Hello there,
Last week I decided to go for it and try Weight Watchers to lose a little bit of weight. I'm struggling a little bit because a lot of the "free" foods that I can theoretically have in abundance are not low carb options that, as a diabetic, I cannot eat in abundance. Some examples of this are beans (all kinds), lentils, mangoes, peaches (well, all fruits and vegetables), fruit cocktail (!), etc.
I do know that I can have any and all of these things. But there's a clash between weight watchers suggesting these foods and that I can eat all I want until I feel full and knowing that I have to eat very exact amounts of these foods with corresponding insulin injections.
So I'm here to ask if anyone has done Weight Watchers with success and how you managed that along with glucose and carb and insulin management.
Thanks guys!
