Here's the full post!
@IanDP and anyone else who's doing the strictish Bernstein eating plan, can I ask how you allocate your carb targets thro the day? I'm having to redistribute the 6 + 12+ 12, with a small snack first thing on waking and a fairly substantial snack around 4.30 so that I can hold out till we eat in the evening 9.30/10. (We've tried to eat earlier but very rarely manage it.)
So after that first snack of about 3g (I'm trying chopped up almonds in a bit of Greek yogurt), I have another 3g to play with for breakfast, which is usually eggs of some description and some vegetables.
Lunch is fine: chicken/smoked fish/some kind of meat plus a huge salad including an avocado, usually. That makes 12g.
So today I broke up the remaining 12g into 9g at 4.30, and the remaining 3g (except it was 6g) at supper, which tends to be a meat/fish dish and vegetables.
Anyone else tried this? I wish I cd keep just to three meals, but I DIE of hunger by 6pm and I can't get the evening meal ready by then.
All levels of detail welcomed - in fact the detail seems to help the most.
I feel that getting my BS down is really quite urgent. I am stuck at around 6.2 most mornings and for much of the day - not low enough to prevent damage, let alone spare beta-cells.
