[QUOTE="Dougie22, post: 1024998, member: 34509"] At one stage, when I wasn't keeping a food diary, I did try a system that worked for me. In my normal diary, I just classed each day as being green, amber or red. Green meant broadly maintaining healthy eating (in my case, around 1800 calories with moderate carbs), amber meant I'd slipped up was still within sight of my goals and red meant I'd been binging and lost control pretty badly. I found I lost weight if I was mostly green. Amber didn't do much damage, but I gained weight if I had a string of reds. Unfortunately, I had too many reds and gave up. At this point, I wasn't taking BG readings. I'm guessing one red day a week would be tolerable if the rest were green or maybe even green/amber. Your last point is so correct. I don't think I'd have continued so long off course if I'd taken a proper BG reading, say, once a week because I would have seen it rising. [/QUOTE]
