[QUOTE="4ratbags, post: 973530, member: 102832"] [USER=212239]@Magsx1[/USER] you're diet seems pretty good. My only concern would be how well does your body tolerate the porridge and the fruit salad but other than that you seem to be on the right track. Also do you have any snacks during the day and do you find you get any sweet cravings ect as this was originally my downfall. I actually lost most of my weight eating to the so called healthy plate but when I was diagnosed I was so sick that I found I couldn't stand the smell of normal food, it just made me sick so I'm guessing that was a help.

Trying to keep yourself on track is the biggest battle especially if others in the house don't eat the same as you do. I only weigh myself once a week on the same day as soon as I wake up as you can have so many fluctuations over a day so I would try not to stress too much about it. In a usual day I would typically have a coffee with cream as soon as I wake up (essential, gotta have my caffeine) Breakfast I will have a two egg omelette with a bit of bacon, broccoli and onion and cream Snacks I will have a few peanuts Lunch I have started to have a bit of chicken and some veges or I will have some LC baking and a coffee Dinner is broccoli and cauliflower with a creamy sauce and some type of meat I put out over 700 papers two times a week so I walk quite briskly and I have found if I stop periodically and have a small snack of peanuts that my BS stays fine. I had an incidence about a month ago when I didn't have many peanuts with me and I didn't eat breakfast and I actually ended up collapsing on someones doorstep so I learnt my lesson there so I always make sure to eat breakfast before I leave the house and if I am walking make sure to have a small snack every hour. If you are finding that you are going hypo quite often it may be a sign that you may be able to come off your Metformin as this was the reason I stopped my meds but this should be discussed with your GP first.
