Dropping the weight will help you with Diabetes unless, of course, it's genetic which in your case I am guessing is weight-related. If you stick to 2000 calories daily with high-volume low calorie healthy food choices and throw in cardio and weight training, you will healthily shed the weight. Doing it this way, you can make it a lifestyle instead of a fad diet that once you come off, the weight will find its way home. If you are over 6 ft, bump it to 2500 calories a day.While I do not desire a pissing match, one persons experience cannot be called science for many reasons.
For those interested, other than LTO-3 who is done with topic, I respond thusly, with references :
If you have prediabetes, managing your carbohydrate intake is crucial. Here are some tips to help you maintain
balanced blood sugar levels:
Remember that lifestyle changes, including diet modifications, can significantly impact your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
- Eat More Fiber-Rich Foods: Incorporate foods high in fiber, such as beans, legumes, fruits with edible skin,
- whole grains (like quinoa and barley), whole grain breads, cereals, and whole wheat pasta.
- Fiber helps you feel full longer and stabilizes blood sugar levels1.
- Watch Your Carb Intake: Aim to keep your carbohydrate consumption below 25% of your daily calories.
- This approach has been shown to lower blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of disease in people with prediabetes2.
- Choose Healthy Carbohydrates: Opt for whole grains like brown rice, farro, or quinoa.
- These have a lower glycemic index (GI) and are less likely to cause blood sugar spikes3.
Consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice based on your specific needs.

Yes, you will eat more carbs after you have cleared your body of them,
this is phase one about four weeks, but your eating change is permanent as you
