[QUOTE="Protea, post: 900010, member: 132554"] I can't understand how porridge can be recommended. If I consumed it my GI would go through the roof next morning. I do miss eating porridge - not the oat version but the maize type ( mealie pap) but I don't. Manage on low GI but have no weight problems. Avoid carbs but sometimes succumb. Yesterday had a Greek style barbecue. A very small chicken continuously rotating over wood coals for over an hour by a small motor. Then three of us had it with salad. The higher carb followed - a low pastry melk (milk) tart. Shouldn't have had it but I did. GI this morning 6.9. That I can accept. Today will find a use for the left over chicken. Soup?? Perhaps your nurse is overweight because of the porridge!! I have no health professionals except very occasional visits to my GP. Your NHS seems determined to recommend the high carb low fat diet imported from the USA and which made most Americans overweight. My only cost is the strips for my meter. My wife is not diabetic. Hence the melk tart!! T2 for about 14 years. Still alive and a BMI of 25. Would like to get the Cavan book but no delivery to RSA. All the best and may the force be with you. [/QUOTE]
