Can anyone advise where porridge comes in on a low carb diet? I believe it is slow release but cannot find any facts.

Maybe next time try a smaller portion of 40g, this may keep your 1 hour spike down to 7 or below.

As stated in my post the standard portion size as recommended on the box weighed out as usual.cugila said:...... The normal portion size is usually 30g per person.
My goodness Wally you must have such an appetite ??........

Not too much of an appetite at all these days, I've lived on a daily calorific intake of around 1,300 to 1,500 calories per day for quite a long time now. Can't say that I ever feel hungry either.

Thanks again Nigel,noblehead said:........May I suggest to you John that you try All-bran again, but this time use a 30-40g portion, add some seeds of your prefered choice ( I use linseeds and pumpkin seeds ) and add a small dash of milk with 2-3 tablespoons of low-fat yogurt, and then test accordingly. I find I peak at no more than 7.5 one hour after, and fall to 5-6 on the 2,3 and 4 hour mark. Apart from being a nutritious breakfast, it is also helps keep you regular. .........
No - Ken! It wasn't Scott's Porage Oats, I stated in my post that it was "Tesco Finest Scottish Porridge Oats".cugila said:........John. Is that Scotts Porage Oats.......or something different. You see that's what they recommend for ONE person, 60g would be for two. Seems a big discrepancy to me....maybe the boxes are different round your way ??
What's a calorie then, I never use them, its always carbs and fats and protein. That's how I lost 5 stone plus. Maybe I should look into them. I can't say I ever have. Didn't seem to have any relevance when I was lowering Bg and dieting at the same time.

As regards calories, they are what I used to lose 30kgs in weight. You seemed to be inferring that I had an appetite problem and maybe I was overeating.
Personally, I use carbohydrate management to lower my blood glucose levels. Very similar to yourself I suspect.
Yes Debs - you are like most of us who have been led down the garden path by the advice that we have had from our healthcare professionals. It took me eight years to come to understand that it was their advice that was causing my Type 2 condition to worsen - or the inevitable progression of diabetes as they call it.magicaldebs said:......The worst of it is that Ive only just found out after years of doing what I was told..........
