[QUOTE="andrew_333, post: 307207, member: 44092"] I was reassured to find this thread and find out it's not just me that's a bit concerned about weight loss. I've been low carbing for about four months and have been losing weight steadily. I didn't have that much to spare at the start. I have always been slim (downright skinny when I was younger!), but in the last few years I have put on a few kilos, and like most naturally slim people it went straight round my waist so I had a bit of a belly. The belly has almost gone and I'm getting a bit bony, but I am still losing weight. I can see why people recommend a low carb diet for weight loss because it's certainly very effective. Others, though, can re-introduce carbs when they've achieved their ideal weight - we can't. I'm trying to eat more fat but I find it kills my appetite, so I'm eating less and less. I'm also just about to start on metformin which might kill my appetite even more. I've only just been formally diagnosed through the GTT, but my low carbing means my HbA1c is 5.4 (36) and I don't want to risk increasing it by going back on more carbs. A vicious circle :( [/QUOTE]
