Hello to everyone on the BSD good luck with your diets.
I was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic about 6 weeks ago, my Mum told me about the book and so I bought it. I started dieting a few weeks ago and have lost about a stone and a half, sticking to the diet more and more as time went on. Initially I just removed carbs and sugars from my diet, but recently have ditched muesli breakfasts, weekend fry ups and I’ve gone for yoghurt with nuts and fruit for breakfast and smaller main meals in the evenings, with leftovers for lunch.
I’ve always tried to be reasonably active, cycling to work and going for walks, and I thought I was eating reasonably healthily : plenty of salads and fruit. But I liked my pies and fish and chips as well :S by the time of my diagnosis I was about 17.5 stone. Clearly I was kidding myself with the healthy eating stuff.
Anyway nice to join you all.
