Milk

[lucylocket61]

all the little plastic pots of 'milk' I see in the cafes round here are not milk, they are a vegetable substitute. I dont have them.

sugars are often another word for carbs. All carbs turn to sugar (glucose) in our bodies.

But what i don't get is if we don't eat or only have low amounts of carbs we control our sugars but the liver makes glucose!!!so we r fighting a losing battle aren't we?

You really need to start looking at the labels on your food.

I use the alpro unsweetened yogurt which has 0g sugars and 0.1g carbohydrates over some berries and sugar free jelly for puddings, so super yummy

I mean on everything... then you will see what the carb contents of various food types are. If you get into the habit of doing that you'll soon find out what foods have sugars and carbs and which have less then you can adjust your shopping habits to match.

R we allowed Jelly with High Blood sugar?

paging Daisy1 for the basics so @Julie27318 can have a refresher course on it please

The hartleys sugar free jelly you make up has 0.5g sugar and 0.5g carbohydrates per serving

I have never heard of alpro unsweetened yogurt, been trying to find a zero carb version of it. Maybe haven't really had too much of a look or they may not have it in Australia. The jelly i get is Aeroplane jelly lite. Zero sugar and 0.1 carbs. Winner in my book. Little bit of cream or double cream and you have a nice dessert. Never have milk so can't comment on that one.

@Tipetoo How can we ever forget that. You've made my day.

I think it depends how many carbs you want to eat - I tend to have full fat milk in my tea, coffee, cheese sauce etc

I have just started using watered down cream in tea instead of milk. It saves me a few grams of carbs a day...every little helps.

As tea contains water why not just use less cream?
