I am having a huge problem for over a year now. I am also a type II diabetic. I lost 4 lbs when I got out of the hospital last March (2005) to 192 sine then I have gained 20lbs. My diet is in check believe me. I am for all purposes doing a timed carb diet. I only take in carbs from veggies before meal 4. Meal 4 is pre workout and i have oatmeal blended with protein and pretty much the same as a post workout meal. I have not done this since i started but no matter how many calories I eat or what my macros are I seem to keep gaining weight. My waist is still 41" like it was the day I started.

Since i started I have added Armour thyroid and Androgel to my daily prescriptions. I am currently doing Max-OT.

My morning fasting number are 85-100 and 2 hours are I eat supper usually 80-95.

I take Glipize twice a day.

Other than that I am now so obsessed I can't do anything else. I eat nothing that is processed I mean nothing. I am eating around 2300 calories a day. I have eaten 1800, 2000, 2250, 2500, 2700, and 2900 calories and each and every time I have gained weight. I tried CKD, I have ate 150 carbs a day, 225 carbs a day, 275 carbs a day, I usually take in 220-240 grams of protein a day. Now with this new diet that I have been on for 3 weeks now I take in about 130 carbs a day 80 of which come pre and post workout. 225 grams of protein and the rest from fat 85-100grams. I also supplement with fish oil which I count in my diet and ALA 800mg a day and I credit it with me hardly having anymoe neuropathy pains at all.

I have been working with some that offered to help me. She can not understand why my measurement don't change and why it seems as if I am not losing any body fat at all.

Is there anyone that may be able to shed some light on this for me?

Welcome to the forums bro.

Try not to jack someone else's thread with so many personal questions. Start tour own thread to get a better response.

Send me a pm and I'll give you some solid advice on cutting up as a type 2 diabetic.

By the way I am sorry for jacking your thread man. It had been a couple months since anyone had posted in it so I didn't think anything of it. I am sorry though.

I didnt start losing any serious weight till I actually APPLIED the info I picked up on this site. People here really seem that they want you to succeed at getting to your goals. I lost good deal of weight, which my physician was done to quickly and was unsafe but I was/am so paronoid about becoming insulin dependent that I did some really stupid things ( liquide diets, T3 and phentramine, dumb sh*t ). So far I have been able to keep most of the weight with the gym and diet. The best advice I can give you, belive me I'm not one that should be giving advice but KEEP IT SIMPLE dont over analize the situation, dont get impaient like I did!!!! good luck!
