[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 189644, member: 19121"] Hi Webboy and welcome to the forum. I agree with a lot of Vivs views but I do not follow the advice she gives below, if I did I would surely starve :wink: I dont care how many carbs per 100g its the amount of carbs I eat that matters to me. Heres an example. Breakfast this morning I had 20g of cornflakes with around 80ml of semi skimmed milk. A total carb count of just over 20g. 16.8g for the cornflakes and 3.8g for the milk. Now cornflakes come in at 84g per 100g but as I said that doesn't interest me its the amount that I eat that matters, by testing my blood glucose before and 2 hours after eating the above breakfast I know that I can tolerate this breakfast and my bg will have returned to near pre meal levels after 2 hours. So rather than deny myself so many food stuffs I just test, test, test and test again until I find out what amount of every food type I can safely eat and stay within the NICE recommendations. I would stress however that what I can eat and what you can eat will probably not be the same so if you follow this route you would need to test, test, and test again until you find your own limits. IMHO only by lots of bg testing can you find out what you can eat, that testing doesn't have to last forever either as once you know your limits you need only test occasionally to ensure all is OK. Viv's very low carb diet will and does work but as with most things in life there are alternatives [img]http://www.acecreative.co.uk/sids/gifs/thumbsup.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
