Hi, I'm a newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetic. I'm trying to put this into remission through diet and exercise and am not yet taking Metformin that I have been prescribed. I'm following Dr. Michael Moseleys 8 week Blood Sugar diet, and am being pretty strict with it. This limits my calorie intake to less than 800 calories per day, but eating normal healthy food with no or very little carbs. When I started on the diet I lost 3 or 4 lbs fairly rapidly, but my weight loss seems to have stopped now and I'm just maintaining a constant weight, which is a bit demoralising. I signed up with a personal trainer at the gym and he said I'm not eating enough to lose weight, which seems counter intuitive. Anyone have any nuggets of wisdom for me other than just sticking to it.
Maybe I'm not drinking enough water or getting enough sleep?
