[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 780696, member: 94045"] Hi, I was diagnosed in January 2014. I have been following a low carb/increased fats diet (currently 50g carbs a day but I reached this low level gradually, bit by bit). I had weight to lose, and I lost it. I lost over 31% of my body weight very easily. When I reached my goal weight I found it a hard slog to stop losing without increasing my carbs. This I did not want to do, so up went my fats. I still kept losing, albeit a bit slower, so I upped my fats again, then again. I am now more or less stable but can't seem to gain what I didn't want to lose. So, if you want to stop losing you have to increase either your carbs, your fats, or your protein. There is no other way of doing it. It is not wise to increase carbs too much, nor protein if you already eat a normal amount, so you are left with fats. My BS are well controlled, my HbA1c's have dropped at each test, my cholesterol is better than it was when I was on statins 12 months ago (I stopped taking them), and my other blood results are excellent.
