[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2353343, member: 511345"] I agree with [USER=368709]@Goonergal[/USER] that I think it is too many carbs. Are you a diabetic? If so are you on any mediation to lower your blood sugars? I am a type 2 and eat less than 20 grams of carbs a day- often less than 10 grams. What I find is that the more carbs I eat the more hungry I get. It can be a bit tricky over the holiday period and also if you have to eat out but when preparing your own food I would suggest trying very low carb for a couple of days- don't worry about how much food you are eating just the amount of carbs and see what happens to your levels. I find it easier to stick to food that is very low carb- so bacon and eggs, fish- I like smoked salmon with cream cheese and also crispy skin salmon, meat- most meat has no or very low carbs but be careful of prepared meals, Cheese. You can have bacon and eggs for breakfast or omelette- just be careful what you add- if you want veggies- I have cauliflower mash (with cheese and maybe a little spring onion) Good luck but if you are on any mediation you will need to be careful to lower your carbs more gradually- so if you are mediation let us know and people here can give other suggestions.
