[QUOTE="DavyG, post: 1327651, member: 360485"] Hello everyone, I'm Dave and as I'm newly diagnosed... I'm here in the... newly diagnosed section :) Apart from baked beans, potatoes and occasionally peas I do not eat any other veg. I no longer crave the chocolates, jellies, licorice and boiled sweets that I ate in vast quantities, nor do I crave white bread (as much as I did and do love white bread) or pastry and cakes.... (I have found pastry is a trigger food for spikes) but, if I could only eat 1 food for the rest of my life it would be baked beans. I always knew beans are good for fibre and assumed they kept me feeling full for longer as they must take longer to break down and digest but now I'm led to believe they are bad for me, and my 2 to 3 tins per day is now 2 to 3 tins per week. Are beans THAT bad? is it the sauce? is there a way I can increase my intake? can I make baked beans but with a healthy sauce? or will beans be one more thing that I still control? Out of interest I don't eat any seafood either. :) [/QUOTE]
