"Folks - ive finally been smacked upside the head and realised how bad diabetes could make the future for me. Im not diabetic (yet) but i nees to lose weight quickly and sustainably. Any helpful suggestions? Please bear in mind that this is a serious question, i have tried changing my diet too many times to remember and always ALWAYS come back to the easy food. " hey good food is tasty i enjoy fish especially sea bass and i also eat chicken both low in terms of fat and fish contains omega3 very good for you i dont take sugar as an additive in coffee and i drink lots of water and find this to be the only drink that really quenches my thirst if i do drink beer which isnt much i drink guiness one of the better beers in terms of calories but if youre a lager drinker then most german bottled beers have all sugar brewed out of them, hope this helps and good luck, i had a brother in law lovely guy died as a result of diabetes i did try to tell him and he wouldn't listen | |||

"Slimming world is good, they have been known to also reverse type 2 diabetes. " Sorry Id have to disagree massively with that one. The plan is basically high carb low fat which can show some short term improvements for some people, but for those who have a problem dealing with blood sugar, all those carbs won’t be helpful. Yes losing some weight can be helpful for some people, and enough to improve diabetes but that’s not to say it’s a healthy way to live. Fact is that 95% of people who diet put it all back on within 5 years, so dieting is likely a waste of time for most. TB | |||

Ignore the current NHS eatwell plate (that will kill you in the end) and diabetes.org and join the forums at diabetes.co.uk (the red one). Take charge now and for the rest of your life, it will set you free. | |||

"You don't need to competely cut out anything. Your body needs a littke of everything. It's all about eating in moderation and portion size. Exercise is vital. It can be difficult to get started if you aren't doing any but it's worth the health benefits. Try a fitness group or a bootcamp where people support and encourage, that's what I did as I found going to a gym on my own was so boring. Good luck with it." There’s every need to cut carbs! Exercise help but the main focus is changing eating habits for life. It’s all about IR and IF. | |||

Completely agree with this .... and doable! ..... if really want to and avoid blindness, losing your legs, heart attack, stroke and Kidney failure! - not necessarily in that order of course ! | |||

"I am diabetic and its hard to stick to a low carb diet and now suger ,nearly everything contains suger ,even fruit ,even diabetic sweets and jam contain suger and you have to avoid eating it .." Gotta go for real foods to solve that problem! It’s not necessarily a walk in the park but I’d rather (and have done for 5 years) go without certain foods and get my health back. CArb addiction can Ben strong, need to recognise it first then find ways to overcome. Can be done, as myself and Topsy amongst others show TB | |||

"I am diabetic and its hard to stick to a low carb diet and now suger ,nearly everything contains suger ,even fruit ,even diabetic sweets and jam contain suger and you have to avoid eating it .." ripe bananas and grapes are the main culprits but apples pears and greenish bananas are better than diabetic foods replacements. You need to wean off sweet stuff, hard I know, but it does work and having something such as mushroom omelette are a good substitute, as is a stir fry veg in an omelette also. Porridge with blueberrys and seeds such as sunflower and a linseed blend that most supermarkets stock are a good start to the day. | |||

It’s a massive bowl of carbs but the only way to really tell is to test the effect on blood sugar. It’s also not necessary to break your fast in the morning, it can be done much later in the day. Intermittent fasting is of huge benefit to all humans. Google autophagy. | |||

"I am diabetic and its hard to stick to a low carb diet and now suger ,nearly everything contains suger ,even fruit ,even diabetic sweets and jam contain suger and you have to avoid eating it .." I find it blindingly simple and have done for over 11 years. So much so my recent HbA1c of 27 has placed me firmly in the remission bracket. Protein, dairy, nuts, seeds, eggs and most above ground veg is all we need for perfect health and extremely tasty food. Unless you know what oxalates are then like me, you go carnivore | |||

Those with pre diabetes and diabetes cannot process carbs. Why are you advocating eating carbs to people to whom they are slow poison? I’ve not eaten any for 11 years and I’ve been pure carnivore since April. What quantities are ‘moderation’? Is it ok for alcoholics, those with anaphylaxis causing allergies and celiacs to have alcohol, nuts and wheat in moderation? | |||

"Im diabetic, type 2. I have lost over a stone by being very strict with food and alot of exercise. Plenty of high fibre foods, protein, veg and a small amount of carbs. In the gym go for low impact machines such as cross trainers. Doing high reps of low weights helps as well. Muscle needs calories and therfore you will butn more. Weight around the midrift is the trouble so cut backnon crap food and swap it for healthy snacks. Good luck. " Sounds like you’ve done a good start there, what was your HbA1c then and now? | |||

" Wouldn't recommend cutting out any food groups to be honest such as carbs i mean vegetables are carbs so yeah. You need to work out your TDEE and find out how many calories you need to maintain ypur current body weight and then cut it by 15% and thats how many calories you should roughly eat to lose fat/weight sustainably. You will not lose weight/fat unless you eat less calories than you burn. The most important thing is calories and protein!!! I've lose 18kg since April. | |||

" Don't try to lose weight quickly. Drop as much processed food as possible. Start by making easy small changes - white bread to brown/wholemeal/seeded, white rice to brown (or mix it) /wild, potatoes to jacket potatoes. Have healthy snack options like fruit/veg/nuts. Serve food on smaller plates. Eat/chew slower and when full don't feel you have to finish what's on your plate. Drink more during the day. And when hungry drink first - sometimes confuse thirst signals for hunger. Change milk chocolate to dark. Reduce alcohol intake. Drink fruit juice only in small amounts. | |||
