Type 2
Hi
Recently i was diagnosed with type 2 diabetics, like several members of my family. I am on mediction, My doctor told me to increase exercise and lose weight, i was around 3 stone overweight.I looked around for a way to lose weight, and luckily i have succeded and lost weight, around 18 pounds to date since October, and have cut down the tablets, and i feel great. its Wonderful to wear smaller jeans and tops, I have been following a healthy, lower carb routine, using the book Carbs & Cals A Visual Guide to Carbohydrate Counting & Calorie Counting for People with Diabetes, (amazon, B009XMS3MS,) which is approved by the British Diabetic Association. one of the writers of the book Chris Cheyette is a Diabetes Specialist Dietitian with the NHS, working with people with Type 1, Type 2 and gestational diabetes. Not only does this book assist with carbs, it also helps with calories and fat counting, i have found it marvelous. I eat well, and am not hungry. So, if you want to lose weight give it a try, I thought I would pass the word. If you are anything like me and tried all types of diets with no luck, this one works.(amazon, B009XMS3MS,)
 
Hi SharonF, welcome to the forum 🙂 Carbs & Cals is a great book used by many of our members, I'm pleased to see that you have found such great success - well done! 🙂
 
Is that book available on kindle or one as good on there ? Have looked, loads on there but can not find that one ?

No, there's no Kindle version of that one Pete, unfortunately. Perhaps there's one in the pipeline?

I've emailed my contact at Carbs and Cals to see if there are any plans for a Kindle version 🙂
 
Ok Alan thank you.

They won't be producing a Kindle version as the book has a lot of high quality graphic content, but I have asked about Kindle HD/HDX and they are going to investigate the possiblity. Can't imagine it will happen any time soon though!
