[QUOTE="Deleted member 543160, post: 2481817"] For me definitely reduced carbs. I work on the basis of enough protein for body repair & maintenance, and a balancing act with carbs and fats for fuel/energy with a bias towards less carbs. I only ever counted calories many years ago on a 2 week [B]very[/B] low calorie diet (600/900 calories alternate days). it was a complete hunger nightmare and though I lost weight, it came back with a vengeance after the diet ended.[B] [/B]In no way would this calorie level have been at all sustainable IMO.[B] [/B] In contrast, when I was diagnosed with T2 at the end of November 2013 I started cutting right down on carbs, and reduced both my glucose levels and my weight quickly and without any issues - hunger or otherwise. I've kept my glucose at low pre-diabetic levels and my weight stable with my LCHF/ketogenic style of eating for 8 years now. Which suits [I]me[/I] fine, and I see no reason not to continue indefinitely. [/QUOTE]
