Food Confusion


Good morning RYU... Check out the threads on this site, there is one for newbies.... 'Low Carb Recipes' and 'What Did You Eat Today' and 'What Was Your BG This Morning'... or words to that effect... A lot of the people on DBUK low-carb-high-fat and have stopped all medication... I never took it in the first place and a year later my blood glucose is tightly controlled still... You know that rice turns to sugar when you eat it? As do potatoes, anything made with flour, etc? Sorry if you've already been deluged with advice and tips I don't have time to read everything this morning... good luck... Susi
 
Hi RYU, you are so blessed to have a girlfriend that is so keen to work at keeping you well. I am T2, diet controlled and I use riced cauliflower instead of rice and spiralised courgettes instead of spaghetti and sweet potato or celeriac instead of potato. Usually I find these as tasty as what they are replacing. I also found the info from the diabetic nurse limited and not very helpful. My diabetes control developed over time and through reading up on different options to find what worked best for me. Your girlfriends support is the greatest asset you have. M
 
I can handle 3 tablespoons of brown rice as long as it's been precooked & cooled then reheated and the same with a small portion f wholemeal pasta given the same treatment . You will probably get some recommendations for Lidl high protein rolls - personally I thought they were horrid & would rather go without bread - but other seem to like them
 
Authority Nutrition, they have a page '15 bread recipes that are low carb and gluten free'
That looks interesting. I see they recommend Ezekiel 4:9 bread, named after a verse in the bible. I got sidetracked by that in US supermarkets earlier this year. Wacky or what?

Yeah I've heard from American friends that that bread tastes awful, lol. It's amazing how much money there is to be made by associating your product with the Bible in 'Murica
 
Hi I wonder if you could add the link for the almond and flaxseed bread please....would love to give it a try.....
