[QUOTE="graj0, post: 867117"] Interesting question. I wasn't told I had to give up anything, especially carbs. In fact I was told positively that I should not cut my carbs, so I didn't. I decided to cut the obvious carbs a couple of years ago in an effort to lose weight and it's only since then that I've realised cutting carbs is the best way for me to avoid more and more medication. I was being prepared to go onto insulin, instead cutting carbs enabled me to drop Glicalzide, Januvia and Atorvastatin, because I don't need them. Cholesterol not quite what they would like but if the British Heart Foundation is anything to go by, my total cholesterol is just about right. So I suppose the answer is that I didn't have to give up anything, but I decided to give up bread/pasta/rice/potato. I haven't touched alcohol for 8 years but that was my choice and I never ate biscuits/chocolate/cake anyway. [/QUOTE]
