I'm looking forward to hearing other responses because I'm on Day 18 of a Whole30 and at first lost 10 pounds but nothing for a whole week. Mi know I'm not supposed to weigh...can't help it.

Your story is so inspiring to me! I want to lose at least 94...for a BMI under 25. It's gone so well so far. Nervousness about the end and those last few pounds too...but I still have 44 to go so no worries yet. I love that you've maintained...you should be proud!

Hi! I was diagnosed in September with an a1c of 7.8 and just reversed it with an a1c of 5.6 in 3 months...eating low carb...was doing primal, now doing paleo, a Whole30 right now. I didn't take one pill either. You can do it!

I'm Tracy and this is my first Whole30. I lost a little over 40 pounds doing primal but felt I still had some issues giving in to some cravings (emotional, not physical) so I took this on as a challenge to see that I could do it. I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes in September and reversed it at my January 4th appt. I…

I am a huge fan of the Weston A Price Foundation and Thomas Cowan. Here's an article of his on Treating Diabetes that talks about limiting carbs. http://www.westonaprice.org/diabetes/treating-diabetes Dr. Diana Schwarzbein's books are also amazing on teaching about how critical diet is in treating diabetes. I find that I…

I am SO happy to hear that it's possible. I was diagnosed in September and chose to do it all through diet and exercise also. I have my first follow up appointment in a couple of weeks and have already lost 33 pounds. Can't wait to hear. I do know that 1)I still have a ways to go before I officially lose the diagnosis and…

Just diagnosed. Chose no meds. Doing low carb also...still tweaking but doing 60-70 (though its usually less) per day. I am doing something resembling paleo/primal...eating real foods like our ancestors ate. Love hearing other perspectives and learning.

I wish this group was more active now that I found it! I have been working on eating a traditional diet for several years and I do well sometimes and less well others. My son is adopted and he was on the homemade cow's milk formula and he eats raw dairy (we all do). Haven't done as much fermenting although I'd like to.…

That's how I was - sweet cravings all the time. I cut them completely 100% out (diet similar to paleo) and have no more cravings. Find it better for me to avoid them completely. I'm about 100 pounds overweight and have loved sweets my whole life but was just diagnosed with Type II diabetes and it's just not worth it. :) Go…

Do you eat a low carb diet because of being diabetic? I'm looking for other choosing a similar diet to cure their diabetes.

You are SO beautiful! Amazing story. My story except I wasn't really overweight until I was 16...puberty and bad eating habits. On 9/25/12, after a fasting lab to check a high blood sugar, I was given the diagnosis of Type II diabetes. I freaked out. I joined MFP (again) that day and will never look back. I'm your same…
