Original post by xoxAngel_KxoxI know. If I looked back at the amount of times I've moaned on this thread, I'd be shocked. If it was anybody else I'd be screaming at them to walk away, but obviously it isn't that easy when you're in that situation! As you know. I respect you massively for making that decision, as it's certainly not an easy one.
I did mention that he wasn't choosing the right carbs. And yes, I am aware that you can eat cakes as part of a healthy diet. I do it myself. But I look at his meals, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that they're neither balanced nor healthy. And clearly as he's had trouble with his sugars recently, and is gaining weight relatively rapidly, the diet isn't doing him much good.
Talk to us! Rant as much as you like, PM me, add me on Facebook, do anything other than drink like that again xx
My BF is T2.. I'm not sure whether that changes anything, but I DO know that when he manages to lose weight, his sugars improve. No idea of the science behind any of it. I do understand that carbs should be present in most diets, however he has got the idea that he ONLY needs carbs. Rarely eats vegetables or meat. Goodness knows where he gets his vitamins from (actually, he probably doesn't). Sorry for the rant.. it's only because I care about him!
EDIT: Also, your description of cake made it sound sooooo good! I want cake now :P.
