So my doctor doesn't seem to concerned about it, but I lost 5 lbs in the first 2 weeks of my new diet... I find it odd how I never had cramping and or discomfort in my belly before now. I wonder if the two are related.
I was so borderline with my test results, I failed by 1 point! My numbers have been great, I even had a half a donut from dunkin donuts yesterday with my lunch and my number was still only 109. I am not going to lie, I still use regular sugar in my coffee in the morning and my breakfast numbers have never been over 105.
My doctor told me to "pig out" more and add a cheat meal to my diet once a week to counter the weight loss.
Have you lost weight since being diagnosed with GD? Did it stop?
Re: GD and weight loss
I heard that losing weight is normal when you first start the diet as you are eating more healthier and according to serving sizes. I have to try to have 3 meals and 2 snacks. Maybe try to add some more protein and more carbs and cut back on simple sugars it may help maintain your weigh instead of you losing any more.
I have been diagnosed since 8 weeks and have only gained 3 pounds, my doctor is very happy with it.
I think it's normal. You are eating healthy and for the most part, eating the same thing every day. For many people, it's eating a lot healthier than they previously did. You could add more protein or another healthy snack. I wouldn't advise adding more donuts or sugar...
