[QUOTE="Ryhia, post: 2196036, member: 503862"] Hi [USER=517912]@Lindap118[/USER], looks like you are doing great with the weight loss, is there a particular reason why you are trying low cal/low carb rather than one or the other? EDITED TO ADD: I am asking the question as when I was first diagnosed I decided to go on an 800 cals a day diet and also cut out all sugar, breads, potatoes, pastries and starchy veg so effectively was eating low carb. However I was also exercising which was probably consuming 300 of those calories, after 8 weeks I had muscle loss and had lost all energy then my body went into distress. Doc said it was starvation mode. When I started adding fat to my diet, my health improved. [/QUOTE]
