Now I’m really confused, my nurse said I could eat carbs, I have shredded wheat for breakfast, whole meal sandwich for lunch, with carrot sticks and apple and evening meal I have like brown rice with something, or sweet potato etc etc I have cut sugar out from tea cereal etc ans pick the bread wth lowest sugar per slice, if I don’t have carbs where do I get energy?
I was like you mate, totally lost and confused.
Follow the low carb program -
https://www.lowcarbprogram.com/
https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/
Avoid potatoes, bread, pasta, rice, noodles, wheat, white flour, grains and all starchy vegetables like sweetcorn, carrots, peas, parsnips.
Switch to low carb high fat diet - natural healthy fats from meat, poultry, oily fish like salmon; nuts like walnuts, pecan, almonds; avocados, butter, cheese, full fat cream, extra virgin olive oil etc.
Eat low glycemic “above ground” vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, spinach, kale, red peppers, aubergines etc.
The only “fruits” that we can really have are berries like raspberries, strawberries and blackberries, sweet fruits and blueberries high in fructose are best to be avoided.
Avoid sugar and other sweeteners, use “Stevia” (200x sweeter than sugar but zero carb); also avoid cheap peanut, corn, canola cooking oils, sauces with hidden carbs and sugars!
No more sweet fizzy drinks and fruit juices.
Drink plenty of water with sliced lemons!
He is keen for me to pick him up a blood gloucose monitor though so that should help us work it all out.
