Default How to start a low-carb diet? -a begginer

I'm over forty, quite tall an rather fit but I've put on a couple of
pounds last winter. Sugar levels turned out too high this year so I've
been on pills for a couple of month (diabetes type II). My doc told me
to cut eating bread and pasta, but that's it. I am not a much of a meat
eater, and I've read some web pages about low carb diet - Im especially
interested in loosing some weight and getting rid of the diabetes.

Can someone, who actually did loose weight and got rid of the diabetes
by low-carb diet, give me some advice and help with starting the diet? I
love pasta, I used to eat dumplings and pies, but I could live without
meat. I'm not really keen on sweets, cakes etc, but liife without bread,
rice and pasta is quite tough for me. OK, I've reduced these kinds of
food, but what else? I guess I have to replace those with meat in many
forms, yoghurts, buttermilk etc. - but what else? Any websites, good
books and personal advice would be mostly appreciated. What to start
with?

Sorry for the topic, I'm not a native speaker - should have been "a
beginner".

I've had type II for over 11 years. Following a low-carb diet has
helped me control it, and lose weight, but not get rid of it. Only
pills and diet so far.

Low-carb diets are usually harder to start than low-fat diets (which
will also help you lose weight if you follow them well). However,
within a few months, low-carb diets reduce your appetite enough that
they become easier to follow than low-fat diets, which don't reduce
your appetite.

The most successful people at controlling their type II over in
newsgroup alt.support.diabetes tend to be those using low-carb diets.
However, if you go to that newsgroup, I recommend that you tell your
newsreader to ignore any messages crossposted to newsgroup
sci.med.cardiology, since the most active kooks almost always
crosspost there. Definitely, ignore all posts from a Dr. Chung, unless
you have enough experience as a psychiatrist to help him.

A few web sites that may help you:

Controlling the Dawn Phenomenon

Many people claim that they sell a way to cure diabetes. Almost
all of these are using a different definition of "cure" than the
rest of the world.

I've read of just one scientifically verified cure of diabetes,
for a person with both type I and a more life-threatening
condition. His treatment involved killing his bone marrow with
radiation, then giving him a bone marrow transplant from
someone else with a slight genetic difference that prevents
his immune cells from attacking the beta cells in the pancreas.
This treatment requires him to take anti-rejection medicines
for the rest of his life - but it did cure his type I.

I don't see why that would be. On a typical LC plan, eg Atkins,
you're
not counting calories and can eat until you're not hungry. Fat
produces
satiety, so you're not hungry. LF, with higher carbs does the
opposite.


*However,
within a few months, low-carb diets reduce your appetite enough that
they become easier to follow than low-fat diets, which don't reduce
your appetite.


Actually the effect is seen within days. That's one reason LC works
so well.

That appetite effect varies quite a bit from person to person. While I
did better on LC diets than on LF diets, my appetite never seemed to
appreciably change on LC, even after several months. But for those
that DO get that effect, it makes things easier.
