[QUOTE="zand, post: 655061, member: 85197"] Hi and welcome!:) Many on here successfully manage their BG with the low carb high fat diet (LCHF, see [URL='http://www.dietdoctor.com/lchf']www.dietdoctor.com/lchf[/URL]). So you can eat meat, fish, salads, above-ground vegetables, avocados, olive oil, butter etc. If you reduce carbs you lose the calories that came with them, so these need to be replaced from other food groups such as protein and fat. The ‘high fat’ bit bothers some people, but all it means is you can freely eat more fat to offset the carb calories – and you don’t feel so hungry all the time either (carbs are addictive). Avoid most ‘low fat’ products as these usually have added sugar or are man made artificial products – go for full fat milk, cream, butter, Greek yoghurt etc. Reducing carbs (and the calories that go with them) is, together with any exercise you can manage, also a good way to lose weight. Offset the carb calories with protein and fat calories in order to get the right balance for your personal situation. Don't forget to ask any questions you like.:) [/QUOTE]
