What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[mo53]

Hello. Somebody asked about the chocolate mug cake but I can't find the post.

This is one of the links. I used melted butter instead of oil.
Sorry @jojo broadie I couldn't find your post but I have now. I hope you are ok with the link

My advice FWIW would be to remove virtually all carbs. If you keep trying to see which you can eat without a large impact on your BG, you'll end up going around in circles and your levels won't improve hugely. I would (and did) go very low carb for a while, see the results in lower BG levels, and when you reach a stage where your levels are non-diabetic constantly you can start to experiment by adding a small amount back into your diet and testing the response.

Just my experience.

Well i've been eating fish or chicken with vegetables mostly, before dinner my BG was 5 and after it was 5.6 it's been pretty close to that most days apart from the granola but at least i know not to eat it again.

Hi i had boiled Bass Fish with boiled Courgette, Peppers and Mushrooms, before my BG was 5.0 after it was 5.6

I've read porridge is good for lowering sugar levels it has good carbohydrates which are high in soluble fibres, i can only try it and test for myself and see

Doesn't work fir me. BG just spikes later

Had an orange this afternoon - which was around 30g carbs - but it was good! The day's total so far is 58g, so in the grand scheme of things, not too bad?

Do you not get hungry eating so little?

Hello @s.sollis I use myfitnesspal.com to keep a food diary. It helps me to monitor my carbs, calories and weight loss progress. I must admit I usually eat more than I have done today. I think today was quite unusual

Oh right, I would be so hungry if I just ate that. Are you trying to lose weight?

 

[mo53]

Yes I am losing weight slowly which is great.

Yes I have been eating them, I just needed to know carb content as I got to do a food/ carb diary for my DSN.

 

[superwoman1964]

I am taking the low carb approach, .... i've got an appointment with the specialist dietitian on the 26th so should find out loads of good information then ...

I wouldn't hold your breath if I was you LOL

 

[Wayne36]

I wouldn't hold your breath if I was you LOL

I only said that to sound positive LOL, by the time i had seen my diabetic nurse i'd pretty much read up on everything she told me , what was your experience like lol

 

[Chook]

I wouldn't hold your breath if I was you LOL

LOL . Never met a dietitian yet who didn't recommend that Eatwell plate diet - the diet that insists on carbs with every meal and which raised my BG to late 20s/ early 30s.
