Poor Toni, you were building muscles, sucks because it didn't show on the scale even though it showed in your clothing fit!
It also depends on the kind of calories, if you drink a lot of empty calories in the form of sodas, the stuff in that really messes with your insulin.
Sue, I used to eat a lot of suger (not sodas) but donuts, cookies and cakes and such. I totally cut out all the sweets. I still do get some refined sugar as there is sugar in so many of our foods. But at least it is only a small amount.
Another thing that has really, really helped me is to have much more fiber in my diet. I eat more fruit and veggies and less red meat. Plus I take this Garden Of Life suppliment called RAW FIBER.
I make a health food slurry for breakfast were I put in the big scoop of Raw Fiber, my protein powders (so I get enough protein) and my antioxident Fruit Powder (I use one called Rainbow Vibrance). then I mix it in the blender until it becomes a slurry and scarf it down. I have one every day.
But as important (or maybe even more important) I also take a Garden Of Life super green food suppliment called Perfect Food Raw which I take in capsules as the powder tastes vile. It balances your body from acidic (not good) to alkaline (very good) and gives you all sorts of vitamins and mico nutrients for over all good health. Also it helps keep your blood sugar normal.
I sleep much better, I have more energy and feel great since starting these suppliments. I really, really believe in them strongly.
