[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 212887, member: 6467"] Ummm...... If that is what you are eating during the day then this may be why you are feeling rubbish. You don't say what you are eating for breakfast. On the low carb front you are doing practically everything wrong! Bread (granary or otherwise) is a major carb source. Rich tea biscuits are packed with carbs and sugars. Mashed potatoes are carbs processed to be rapidly absorbed. In my view to low carb you should be eating a protein rich breakfast (quite a large one if you can manage this), protein snacks (e.g. chicken salad) and NO BREAD during the day and no potatoes, pasta, rice, bread etc. in the evening. In dietary terms it is generally not good to load your eating towards the evening meal - your evening meal would have been much better as a mid day meal. However people who are working are often constrained by their environment and find it difficult to have a reasonable mid day meal. Given the blood sugar readings you report I don't think you are suffering from diabetes symptoms - you may be feeling rough because you are messing around with your diet, not eating regular meals, and generally worrying about it all or there may be some other reason. Certainly skipping a midday meal then snacking on high carb/sugar items in the afternoon is not going to help (although I suspect that is how a lot of people 'diet'). Sorry I can't be much help.
