Hi, do you mean each otem of food has no more than five carbs in it? Well done in your weight loss! Very impressive.
I need to lose about three stone, so a long way to go, but I have only been on carb free for a week and have lost at least six pounds so I'm very hopeful I can do it, but must admit trying to replace bread, potatoes, rice is difficult.

Hi, I have found a delicious bread in Morrisons. Pricey at £1.60 . but worth it because "normal " breads send my BG through the roof. It,s called Livlife and at only 3.8 carbs per slice, I have 2 toasted with a poached egg for breakfast

 

[alive]

B - One slice wholemeal toast + half a bannana with Sri Lanka cinnamon
L - Three wholemeal biscuits
D - A glass of Gazpacho (Cold soup)
100 g turkey stir fried in extra virgen olive oil with tomatoes / fresh ginger
Steamed spinach, broccoli, courgettes
Table spoon of steamed rice
Baked apple simmered in water with cloves with unsweeted greek style yogurt and cinnomen.

This type of diet has lost me 10 kilos in weight in 16 weeks and brought my glucose levels to a normal level from 315 mg/dL (17.48 mmol/L) to 75 mg/dL (4.16 mmol/L)

Purchased a piece of English lamb from Aldi, it was delicious could cut it with a butter knife and there was enough for four easily. Had it with fresh runner beans from the garden.

Can anybody tell me if cheese is good to eat when you have type 2 diabetes,I know it's high in fat but I eat a lot of it as it seems to be my substitute to having snacks that are high in carbs or sugar

Good Question! I'd like to know that as I'm having it as a savoury element in morning omelettes.

I'd also recommend walnuts and/or pecans as tasty snacks thatkeep you going while lunch

 

[Rudyard]

So far it's been coffee (cannot manage without some good coffee), one-egg omelette with a grating of cheese, I'll be snacking on walnuts.

Lunch is braised oxtail, braised red cabbage and a little butternut squash.

Tonight it'll be sea bass and prawns, with tomatoes and aubergine. If I can be bothered maybe some pickled cucumber. Glass of wine.

 

[Rudyard]

Another omelette with cheese this morning for breakfast - Coffee

Lunch'll be last of oxtail with tomatoes and some cavolo nero

Tonight lamb neck fillets (from supermarket bargain bin), roasted butternut squash with garlic and rosemary, aubergine, pan-grilled
