[QUOTE="lrw60, post: 391431, member: 64443"] It does seem like a lot of food, I do eat well and manage to maintain my weight plus or minus a few pounds. I tried cutting down on the porridge by halving the amount and having 30g of ground assorted nuts with it. This also meant using half the amount of milk and very little sweetner. I might have to go back to half and half if I feel I need more control over the diabetes. But Iv'e said it before and I repeat it here, I lost 5 1/2 stones and my diabetes (not cured) by eating the way I did. 200g of carbs at least per day. Today I bought some full fat Greek yoghurt. I will try some tomorrow with some ground almond if needed for taste. I am interested in your comments about calories. Shouldn't I be concerned about not getting enough cals per day? Pardon my ignorance here, I really don't know how important, or not, calories are. Protein and fat I can understand, just! My difficulty is as I said, I lost my diabetes by eating 25 to 30% more carbs than I do now. If I maintain my weight, how important is it for me to keep reducing carbs? I feel no diabetic effects from eating the way I do, my last HbA1c on 24.5.2013 was 37. I don't know how that compares to someone who is not diabetic. [/QUOTE]
