Good Evening, my friends, at 8:52 Post Meridian British Summer Time, today, Thursday 17th August 2017 Anno Domini,
I've just been reading about the low-carb diet on
http://www.diabetes.co.uk and I realise that out of my next shopping trip with my Home Care worker, I've got to stick to the low-carb, high-fat diet. I keep saying this but it's of paramount importance to me, even if complying with it is difficult. Debra Sue, on this Forum Thread, advised me to try alternatives like Celeriac instead of potatoes, and Soya and Linseed bread (very low-carb), and nuts of different types. I do realise that I have to increase my exercise levels like walking, and swimming, and increasing my intake of vegetables whilst being wary of the fructose in fruit, to gain adequate control of my blood glucose. And avoiding Coffee Mate which contains glucose syrup and buy milk (for the high-fat side of the diet, full-cream milk would be essential) and Butter and Cheese. I really like Cheese on Toast so when I get my new cooker on Wednesday 23rd of this month, I intend to have some melted cheese on toasted soy and linseed bread. I must try to find out the supermarkets that stock celeriac, too, I think Debra Sue suggested celeriac chips and celeriac mash, as well as cauliflower rice as an alternative to starchy, high-carb-density basmati and long-grain rice. And also recommended to me was spoilt pasta, so I'm going to google that and find out the supermarkets in my area that stock it.
There;s always alternatives to high-density-carb food as advised to me by the awesome people on the diabetes forum, all it takes is a bit, or maybe, in-depth research and that's when Google and MSN would come in handy. I have to listen to this cool advice, it could eradicate all the spikes and weight increases and health complications that go hand in hand with the diabetic conditions. It may mean re-evaluating my shopping bill and doing more research but I'll keep you posted on what I learn as well as mentioning in my posts the kind of foods I'm eating, eliminating deep pan pizzas, conventional kinds of pasta and ordinary high-carb-density rice. Even cereals have to be eradicated because they raise blood glucose and ensure massive spikes in the glycemic index. I think maybe blueberries with Greek natural yoghurt is a very good breakfast, low-carb, high-fat and very good for my diabetic condition.
I still have some high in glucose and high in sodium, high-carb ready meals (Spaghetti Bolognese) in my freezer and also some starchy, high-carb types of pasta in my cupboard above the microwave oven in my kitchen. I think this low-carb, high-fat diet has to commence as soon as possible even if it means slumming it for a day or two until my next pay day or maybe only eating it in small quantities to avoid diabetic hypoglycemia. This low-carb, high-fat diet is a real life saver and makes for impeccable diabetes control. I have to exercise sound motivation in accordance with the way I was brought up.
I didn't eat much this anything, owing to having reduced appetite but not in a bad way, just preoccupied with the awesome Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts film on my Sky Plus Box called Notting Hill and munching on some sliced raw onions although I must confess it was a strong taste and I had to eat it slowly. I didn't enjoy it that much, though, if I'm honest. It nearly blew my head off! My favourite Disney Channel American red=head actress Bella Thorne has been to known to eat raw onions like they're apples, according to Youtube. How extraordinary!
Much love to you all, have a lovely relaxing evening, and be really complacent and happy with the fact that I'm going to amend a lot of these negative autism spectrum behaviours, with the help of yourselves and awesome friends like Lee and Ioanna, the care providers allocated to support me and my totally lovely elderly father.
From,
Johnny, with sincere, heart-felt love and appreciation. xXx.
