All these ‘fast fixes’ ie. eat 800 calories a day for 8 weeks and you can ‘reverse’ Type 2 diabetes make it seem a more benign/controllable disease? I’m a classic yo-yo dieter - skinny till my 20s then ‘naturally’ a BMI of 25-30, pregnancy weight etc.
I am seduced by the fact I can reverse this disease (have had the ‘you are pre-diabetic’ talk from the Dr) and it sometimes makes me complacent. Anyone know what I mean?
I think it’s great you can starve yourself out of the danger zone and I’ve done 8 weeks and lost 2 stones at least 3 times but I always revert back again and never lose that appetite for all those foods that are bad for me (bread, potatoes, pasta etc...)
AIBU In feeling a bit cynical?
