Message: <blockquote data-quote="HSSS" data-source="post: 2304620" data-attributes="member: 480869">The way slim type 2 (sometimes called tofi: thin on the outside fat on the inside, meaning around the visceral organs) manage that is to increase fats and proteins to maintain weight rather than carbohydrates.  Importantly it is all carbs not just the white ones. So brown bread, rice and pasta, porridge too, will all be taking their toll almost as much as the white ones. A point often not realised and lots of promotions of these as healthier miss the fact they have just as many carbs albeit slightly slower absorbed. Ultimately if even proper low carb doesn’t control type 2 and there’s no weight to be lost then it might be worth getting checked for slow onset type 1 which some doctors barely consider, but you’ve a way to go before jumping into that by the sounds of it.</blockquote>
