Hey, im a newbie!!

I'm 24 and from County Durham, anyone else??

Just started this yesterday, on a 1200cal diet

Finding it a bit tricky, I'm a Diabetic so I need carbs to be able to take my Insulin, but I'm finding that carbs means calories :/

Anyone have any suggestions on any low carb/cal foods I can use?

    I don't know anything about diabetes, but I love yoghurt for just about everything :P Im finding its low calorie and pretty good moderate carbs. Just make sure you get the no sugar stuff! ^.^

    Im a newbie from Albany! I noticed your post and the diet that I have used several times is Medifast and they have a special plan for diabetes. The weight seriously melted off and I felt great because it is packed with vitamins and minerals that you can notget in any other food (or so that we can't find). My Family started on it too and we have been trying to find stuff in the grocery stores to supplement some of their items and nothing compares. It is worth the money. I lost 1-2 pounds a day and felt awesome in terms of energy.

    I forgot to mention, I'm also trying to cut out Gluten, I'm not Coeliac, but I find when I eat alot of Gluten (maybe a large bread bun) it makes me very ill
