Kiss70 I think the secret is keeping carbs low. I’m not sure that the main emphasis should be on weight ‘per se’.
I started eating low carb just over 4 years ago. My BS was never very high, close to 7 and around 6.4 with metformin. I found that my BS came down quite quickly as my weight dropped. I started gaining again but I stayed low carb and my BS is still stable. My last HbA1c, without medication, was 5.1. I do random finger pricks and I’m usually around mid 5s. So in my experience, and it is only my experience, staying away from refined carbs seems to be the most important factor in putting T2 into remission.
Avoiding carb binges ….. don’t keep the stuff in the house!!! Refined carbs really are addictive so you just have to go ‘cold turkey’. I enjoy a few squares of 90% chocolate but if that’s not appealing start with 70%. Try a few nuts or a piece of cheese if you fancy a nibble. The need for carbs will pass in time. There is a thread ‘Take a look at This’ with loads of great information, lots of articles, videos and references to good books.
Enjoy you journey and don’t give up giving up the carbs!
