Diabetes....!!!
Only diagnosed type 2 last week and waiting to see a dietician etc, so all of this is very new to me.

I need to get the ball rolling and I'm looking for a low carb diet to follow as I drastically need to loose weight. I have joined a gym locally and now go three times a week plus walk/run on other days.

Any suggestions for which diet you guys recommend for speedy results. I have strong willpower and a supportive partner :D
 
Hi Eurorider and welcome to the forum :) Here is some basic information for newly diagnosed diabetics which should help you - it includes some recommendations about diets:

I hope you don't mind me posting your diet again, Viv but it is just so good :) To Eurorider: here is a diet written by Viviennem which is very good which you might like to take a look at. This thread contains both the diet and some useful comments:

Ask any questions you want - there is always someone who will help.
 
Thanks Diasy1, I did look at Vivs diet and printed it off to read later.

I 've firstly got to get my head round all this carb counting, net carbs etc, all seems a bit daunting.

Ordered a couple of books of Amazon for light reading before bed :!:
 
You're welcome, Daisy - it's to share around!

You too are welcome, Eurorider - any questions, please ask! This is a great place for the newly diagnosed. I've learned so much in the last couple of months.

Viv :D
