Nothing and no one here suggested you are fat.Bro stop with this paradigm. I’m not fat, I don’t need to snack because I’m fat, i need to snack because I can’t gain weight and it’s unhealthy
Just seen you are allergic to nuts. So I’d still suggest snacking on cheese, dark chocolate is good, ant pre prepared meats…ham, pepperoni, etc.Ok a few issues here: I have a host of food intolerances which is gonna make this very tricky so bear with me. I'm not picking your suggestions apart and I'm not attacking you personally, I simply have food allergies, ok?
Food allergies: Nuts so that tanks most of my options here, gluten (so no wheat bran) I've also read that seeds and seed oils are bad because they leach nutrients from the gut so I would prefer to avoid them.
Is there a danger of eating too much fat? I don't mind eating pure coconut oil for example I'm just worried I might do damage to my arteries or something.
Today I bought some chicken that was on sale, cauliflower and cheese. I was gonna get bacon but all the ones I checked had sugar in the ingredients even tho the nutrition info said 0% sugar so it's sneaky.
What about dark chocolate? 90% or more?
Thanks.
Alrighty.Just seen you are allergic to nuts. So I’d still suggest snacking on cheese, dark chocolate is good, ant pre prepared meats…ham, pepperoni, etc.
An hba1c of 6% (or 42 mmol/l in the units used in the UK) is exactly on the cut-off between non diabetic at all and prediabes, according to UK guidelines.Doc said blood glucose was 6% and it was that hab1c whichever it’s called
This is fantastic. I do hope so. Which are the biuggest carbs? Probably the after work snickers?An hba1c of 6% (or 42 mmol/l in the units used in the UK) is exactly on the cut-off between non diabetic at all and prediabes, according to UK guidelines.
You may find you'll drop back into completely non diabetic territory even with only some small adjustments to your diet: upping the fats a little for satiety and to make sure not to lose weight, and dropping the biggest carbs just a bit.
That should be an easy one to cut out, otherwise it completely depends on what you eat and drink during the day.Which are the biuggest carbs? Probably the after work snickers?
Your eggs are too fresh.That should be an easy one to cut out, otherwise it completely depends on what you eat and drink during the day.
From your posts it's clear you'd prefer making smaller changes than going all out, and with your numbers this doesn't seem unreasonable at all.
So what about substituting some things but not so many that it makes you feel angry with it and see where it leads you with your next blood test?
Oh, and I have fresh eggs from chickens/ducks/turkeys in the garden that absolutely refuse to be peeled, no matter what tricks I use. So I simply cut them with a knife, hard or soft boiled and use a spoon. But there's no need to eat eggs, you can eat a pork chop, a chicken leg or a can of tuna with mayo just as well.
Nope, not even after some 5 weeks, although the turkey eggs seem to go a little better.Your eggs are too fresh.
Let them stand for a few days and they'll be easier to get out of the shells.
What works for me is this: Leave eggs in cold water until they are still barely warm. Then roll them on the counter to crack the shell. With a small spoon, find an entry point in the shell, and move the spoon around and the shell should come off. I got that off Google, so chances are you did too.Yeah I’ve tried every trick in google. Eggs don’t work for me
I'd quit the Snickers as they contain nuts which can cause a severe reaction for those truly allergic to nuts.Ok a few issues here: I have a host of food intolerances which is gonna make this very tricky so bear with me.

How often do I need to be taking blood tests for this now? Also I'd actually prefer to go all out. Not sure where you got the idea otherwise. I'm not married to any foods, my only hesitancy is last time I did keto I felt like I was dying and still believe despite what yall say that it would have killed me. My symptoms were worse than the normal keto flu symptoms.That should be an easy one to cut out, otherwise it completely depends on what you eat and drink during the day.

That's what I've been doing for 10+ years. Now with this diabetes thing, there's even less I can eat. I'm down to: oils. I can eat oils.Don't think there's a type of food that hasn't had a negative review at some time or other. Think you've just got to 'choose your poison'. Choosing carb heavy foods such as Snickers is more detrimental to a diabetic challenged person than a lump of cheese ever could.
Once you've found a source of food that you trust, you'll soon build a menu that you're comfortable with, you'll have less anxiety around food and be able to kick back against diabetes. It looks like it's going to be a challenge to get there, but you will. Just be positive and don't slide into a pity-me, negative frame of mind. You've got a chance to nip this disease in the bud, don't let negative thoughts ruin it for you.
I'm not deathly allergic, they just affect me badly in large amounts. But it's a moot point since I can't eat carbs anyhow. No more snickersI'd quit the Snickers as they contain nuts which can cause a severe reaction for those truly allergic to nuts.
Bro stop with this paradigm. I’m not fat, I don’t need to snack because I’m fat, i need to snack because I can’t gain weight and it’s unhealthy
You don't need to tell me, I been trying since 2012. I have food intolerances, what can I do?It is quite hard to get enough fats/ traditional oils to help you gain weight unless you can either eat A). High fat nuts (like macadamia, brazil, walnut), B). hard cheese, cottage cheese, full fat plain yogurt, butter C). Avocado or olives (or some other fatty low/medium carb fruit/veg), D). Fatty cuts of meat (bacon, pork belly, beef, lamb, turkey with skin or chicken with skin - they are both too lean unless you eat the skin, fatty salami or ham etc.
What leads you to think that not gaining weight is unhealthy? Some people are always going to be thin, unless they get fat. They are ectomorphs. It sounds like you are one of them. I envy you - you are built for hill walking, which I love and which I am not.
However, with an HbA1c of 6% - 42 mmol/mol - you are also on the verge (in UK terms) of being pre-diabetic. Some countries use different criteria which would make you diabetic.
Sugary snacking will lead to you putting fat on, not gaining weight in a healthy way, and will make do your prediabetes no good at all.
