[QUOTE="Raerose, post: 2116509, member: 512865"] Thanks for your replies. I shall check out the forum sections you recommended. Luckily my baby isn't a newborn so I'm OK with the cooking aspect, I've always made meals from scratch. I'll probably stop in a couple of months when I return to work. I couldn't think how to explain the green list in a better way without my message being too long initially! I cant link the list either as it appears to be from a subscribed website I cant access. It's like a traffic light system where the "red list " has your obvious foods to avoid like potatoes, bread, icecream etc and an amber list of inbetween foods. So the green list has veg up and fruit up to 5g carb/100g. Meat, cheese, cream, whole milk (and similar items), nuts up to 8g/100g few basics like tinned fish, herbs and spices. It excludes processed meat like bacon, cured meats and mayo, nut butters, sugar free drinks so presumably that's for other reasons other than carb content. She also recommended intermittent fasting so with only having 2 meals a day I'm not having 50g carb in that at all. I think I'll try to increase carbs a little until I stop breastfeeding. I am also monitoring my blood sugars which have been between 4-5 before meals and only up to 5.6 after meals too. [/QUOTE]
