[QUOTE="lovinglife, post: 2013369, member: 22428"] I wouldn't have eaten the aero bar - it was almost half of your carbs for the day, everything else doesn't look too bad and your numbers seem ok - I think if you'd tested at 30 minutes and 1 hour after your aero bar you would have been shocked at how high your numbers were There are loads of much better ways to get your chocolate hit - try a couple of squares of high percentage chocolate- if you need to wean yourself off the sweetness of milk chocolate start at 2 squares of 70% - then built up to the higher ones. Make a mousse with some whipped cream, a square or two of high% chocolate and sweetener if you need it. There are recipes for low carb chocolate cakes all over the internet :) I agree you have to find you're own way that works for you long term and doesn't make you miserable but eating chocolate bars full of sugar isn't really the way to go [/QUOTE]
