Hi all,

I am currently attempting the Special K diet as I am desperate to lose weight, but it is leaving me feeling hungry and hypoing :(

Anyone got any tips on healthy low carb snacks as well as healthy hypo treatments?

I just want to get back to the weight I was in my last year at school!

I am 19 years old btw and a pump user
:thumbup:
 
If you correctly match the carbs to the cereal you shouldn't hypo.

Try fruit juice as a hypo treatment if you don't want sweets/coke etc

You could try snacking on fruit or berries. 60g blueberries is 9g carb. I sometimes have them to pick at when I'm at my desk :) other fruit requires insulin, but it is a healthy alternative to other snack options

Cheese is basically no carb. Or a few nuts but not too many!
 
Thank you! I guess I must be miscalculating somewhere! And what type of cheese as I thought they was fatty? :)
 
It is bit it's better fat than some other fat. Just don't have too much of it. It's filling though. And you get low calorie ones now too
 
Oh that's good then I shall have a look out then :) thank you for your help
 
Hi. Nuts are good and I agree your insulin may need reducing a bit to avoid hypos with lower carbs. Don't worry too much about fats; there is a lot of discussion currently in the media about the origins of the 'low-fat' fashion and the fact that it was based on bad data. Just keep the fats unsaturated where you can e.g. fish, omega 3 etc.
