[QUOTE="Scimama, post: 1087292, member: 110645"] For those new to low carbbing I would highly recommend testing your blood glucose levels before and after eating and snacking until you know which type and how many carbs your body can handle. Some items in the list I would consider high carb or can be if you don't check the labels. Stick with the mantra "eat to your meter" [COLOR=#0000ff]lentils[/COLOR] - a serving (3 tbspn) of lentils can be about 20g carbohydrates so take care on quality until you know how much you can manage without causing a BG spike [COLOR=#0000ff]Peas[/COLOR] - serving (3 tbspn) of peas can be about 10g carbohydrates [COLOR=#0000ff]Tomato paste[/COLOR] - check the label for amount of added sugar, some have an enormous amount in [COLOR=#0000ff]Peanut butter[/COLOR] - check the label for amount of added sugar, most supermarkets do sell sugar free versions [COLOR=#0000ff]Pork Scratchings[/COLOR] - some versions have extra flour coatings so aren't as low carb [COLOR=#0000ff]Ryvita[/COLOR]. [COLOR=#0000ff]Tuc crackers[/COLOR] - Ryvita and similar can be about 6g carbs per slice and TUCs about 3g per biscuit so need to have portion control [COLOR=#0000ff]Cornflour (great for thickening & making yorkkie puds etc)[/COLOR] – 25g of flour gives 20g of carb so I would suggest making very small yorkkies and testing the effect. [COLOR=#0000ff]Oatmeal[/COLOR] 16g of carb in 1/4cup of oatmeal, but some diabetics can tolerate it – test before and after [/QUOTE]
