[QUOTE="phil1966, post: 855937, member: 144138"] Just as an update to this thread, I now seem to have found a diet that is good for both my weight and blood sugars and they are again staying stable throughout the day (not as low as on LCHF but back in the 5s after 2 hours and not above 7.8 after an hour) and my weight this morning was exactly the same as last week The carbs I found I can and can't add are as below (keeping the total below 150g a day) [b]can eat[/b] Burgen Soya and Linseed Bread (no more than 2 slices a day) Seeds (don't seem to affect me at all BS wise) Bananas (small, no more than one a day) - this one surprised me! Sweetcorn (no more than 20g at a time) Oatibix with full fat milk (the most surprising one - pushes my BS to around 7.6 on the hour, but down to starting point after 2 hours) Larger amounts of Strawberries and Raspberries (up to 50g in a serving) Small amount of 90% Cocoa chocolate Small amount of brown rice [b]OR[/b] a single wholemeal chapatti with a hot curry (homemade) [b]can't eat[/b] Pizza (no surprise there!) Potatoes (Mashed, boiled, roasted or fried makes no difference: hammers my BS level) White bread (again, no surprise) white rice (ditto!) any indian bread apart from the above mentioned chapatti In addition, I'm not eating any supper and keeping carbs after early evening to a minimum: Basically, I get them by having oatibix for breakfast and 2 slices of burgen bread as a sandwich at lunchtime with a cooked meal at night with loads of fresh vegetables Doing that seems to have stabilised by blood and my weight. Of course, what works for me might not work for everyone (and it certainly wouldn't have worked for me 6 months ago!) [/QUOTE]
