[QUOTE="Redshank, post: 2351920, member: 325494"] When I was diagnosed with Pre Diabetes, I was not overweight at all. When I switched to Low Carb I also lost weight that I didn't need to lose. I kept a detailed food diary which as well as carbs intake, also included calorie intake (Most people on this site will say ignore calories, but generally these are people who wish to lose weight). I found that I wasn't eating enough even though I was eating until full. I found that I need to eat around 2500 calories a day (of the type of food I eat) to keep a stable weight. If I go down to 2000I lose weight, if I go up to 3000 I put on weight.(and I don't do the amount of exercise that you do!) I have now had a stable weight for more than 3 years (plus or minus one pound, measured every Monday morning)). I now know what I can eat and don't need to count carbs or calories because I have developed a way of eating. I suggest you actually weigh and measure your food intake in detail for a week and see what it tells you. As an example, I have a regular breakfast of Greek Yogurt with a few berries, but quite a lot of chopped nuts (the lower carb varieties). This ups the calories quite considerable. Greek Yogurt with berries without nuts will only be about 150 to 200 calories. A plain 3 egg omlette will only be about 250 calories. Tinned fish with sald will likely be low calorie as well. Olive oil will add calories to your salad. Cheese is higher calorie. Avocados are higher calorie. So my main recommendation is a detailed food diary for a week to see how many calories you are actually taking in. Mine was much lower than I expected. [/QUOTE]
