Croissants, jacket potatoes with baked beans, toast with baked beans, baked beans with baked beans, Oh how did you guess baked beans.

 

[Rick.D]

Can't you have baked beans reduced sugar on whole meal toast to slow down the absorbsion of carbs/sugar?

 

[satindoll]

Nope, and yuk to those beans, give me the real beans or nothing at all.

I haven't changed my diet very much at all.

I don't really like spuds and I was going low-moderate carb in any case before diagnosis. I think the only thing I've cut back on is the dried fruit which I used to eat with gay abandon, these days I tend to be snaffling nuts by the handful.

My dear departed ma, used to tell me how, as a child during wartime rationing, she was taught to make chocolate spread with mashed potato and cocoa powder. Apparently the kids thought it was delicious. Sounds gross to me.


Edit, sorry a bit off topic, though still on the spud theme.
