[QUOTE="hallii, post: 335192, member: 30624"] Hello Paul, you cannot afford to eat any significant amounts of sugar, by significant I mean refined sugar in any form, no sugar in tea no sugar in anything. Sugars in some fruits are OK for some of us. Many of the foods you mention, boiled potatoes, sultanas, porridge, toast (bread),ravioli, and of course biscuits chocolate and so on cannot be consumed by most of us except in small quantities. As regards what you can eat I have no idea, I just know that you will have problems if you eat the things I mention. I am afraid there is no easy answer to hunger, only that we have to learn to control it, there are snacks that we can eat like nuts, cheese, greek yoghurt and berries, raw carrots, in fact any raw vegetables, high protein like meat, or if veggie like me the alternatives. If you stick with such a diet for some months you will find that your craving for carbs will ease, you hunger will subside to managable levels and your general health will improve. It's not easy but most of us have done it, and the rewards are lower BGs and avoiding the nasty complications. Before I was diagnosed I loved chocolates, chips, sweets, Oh! just about everything that was not good for me. The roadside Cafe was my second home. Now I simply cannot face eating such things, I might eat 12 chips on rare occasions but no sugar (I now find the sweet taste far to strong) only 3 new potatoes a day and bread that is home made to be low carbs. Hopefully you can see that it is largely a matter of mind over matter, you have to be determined and change your eating habits for life. As I said, it's not easy, but think about the alternatives. You don't have to rush, it will take time, maybe a month or three, it's better to change slowly and for good than try to do it all at once and fail. Do plenty of research, you will begin to understand a lot more about T2 if you do. Shortly another post will give you a long bit of reading, read it through, it is good advice. H [/QUOTE]
