Fat lady seeking downsize!
 

Hi all. I am fed up with being fat!!!! I just want to get rid of all this extra baggage. I am diabetic (insulin dependant ) so there are significant health risks in being so overweight too.
I am not sure how to go about this. I tried Atkins and had great results but then developed insulin resistance which doesn't work well with Atkins.
Any ideas? All help gratefully received.
Looking forward to getting to know you all! :)

Hi ...

Welcome :) .... Sorry I can't help with any advice on diet for diabetes ...

Take care .... Good luck with your goals ...

WELCOME...Calorie counting has worked for me. There is a Diabetic Support section here. I'm sure they'll have great advice :)

Ideas? go vegan. no packaged foods. Nothing you could not make in your own kitchen. calories counting too. Sugar is my devil monkey.

Lea,

Come on over and hang out in the Diabetes support January chat. There are some great people there and we are all dealing with diabetes while trying to lose weight. We would love to have you.
