[QUOTE="Gardengnome, post: 717901, member: 90244"] Thanks, that's really helpful. I really have to raise my game I think. I've been too complacent perhaps just thinking that keeping fit and exercising and not gaining weight was all I needed to do. That and the apology for doing an HFLC diet. No problem with the high fat in moderation of course - I just love butter and disregard any health person who tells me to eat polyunsaturated margarine. Obviously the low carb bit has let me down! A typical day would start with half a grapefruit, a boiled egg and a slice of toast, butter and occasionally a little marmalade. Cup of coffee, milk, no sugar mid morning; home made vegetable soup for lunch, probably quite a generous portion, piece of fruit, apple, orange, whatever is to hand.; mid afternoon a cup of tea and more fruit. Dinner might be fish, chicken or a veggy option. Always cooked from scratch and served with plenty of vegetables. Might have some potatoes but never many and often none. Rarely have pudding due to the calorie factor but might opt for a natural Greek yogurt with sweetener and lemon or maybe some honey. I drink water and no fizzy drinks. Other than writing it all down in diary form and carb counting I would have said that was pretty good but you may disagree? Please feel free to say what you think. I do think that a post meal reading of 8.2 is way too high and I should be taking more care. For one thing I should probably take readings regularly which I tend not to do, I'm far too casual. Have a nice birthday! [/QUOTE]
