[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1693061, member: 355878"] That is rather strange advice - cutting right down from normal amounts, but you can still have some sugar. You will need to add salt if you are eating a lot of unprocessed foods, though not huge amounts. In warm weather you can get cramps due to too little salt. Saturated fat is fine as far as I can work out - my test results seem ideal. Fizzy drinks containing small amounts of fruit juice or sweetened with artificial sweeteners seem fine, though not to excess as they maintain a 'sweet tooth'. Blueberries are twice as sweet as many berries, so should be avoided. Tinned food is fine as long as it is low carb. Cut any cereal for breakfast for the rest of your life if it spikes your BG. Beer is not really OK as it is so high carb, but if you walk to the pub and back again then it might be OK - check BG levels. [/QUOTE]
