I went on lifestyle change ādietā about 12 years ago after being told I had diabetes ,despite all the books any hype out there which diets are better ..I gave in and signed up with a very expensive diet company which cost me $800 for 12 months.
I lost 26kg in weight ...,the diet was based on high protein with little carbs ( 1.5 slices of bread a day ) I went from 91 kg to 65 Kg. In 5 months ..
At the time my own GP of 32 years didnāt recognise me after the weight loss .
it became a way of life not a diet
...I never ate junk food just to many carbs, like cereal for breakfast / sandwich for lunch / bread with evening meals/ pasta dishes/ Iāve never drank alcohol
Iāve since gained 5 kg of the weight back in 11 years .......I canāt eat much in the way of carbs now days a very small loaf of bread lasts me over a month.
Oh and best of all .....
I donāt have diabetes no sign at all not even pre diabetes in my very recent blood test
