[QUOTE="DeejayR, post: 997439, member: 126679"] Hello. I started with the GI chart and at first found quite useful, but then I found that eating fewer carbs is the way to go for me, which isn't quite the same thing. Your nutritionist isn't far off the mark imho, but errs by omission. I use a book called Carbs and Cals, which tells me what I can eat and what I should avoid or eat sparingly. Cheese is good and I don't know any variety to beware of. If you search "popcorn" on here you will find one or two recommended brands. Full fat milk is better than skim, but cream and double cream are even better. Check out the carb content on the different cartons. Many people here don't have any cows' milk, even in tea & coffee. I've just bought some coconut milk, which seems like a good way of charging £1.50 for water with a bit of coconut cream :facepalm: It's true we sometimes try to slow down carb conversion to glucose by eating fat with it but keeping the carbs low is more important! Underpinning all this is the belief that fat doesn't make you fat and it won't affect your cholesterol level. [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] has some info for you so I'm tagging her. Lots to read so you can ask more questions. [/QUOTE]
