Message: <blockquote data-quote="DianaMC" data-source="post: 1994212" data-attributes="member: 488381">Thanks [USER=355878]@Resurgam[/USER] I totally get the point re breaded/battered “100%” fish, etc! Here’s a thing; I’m currently following the guidelines in the NHS course aimed at prediabetics reversing the diabetes direction. So (I know it’s not very popular here!..but...) I’ve been advised to swap refined carbs for whole food versions - and a few other things. To be honest, I think it’s working for me because I’ve lost weight and my measure on the HBA1C has dropped a bit. But I’ve had (or chosen) to make some interim changes, rather than go a complete ‘cold turkey’ approach (no pun intended!) That’s because I tend to have strong reactions to changes and it seems to work better if I wean myself away from something for a while.So I agree, tortilla chips are far from ideal. But, in the grand scheme, four of those (tortilla chips, not whole bags!) in place of a bag of baked crisps is probably progress... That said, I bought two big bags of plain tortilla chips at Christmas - as a treat. My husbands eaten most of one, and I’ve ignored the other (forgot it was in the cupboard). So maybe I’ve weaned myself away from those too, now, without realising <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Is your 11% limit for carb intake, per day, or per 100g of product?I roughly understand the basics of the low carb and Keto approaches - but have not yet decided if that way is right for me, as a long term strategy. Partly that’s because I’ve been told I may have adrenal fatigue - and I think I’ve heard that high protein dietary approaches may put more strain on the kidneys.But I’m quite envying those (of you) who are doing well with those types of approaches! Long may they be of benefit.  And I’ll keep listening to stories of the low carb, Keto and high protein approaches working, as I might be clear of kidney concerns, over time and could risk them myself.Thanks for sharing your experiences.</blockquote>
