Hi all! I'm new to this forum...was recently diagnosed T2 diabetic in early August. I've lost 40 lbs since then but still need about 20 more. A little about me...I was a vegetarian for 15 years and was thin and healthy (blood work, etc. was awesome). About 6 years ago, I started eating meat and other high fat foods, got married, had a baby, and well, put on 60 lbs.
I want to continue with the calories in = calories out approach to losing weight and want to go back to vegetarianism, but if I do so, my carbs will go up. Right now my sugars are great with about 100 grams of carbs daily, but going veg will bump me up to 150-180 grams a day.
i know everyone is different and can tolerate different amounts and types of carbs, but I was just wondering how many daily carbs everyone's taking in. Thanks!
