[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1998258, member: 355878"] For a biological omnivore governed by an ethical vegetarian, there can be problems. There is only so much starch and sugar a type two diabetic can cope with at any particular time, my personal limit is 10 percent carbs in order to avoid spikes, simply as that is self limiting, the bulk of the food makes it unlikely that I'd over eat.Perhaps the best way to start would be to seek out protein sources with low carbs - I notice that some things made from Quorn have carbs added in the processing. Fat sources - low in Omega 6 is thought a good idea, so avoid sunflower, corn and various other plant based oils. Carbs from salad stuff are what I go for, but weighed out portions of higher starch or sugar foods could be OK - many say no sugar - but as starch is converted to sugar as soon as you start to chew I don't see the difference between the two as foods.
