[QUOTE="tigerlily72, post: 948855, member: 38433"] [SIZE=4]Thanks for all the helpful advice. From what I understand I should low carb and reduce my intake avoiding things like white bread, rice, pasta, wheat etc. I will probably eat stoneground or wholemeal bread, rice and pasta occasionally. I understand I shouldn't eat veg that grows below ground. I know potatoes are bad unless they're new potatoes? No more mash or jacket spuds then :( I have adopted the main principles of the GI diet in the past and have a couple of books by Rick Gallop. Unfortunately I didn't stick them for too long. I know I have to be careful what fruit I eat, as for a diabetic not all fruit is good. I've started with my diet changes already. Drinking water at work and haven't eaten any bread since yesterday and I LOVE freshly buttered toast! My evening meal yesterday was mackerel fillets with a steamed veggies (yellow pepper, whole courgette, mushrooms and a few cherry tomatoes). Today I had a pre packed salad for work with a tin of mackerel in brine and a greek yoghurt (way better than my usual sandwich, crisps, yoghurt and often a chocolate bar). I don't actually feel hungry at the moment but find I'm almost constantly thinking about food!!! ;)[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
