I found out I was diabetic and had damage to my eyes. So I switched to a diabetic diet overnight and lost 12kg in a couple months. Kept it off too, gained a little back over Christmas (because Christmas is all about the food for me) but lost it by end of January again.
No sugar unless it's fruit, very controlled carbs portions and all wholemeal/ brown varieties. Some days no carbs only vegetables. I've not eaten potatoes since October. Snacks are nuts or fruit, deserts are yogurt and fruit with some dark chocolate every now and then to help with the sugar cravings. It's not easy but I really want to keep my feet and eyes.
That's awesome work! Thank you for sharing. I hope you keep your feet and eyes too!
After your big lifestyle change how is your diabetes?
Thank you. It was difficult to start with but I got my head around it. My sugars are still disappointingly uncontrolled. I'm working with my doctors to increase my meds and get my sugars into a decent range.
