Hi,
Hi -lo loaf is only 5 carbs per slice.
http://www.hi-lo-bread.co.uk
I get it at Sainsburys. It's only a small loaf. It's nice but a heavy bread, so I prefer to toast it. Due to having out of control levels
For do long as a type 2 diabetic with the threat of being put on insulin next vist. I have gone on a low carb diet.
For breakfast I have an Atkins vanilla shake made with water ( it's very yummy) and I put a tablespoon of benefibre in it.
For lunch I have that hi lo toasted with avocado or egg.
I have an Atkins chocolate bar in the afternoon that tastes like a bounty bar.
Dinner I have minestrone home made soup with tiny pasta shells or anything in reason.
My sugar levels are now consistently under the required amount.
I don't follow the Atkins diet or anything. The way I see it, it's moderation. Since I'm having such a low carb breakfast
And lunch. I can go out once a week and have a 500 cal pizza / small pizza or pasta dish, if there are no other options and still
Have great sugar readings.
The other day I walked so much around the city and ended up having a wholemeal wrap for lunch and was very nervous about all the carbs. However, all the exercise balanced it out.
So as a former carb junkie, cutting down the carbs is the key!
