[QUOTE="DanW13, post: 2351862, member: 531379"] Ok a slight exaggeration in the title, but it does feel a bit like that at the moment. When I was diagnosed with pre diabetes in mid Sept last year I weighed just over 12 stone, having put on circa half a stone over lockdown. Historically I’ve always been thin, nickname was ‘Skeletor’ at school, think I was about 7 and a half stone only at 16, then discovered beer and carbs, and the rest is history. Since then I’ve been on a low carb/healthy fat diet and have dropped almost 2 stone, today 10 stone 4 pounds, BMI of just over 20. Rate of weight loss has reduced, so I was down at 11 stone at end of October, so over last 10 weeks I’ve lost a further 10lb (a pound a week basically). The problem is I’m scratching my head at how I can stop further loss without increasing carbs & thus blood sugar. Suspect I’m around 35-37 Hba1c so good but my time using a Libre have shown it doesn’t take much before it climbs again. I’ve upped my food intake so having omelettes now 3-4 days a week, other cooked breakfasts on 1-2 days. Greek yoghurt, plus berries in addition for breakfast. So think breakfast is okay. Probably lunch is the trickiest one, have things like tinned fish/salad plus a further Greek yoghurt/berries. Any ideas on how I can up the calories further? I’m snacking on nuts during the day, plus have a small bit of 85-90% dark chocolate each day. Really don’t know what else I can do food wise! My problem could be exercise, I do a lot, run 6k 3-4 times a week, exercise bike for half an hour 2-3 times a week. Perhaps I need to reduce this a bit but then will have hit my blood sugar levels adversely? Any ideas/thoughts? There must be other skinnies out there with the same problem! Will the weight drop eventually stop???? What will I look like at that point though! [/QUOTE]
