Plus half a plate of veg such as cabbage, cauliflower, sprouts, leeks, mushrooms, peppers, green beans and 1/8 plate swede, carrot, sweet potato. He only occasionally has brown rice or new potatoes. Basically fill your plate with veg and watch portions by weighing everything. No alcohol.He has been T2 diabetic for 20 years and started this diet in January 2019. He has lost 3-4 stones in weight and his GP has taken him off some medication and reduced others as his blood sugars reduced. Until this eating pattern was established he used MyNetDiary to count calories. There are others but this one gives a breakdown of fat, protein and carbs.
