Just a thought, if you are changing from a highly processed food diet, from my experience I found that my salt levels dropped too low, giving me leg cramps. I now add salt to my meals, but I think I am still below recommended levels. It would be as well to check other micronutrients such as potassium and magnesium.Hello - just returned home, all i can think of is food.
Many thanks all, you are all very helpful but please do not fall out on my behalf as we are all here for the same reason
I worked in the community with sick people and only too aware of what diabetes can do hence my actions and hoping to avoid diabetes.
I'm going to have a whiskey, one double and one single as i have just learnt that the lager/Phils I drink has carbs but whiskey does not.
Lots of help here and useful info and tomorrow I'm going to make notes re foods and look them up
Thank you all again and enjoy your weekend.

Nice tip about freezing the bread first.I think you should look for a better bread - I use a superseeded loaf that is lowish carb but which also provides me with fibre and the fortified vits. Hint: I freeze it first, then toast from frozen and this transforms the starch into reistant starch that lowers the sugar spikes. It is filling, and even my daughter who is very picky now prefers it to 'normal' bread I no longer buy white bread except when visitors are expected.
Pre-freezing breads eh? Worth a try I supposeNice tip about freezing the bread first.
Incidental my Mrs works at a company that supplies Lidl and Iceland with ready made meals.
A little research on Resistive Starch should show articles for not just bread, but rice, potato and other starchy food. If low carbing then it is a set of neat tools to know about. It all helpsPre-freezing breads eh? Worth a try I suppose
Pre freezing bread and keeping in the freezer also stops me from indulging in a sandwich when looking for a quick snack. Also having two slices of toast from frozen for breakfast and giving crusts to the dog helps!A little research on Resistive Starch should show articles for not just bread, but rice, potato and other starchy food.

Re banans, I will start having a smaller one from today.
Re bacon, love it espeically the smell but too much salt and new that its bad for you put me off but i still eat susages once a week
ripe ones are the worst, so choose greener ones over black. Most tropical fruits are a poor choice for low carbers.Bananas are one of the worst fruits for diabetics, thay are very high carb. Better to stay with berries only as they are much lower in sugar.
