Low carb high fat worked for me...
what is considered low carb?...can you have some carbs? or none at all....which is very hard to do and not very satisfying...
Me too, My A1c dropped from 7.2 down to 5.9 Still on 2000 mg of Metformin each day but this may be on the chopping block too.
You want more than low carbs, you want Keto, (less than 5g of carbs daily, and sugar has to be completely eliminated to do that. One tsp of sugar has 4 grams)
The secret to losing fat is to burn your own, instead of relying on sugars for energy. It's called ketosis.
My blood-sugar readings are all within range. No diabetes.
My brother-in-law had full-blown diabetes when I lost my weight and so he did the same thing. He lost 92 lbs. and his diabetes disappeared. His doctor marveled at his results.
Best way to eat there is. Not really limited by the number of calories you can eat but by the types of food you eat instead. Simple carbs only (salad-type veggies), no processed carbohydrates or starches (no bread, potatoes, sugar, cakes, cookies, pasta, etc.). Cheese, eggs, any kind of meat. Fats like real butter, mayonnaise, avocados, etc. are good. Drink lots of water every day.
