[QUOTE="skipworth, post: 853315, member: 32399"] Okay, here a few more meal plans you might consider. They are all a variant on the ND but try to keep to the calorie count. The only downside is that you may find your BG levels may be a little higher as a result of eating protein which can be converted into glucose if carbs are not present, but you don't get a massive spike. 150gms of roast pork, This has become my sunday roast meal, 75gms cabbage, 75gms of Runner beans and 145gms of cauliflower, about 10 carbs and 346 calories, don't forget the gravy as well. The family can have all of this plus roast potatoes if they want. 150gms of haddock, (or pretty much any white fish), 150gms of cauliflower, (has become the replacement potato) 100gms of frozen peas and parsley sauce - 15carbs and approx 290 calories How about a stir fry, prawns 150gms, onion 35gm, mushroom 30gms and courgette 185gms (cut into long stips, a bit like spaghetti and then qucikly fired in a little oil) all cooked with soy sauce and chinese 5 spices. carbs 10gm calories 366. The family can have this with rice if they want, although I find that I don't miss it. Having protein added into the diet helps me get through it enormously and makes meals not that much defferent for everyone else, you just avoid the high carbs like potatoes, rice, pasta and bread. I'm sure if you think about what you all eat for your meals, as long as they aren't take aways you can pretty much all eat the same things, just for you without the carbs, so life isn't that different, and it isn't a crime to have an occassional slip, as long as it is occassional say for a special occassion. I find that after these meals I spike at around 8-9 and then come back down to around 6, but I think that as I am eating protein the recovery time is slightly longer than if it was just carbs, so it can take up to 3-4 hours to get back to an acceptable level. Not strictly following the ND I know but I think you do whatever it takes for yourself and don't beat yourself up about what others are manging in comparison, I know I couldn't do just salad and veggie so I adapt to something I can manage whilst still trying to keep within the calories ratio. The key will be to keep on eye on your BG readings before and after meals, then you can judge if it is working for you, and if it isn't then you can adpat to something that does work for you. Keep at it, you will get to the end. [/QUOTE]
