[QUOTE="1spuds, post: 2058119, member: 505458"] Cut these carbs first,cut them completely out for starters.No potatoes,rice,starches.No breads.No grains.No cereal.No wheat products.No added sugar.No processed carbs.No pasta. If you can cook all your meals,thats good,processed foods are generally loaded with carbs and sugars.Replace carbs with fats and protiens.Low carb veggies,there are a lot you can eat unlimited amounts of.You can eat pork rinds (scratchings) as a snack and it wont bother glucose a bit. Remember,carbs ARE sugars.We dont need sugars as a type 2.When you radically decrease the carbs you eat,you replace them with fats and proteins.Dont fear fats,a low carb/high fat diet is good for most t2 diabetics.And fats arent going to give you a heart attack either,that is bunk.Or make you gain weight,many here choose to lose weight on the low carb/high fat diet (LCHF) You dont even have to count calories,just watch the total carbs and thats it.Pretty easy,just dump the heavy carbs first.Then practice portion control,you know what a little and what a lot of food is,tweak to your weight goals So first step,cut the heavy carb foods and processed carbs like flour,cereal.That is a good start.A simplistic start but a start,have to start somewhere.How many times can I say start in a sentence? 3 apparently. :rolleyes: Then start reading the threads like 'What I ate today,and my glucose numbers' You can see the diet they are doing and how it has helped them.Eat the lower carb veggies,skip the higher carbed ones.You can look those up. Im assuming you dont have a meter? You need to get one,test first thing in AM before eating,thats your fasting blood glucose,then test before eating and 2 hours after,record diet and numbers in a journal.You will quickly see what foods you can eat,and what spikes your glucose up.Meter is very very important to actually see,real time,what is and isnt OK for you. thats a start,a step at a time.Later you can tweak it,but this will get you going. Folks,please correct or add to what Ive posted if I put any of that wrong,Thanks. Yet once again....Jason Fung talks obesity and diabetes,its a good overview of what we face and how to deal with it.....watch all six if you can,he keeps it simple for most of it.
