[QUOTE="viviennem, post: 224560, member: 31282"] Hi Spendercat Atkins recommends eating at least 3 times a day and as many as 5 small meals if it suits you better. I think it's best to even things out really - having said that, I don't eat carbs until lunchtime (large salad), and probably do eat marginally more at supper. If your BG is as good as you say, I would think you're doing right for you. Do you still test before and after every meal? If not, it might be worth doing a couple of days' full testing, just to check what's going on. Re weight loss - if you don't have a great deal to lose, 2lbs a month may well be about right. Short of joining the 'Newcastle Diet' guineapigs, I don't really see what else you can do! :D And it doesn't sound as if you need to go to such an extreme. :wink: I would [i]kill[/i] for a BMI of 28. Maybe one day . . . :lol: Viv 8) [/QUOTE]
