[QUOTE="pleinster, post: 1010646, member: 221545"] Hi. I think, all things considered, you're doing great. One tip on the fruit front...avocados are a must; if they were cowboys they'd be wearing the white hats...they taste great; they have generally less than 16g carbs (less than most fruits); they are low on the Glycemic Index (ie. they digest and enter the bloodstream as sugar pretty slowly..avoiding a spike in the blood sugar level you may get from many other fruits); each one has around 15-20g monounsaturated fat (which is the "good" fat which produces good cholesterol, HDL - good for the heart); they help keep electrolyte levels up (which are depleted when sugar levels are high); around 12g of fibre helps the digestive system and help you keep fibre intake up; and they have more potassium in them than bananas do. Personally, I have one with a wee drop of mayo most lunchtimes (often with maybe 4 or 5 strawberries..and I find it has, if anything, a briefly reducing effect on my BS level. No - I don't sell avocados. + [/QUOTE]
