[QUOTE="dipsydo, post: 1466442, member: 371312"] It is all a bit of trial and error a once you work out what spikes you will be able to try and avoid as you will find everyone is different as regards how they react to food. As regards weighing things I find a rule of thumb works for me ( and avoids me getting out the scales) is no grains, rice, pasta, unlimited above ground vegetables ( some people find peas a bit difficult) one portion of protein ( say equivalent of chicken breast size of meat,or chunk of cheese ( max double thumb size), or couple of eggs ( if you vegetarian there are details on the forum which gives you the vegetarian options ) for cooking/ sauces olive, butter, cream , mayonnaise and never no or low fat options . Fruit only berries. For snacks olives, pork crackling, very small piece of cheese or handful nuts.If you are chocoholic 2 squares of very dark chocolate 85% or above I try and ensure drinking couple of litres a day , no milk.I find that diet drinks make me crave sugar so avoid Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
