Hi, I was diagnosed a week ago bought a BG monitor on day 2, 8.1 and 9 were before and after lunch when monitor arrived since then got morning readings 5.7, 5.7, 5.7, 5.2 hope I can keep this going down.
Have lost 6lbs in weight this week, still many to go.
I went from crazy carbs to very low carbs and very little food. (except satuday with mixed grill at beefeater but swapped chips for salad.)
I had a habit of missing 1 or 2 meals a day so thought I could try and take advantage of that habit to loose weight faster.
"Not eating" is a thing that I don't normally talk about - always been a taboo subject for some strange reason
I have been reading lots on here and elsewhere and learning much.
I have come across a Dr Fung and find what he says very interesting and good at explaining how the body works, storing fat, using it etc. and fasting.
For me I like to understand and it all 'clicks' for me - wont completely make it easy but easier
Here is a long (1.5 hours) interview with him where he explains a lot of stuff and I wont try and explain it all in a few words but he does talk about why 'most' diets fail and we revert back over time. Bodies are complex so I believe that the more we understand the better we can try and deal with loosing weight as there is not quite a single fix for all.
Hope you watch it and hope you find it as insightful as I did.
I am sure I will rewatch it a few times to catch anything I missed.
