Cripes. Another thing to think about. Just when I thought I was doing so well. I expect I will always eat fibre simply because I have found fruit and veg in my diet to be something that seems to make me feel better.

B: 50g cucumber, 50g tomatoes, 200g Heinz low sugar beans, 50g Tesco soft cheese Mid Morning: 1 orange L: Channa Dahl (approx. 80g lentils) D: 250g chicken, stir-fried and then baked veg (mushrooms, onions, broccoli) with pinch of fajita seasoning and some salt and pepper plus a salad. 2...

The recommended fibre intake is 30g per day although most people have 14g-18g. Having said that I have had a very dodgy stomach today after a whopping 37g of fibre. Not sure I want to go through that every day!

Hi debrasue. Thanks for the tip. Something new I have learned about. I don't think I necessary need to go this far because I am finding I am getting into a nice rhythm of rotating different foods to make sure I give my body what it needs. On Saturday I had the pleasant surprise of being under...

Myself and a colleague have just worked out that if you drink 8 pints of lager and have a channa dahl to eat plus a second meal of soft cheese with cucumber and tomatoes then you will have about 1800 calories, 114g carbs and 31g dietary fibre. Perhaps this is the way forward? :p

To start today 200g Heinz low sugar beans, 50g tomatoes, 50g cucumber and 50g Tesco soft cheese. Works out at approx 280 cals, 20g carbs and 8g dietary fibre. I wanted to get more fibre because I feel I have been a bit low in the last couple of days. A nicely balanced start I feel although the...

For fibre try a dish with lentils like channa Dahl

Haven't read all of this but the best way to cook veg is to stir fry. I add some fajita mix then melt cheese over after. Lovely. Normally veg adds a bit of fibre. For that I would suggest the humble lentil. 100g gives you something like 30g of fibre which is the recommended daily amount. Try...

Now that sounds great. Raspberries and cream is a great brekkie and a nice sirloin steak for dinner. I have to be honest and say that I have never heard of celeriac until I ventured on to this forum and would not know one if it whacked me in the eye. However, I may have to check it out. I have...

All changed now B & L stay the same. D: 200g roast beef + 50g Carrots + 50g broccoli + 50g sweetcorn S: 1 banana + 100g Greek style yogurt All tots up to 700ish on the cals front. 100 above target but I can live with that.

Raspberries are becoming my king of fruits. In fact I could be going to The Priory for an addiction to the little red menaces soon. Don't do broccoli/mushrroms/courgettes in salad stick 'em in the pan with the fajita chicken. Lush! In fact remove the chicken, do loads of veg and melt cheese over...

I'm glad you are going to give it a go on the small meals front. You end up thinking 'OMG! Is it time to eat again already!' I don't know what cals you are aiming at daily but with 2k being your average for a female then 1500 would be a good daily limit. that is five 300 meals a day. My 50g...

Hi Debrasue Reading no low calories days again means that my littluns coming to your house and destroying your food cupboard draws closer :D. Have you tried lunches such as fajita chicken with a decent salad (put olive oil and black pepper on). I find this quite satisfying and it is not high...

Today I am on: B: Fizzy water - 20 cals less than 0.5g carbs L: Fizzy water - 20 cals plus less than 0.5g carbs D: Channa Dahl - 450 cals I think and 50ish carbs S: Not yet decided but will have to be 150 cals tops YES TODAY IS 600 CALS DAY AND YES I AM GRUMPY!:mad:

Hi. I will start by saying that I am fairly new to the forum and have not been diagnosed as diabetic. However, I came so mightily close (1st HBaC1 reading of 51 and the second at 47) that I am acting as though I was diagnosed. I have used info from this forum and learnt to read very carefully...

Have to say that - take away the potatoes - and my old nan's meat and two veg diet wasn't so far wrong!

Love the pictures. Today for me. B: 50g tomatoes with 75g of Tesco Soft cheese followed this up with 1 apple on my way to work L: 350g (approx.) chicken fried in spices with 75g (approx.)cheese melted over D: 300g gammon with 50g peas and 50g carrots followed by two plums Drinks: 3 teas plus...

I should be careful what I post, as I have now promised my two little ones over the Internet :)

Hope you got the calorie count down, debrasue. I was fairly appalling the last 2 days and went over 2,000 cals. Today I simply switched to the 5:2 diet and have kept it to around 590 so far by eating nothing all day and having fahita chicken/mushrooms/onion with cheese melted over it followed...
