know that I should never have followed the advice I was given in 1997 when first diagnosed, my diabetes just got worse. Well done on the weight loss, quite an achievement, so long as you keep doing what you're doing, you should be fine. Eating more than one should or could will lead to weight gain, but you have to continue eating more than you should or could to maintain that excess weight. [/QUOTE]
