I lost from over 240 to low 160s by limiting carbs per meal to 60. It got to the point where I was concerned about the loss that I was considering posting here how to gain weight. What's your BMI. If It's less than 25, I would be happy.
OK, I have T2 as well. I weighed 250 and began taking oral meds. My A1C was over 10 at the start. I switched from real coke to Coke Zero (my biggest addiction) and went on a high protein/low carb (not NO carb) diet. I lost to 180 and my AIC is 6.1. I did NOT exercise. Should I? Yes. Will I?? Probably not. I no longer take meds and my sugar is good so far. It has been 4 years and my Dr. is happy. I knew I could not do the low carb, high protein forever, but got serious and managed to do it for 9 months and lost the wt. during that time. It changed my eating habits so much, that I am now able to eat pretty much what I want (within reason) and am making better choices. Just wanted to give you an example of what can be done. I chose the high protein..because I like mean and knew I needed to cut back on the carbs.
