[QUOTE="pleinster, post: 1018467, member: 221545"] Hi - JayL's advice is pretty good..you do need to rethink diet but it can still be a good range of grub. I've been working with my diet and with reducing carbs over a while now and have worked out by use of my meter and the records I keep what works for em and what doesn't. While I'd agree with much of what has been said by JayL, and certainly regarding bread and cereal (I don't eat any now) I would encourage you to work things out for yourself rather than rely on the diets of others and on what is "allowed" and "not allowed"...we are all quite different and you should not not relax thinking a particular food is "allowed" and therefore good for you personally. For example, if I ate 40-60 grams of carb each meal..my sugar level would rocket..three times a day is way to much for a lot of us. I also find that yoghurt also sets me off...and as for grapefruit...that's good for you..if you are not on particular meds. I am on three different meds whereby grapefruit in particular is specified as an absolute no-no - so you need to know what you cannot or should not eat from a medical personal stand point. This is not a criticism of the advice you have been given at all - it's great people are so helpful and we are all learning, but be very aware that we all have differing systems and circumstance as and the only way to be sure is to work out what works for yourself while taking on board everything you can that is suggested. personally, and like many others on this site, I am now on under 50g of carbs a day..often less than 30g.

The end of the week is fine. :) Explore, record, take control. Paul [/QUOTE]
