I have now had T2 for a year...initially lost 13kg in 6 months. Since then i have controlled my BS levels..but have hit a brick wall of china with the weight loss. Got weighed today at my DN appointment and i have put on 5kg!!!!
Need ideas and motivation to lose the weight! My BP and cholest readings are normal.
Please help!! I love food toooooo much!
 
well i am in the middle of it counting calories on an APP in my Iphone "lifesum" which helps me a lot...yet I havent hit a wall..

what helps me I think is to fast from 19 o´clock untill next day 12 o´clock ... those hours without foods at all do get the ground insuline down and lessens the insuline resistens.. and then only 1000 calories a day. except when training f.x. if I train 500 calories then I eat maybe 400 more that day like 1400 calories, but only when I have done the Work first.

here is a new suggestion I just fell over where a Flex of carb levels from day to day seems to help weightloss.

I've just had a look at your link, Freema, and I get the impression that this article is aimed at non-diabetics. Although I appreciate diabetics are mentioned, it seemed to be in relation to blood sugars rising both in diabetics and non-diabetics, suggesting spikes are 'normal' and 'acceptable'

I don't feel this article takes Insulin Resistance into account either, to be honest.

The remainder of the article appears to be about general fitness and building/maintaining muscle. In my opinion, it's not appropriate recommending it as a way forward for diabetics, unless they have good knowledge about how carbs are tolerated by the individudal.

My belief is that, if wanting to lose weight, then one must eat less carbs. Increasing exercise, if able, is also beneficial. Obviously, there is more to this but, is a general theory of mine.
 

I believe she herself is a diabetic though maybe type 1, I Loose plenty of weight on 1000 calories 1/3 of them from carbs...

if you train very much I think those days when training you can actually eat more carbs than days in a sedentary lifestyle...

but of causee when very obese in the beginning of loosing weight there is a limit to how much excercise one can do , and there the insuline resistense is much worse...

I was actually 249 Pounds when starting to Loose weight,(now 202pounds) and has all that time been on 1/3 of my foods from carbs some days less and more proteins a few days more... my main focus has been the amount of calories under 1000 when not training and maybe 400 more calories when training more than 400 calories that day.

at the time of your training you use the carbs more easy than the other 2 kinds: proteins and fats
