[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2483264, member: 480869"] I’m sorry but whilst the steroids will be making things worse your old preferred diet is the real problem. It’s great that your meter is helping you identify this. It’s incredibly hard to unlearn all we’ve been taught about carbs, fats and slow carbs especially. For instance carbs cause cholesterol issues far more than fats do in reality and to be honest the blood glucose is the far more immediate problem. Many of us find that cutting the carbs and getting blood glucose under control also solves the cholesterol issues. Are you on statins? These also increase blood glucose and can cause diabetes. Many of us refuse to take them for this and other reasons. (Alzheimer’s like or muscle pain symptoms anyone?). More fats/proteins will help stall weight loss and protect muscle. no one is saying you have to go keto, not everyone needs to, but for you it’s obviously going to be a step at a time process. All I’d say is don’t prejudge now where you might end up. Once you can break the carb addiction cycle many people are amazed at new preferences in foods. You taste the sweetness in a pepper for example, you crave proteins, you find sugar repellant, you aren’t hungry all the time. All things that once seemed impossible. Other ideas for breakfast are eggs cooked anyway (if you burn them today cook them less/turn the heat down tomorrow), cold meats and cheeses continental style, last nights left overs (who says what food should be for breakfast ? Mostly mr Kellogg and his profits!), fish (even stuff out of a tin like sardines or mackerel. There are very simple recipes for a granola based on seeds and nuts (just mix up whatever you can get with cinnamon and coconut flakes and add to Greek yoghurt for some crunch). Can you chuck a chicken/gammon/joint in a tray in the oven? Literally unwrap it, turn the heating appliance on for the stated time and wait. Meals for days if you have a small appetite. Add vegetables the first day, salad the second and mix it with a packet of stir fry veg the third. Have dinner left overs for lunch the next day. Freeze portions for another time.
