Carbs & Cal - Very low calorie - recipe and meal plans

[Jodee]

Can any one advise on this book please?

My brother who has recently been diagnosed type 2 says he is not eating because he has put on too much weight. I have explained he can eat just reduce the carbs and that it is important to eat at regular meal times.

I was wondering if this book could be something he may read and take note, of things he may like to eat without too much carbs and at the same time filling. He has always been a heavy carbs person.

Grateful for any input.

When I was first diagnosed T2, I came across this book. An absolute godsend for me. I still use it.

Now seeing all those medications you are taking you need to be careful that you are having enough carbs. Have you been advised what carbs you need to have for the insulin dose you are taking.
At least with the aid of the book you can get a good idea of the carbs you are having.

Not as much in it. I think the full size one is better.

I tried numerous times to go low calorie after being high carb - it proved almost impossible as I collapsed several times.
Going low calorie from low carb and being in ketosis at the switchover is really easy and I have not been hungry, tense, pale or even tired.
