like any other diet do any of you have that ‘cheat meal’ or some chocolate or crisps now and then?
It’s my friends birthday next week and we are going for pizza at Pizza Hut, and I know I won’t be able to just have a slice or two, I want to enjoy it at the same time and it’s not something I have often.....
I am losing weight and exercising, I follow slimming world which is working for me. I have found carbs like wholewheat pasta, whole grains cous cous, sweet potatoes do r affect by bg with huge spikes. It usually goes up by no more than 2 mmol, and I find foods like crisps, chocolate, fatty foods raise my bg more, although with slimming world I am limited to those foods as I have what’s called syns (5-15 a day) so I tend to use that for healthy fats like avocado and chia seeds and usually a few for a small chocolate bar but I’m not going crazy like my diet before.
And although with slimming world you can eat as much pasta and potatoes you want I certainly don’t, I may have potatoes twice a week and I weight my whole wheat pasta to a one person serving and have that twice a week....
Do any of you have maybe a treat once a week/ month or whatever.
