[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 1684339, member: 256617"] The traditional way would be calories out needs to more than calories in and go and do some more exercise...yawn. My daughter who is the same age as you lost 8 kg by eating the same / similar way I do as a Type 2 (albeit with some extras sometimes). In order to lose weight long term your head has to be right first. This is important so that when you need to decide at moments of temptation, your reasons for loosing weight are stronger than the temptation. I would suggest you start with educating yourself on carbs and sugar fully, so that you know for example a typical can of fizzy drink is around 8 cubes of sugar, or cereal is around 70 grams (17.5 sugar cubes) of carbs per 100. By knowing that you have to cover this amount with insulin, your choices may change, as too much circulating insulin stalls weight loss. I feel you really need to get a plan with your health care team, as although you have done a great thing in reaching out to the community, at your age you should be personally attended to; loosing weight for you might just need accurate insulin deployment. I am assuming you have taken the DAFNE course, if so you can ask for the Xpert one. [/QUOTE]
