[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2327826, member: 511345"] Hello again, I am going to respectfully disagree with Diabeticzoe. about frequent meals and small portions. In my view the first priority is to lower your blood sugars. A very low arb diet means I have lost over 30kgs without counting calories. You need to eat enough so that you are satisfied- this is not a diet it is the rest of your life. You need to test to determine the amount of carbs your body can tolerate. For me that doesn't look like a 'balanced ' diet but a very low carb way of eating- usually less than 10 or 20 grams a day. I can't remember the last time I ate over 20 grams in a day. I also eat at most 2 meals a day- that is enough to satisfy me. I eat until I am satisfied-cheese, cream, pork crackling, bacon, eggs, fish- the list of very low carb food is long. I also found that while I have now upped my exercise I started with very little- plantar fasciitis and still lost weight without counting. calories and always eating enough so I wasn't hungry.Google keto with the food you are thinking of- there are a surprising number of options. Good luck and remember- trust your meter more than us on the internet. [/QUOTE]
