Welcome to DF. I am happy that you can control your D without meds. I have tried but it doesn't work for me. Well, we are all different. Congrats on the weight loss. I eat a very low carb diet around 30 per day and find if I am not very strict it all blows up. I can cheat occassionly but it causes carb cravings for days. I have lost all the weight I need to and am fairly thin so it does get frustrating some times. I see other family members eating all the carbs they want and even a piece of fruit sends me soaring. Although it is not fair this is the hand I was dealt . One way I deal with it is by making LC treats like cookies and muffins. Check out the recipe forum, we have some fantastic cooks here. We make everthing from chocolate chip cookies, grain free granola, muffins, cake, chocolate fudge, ice cream, bagels, english muffins. You name it we can find a way to make it safe for D's.
