[QUOTE="Trina_P, post: 756037, member: 122316"] Hi everyone, This is my first post as I was only diagnosed in July with Type 1. I've learnt so much from these forums and figure you guys know more about what diet is better for my glucose levels long term than any doctor or dietician who isn't living with it and monitoring it every single day. I keep seeing articles and posts everywhere about LCHF but I'm trying to find some general guidelines as to what that consists of. I've been trying (and failing) to stick to 100g a day (I am a carb addict!) but then how many grams of fat, protein, and ultimately saturated fat (I want to lose about a stone). Breakfast is the toughest meal too. Managed to get it to about 30g by adding 2 eggs to my porridge (sounds gross but with a generous helping of cinnamon and sweetener it's delicious) but I'm worried 14 eggs in a week is bound to have an effect on my cholesterol. Such a shame because the eggs really keep me full. Any suggestions and advice would be a major help as I feel I'm feeling my through through the darkness at the minute! Also as I mentioned I'm a huge carb fan, so if you could suggest a way I could wean myself off them in the beginning that'd also be fab! Thank you! [/QUOTE]
