Low Carb Diet:

[Hapless]

I had earlier reported that I have stopped taking wheat chapati at Dinner. In two months, I had reduced weight by 2 Kgs. This month I have again been able to reduce by 1 Kg. This comes to about 1 Kg per month. So it is a confirmation from from me that absence of chapati at dinner helps in weight reduction. This correspondingly reduces the need for insulin dose, signifying that the body is more near normal. Any comments ?

please advise what is included in fat ?

This is very encouraging. Please do inform us after one month.

What is your BMI? Mine was about 23 which though acceptable, is on higher side.

if you take carbs less than 100gms there is likely hood of developing ketosis which is a medical emergency.
