[QUOTE="lovinglife, post: 140181, member: 22428"] Hi DEB, Not everyone here is anti carb - lots of us eat carbs, including myself - but as it says in the great info that Sue posted carbs turn to 100% glucose so all of us are careful with our carbs. I eat between 100 - 130g a day - about 30 at breakfast and lunch and a bit more at dinner. Testing what foods do to you is the best way forward - different people tolerate different foods. As for breakfast try to stop thinking of meals by their name and call them meal 1 2 3 - (I know it sounds daft but it works!) - just because it's 7 am doesn't mean we have to eat "breakfast stuff" I have berries with 0% greek yogourt, try making a frittata from eggs and mushrooms etc and taking a slice of that - it's great cold, make a dip from anything you like (I make one from wizzed up roasted peppers onions & mushrooms) and take things like celery sticks, carrot sticks etc If you want to have more carbs than that try the burgen linseed bread - I have 2 slices of that and a hard boiled egg or cold meats - you can get half fat cheese that isn't so bad these days although I just have ordinary cheese - just not great chunks of it I also have rivitas - I can eat about 3 without it affecting my BS - Like we always say testing is the key - you may be able to eat more than me :) Losing weight is never easy and I had loads to lose this time last year (still a fair way to go!)- all I did was reduce my carbs and ate low GI stuff - still eat cheese butter and fry with olive oil - I have lost 61/2 stone in 12 months so you never know - my intention wasn't to lose weight but get my BS down then tackle the weight - but it all happened together - keeping your carbs down a bit may be the way to go - good luck :) It is a big learning curve but you will get there Sorry thought Sue had posted the info for you in this thread - read Sues post in the link below - it great info and is very helpful to both newbies and those who are struggling [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/Diabetes-Forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=15298]viewtopic.php?f=20&t=15298[/url] [/QUOTE]
