[QUOTE="viviennem, post: 189661, member: 31282"] There most certainly are alternatives, and my diet doesn't suit everyone, but if I ate Sid's breakfast I too would "surely starve" - probably by lunch-time :lol: I have a 2-egg omelette for breakfast every day, and don't have any need to eat until about 13:30 - even if I go out for a coffee and my friends are scoffing home-made cakes all round me :shock: Everyone is different - occasionally I eat a granola breakfast cereal designed to have a low Glycaemic Load - which means it affects your blood sugar slowly and gently - called 'Lizi's' - available at some supermarkets. A 50g serving plus semi-skimmed milk contains about 26g carbohydrate. If you're not a very low carber like me (I aim for less than 50g in the whole day) that might be quite acceptable. It's all to do with reading labels, which I didn't make clear on my original post. Eg, if I'm in a hurry and grabbing a ready meal, I go for the ones in the 5 - 10g carb per 100g range. Have a look at the 'how much carbohydrate do you eat?' thread and you'll get some idea of what other people eat in a day. Many people cope very well on more carb than I eat. If you do try my version of Atkins - as you eat more carbs you should cut down your fat intake. Carbs + fat = weight gain, in my case! But as Sid says - test, test test, particularly in these early days. It's the only way you'll find out what affects you, and if you do that you'll soon learn what to avoid, and what you have to reserve for special treats. Diabetes is not the end of the world, and we're all here to help. I'm lucky, in that I don't have blurry vision problems, but I'm sure someone else will be along soon who understands more about it. Good luck with your weight loss! I have so much to lose I daredn't set a target, except for half-a-stone at a time! :roll: Viv 8) [/QUOTE]
