ok another post made me think, i appologise if its stupid but it wont be my first stupid post and im afraid it wont be my last

i think we should all remember this next time we look at a naughty treat,
im on a diet.... im hungry......

a} i could eat this ginger nut biscuit or a low fat yogurt..... or
b} i could buy 20 big joints of various meats 6 turkeys 4 chickens and a guiney foul, roast them, spread them out on the table and stuff myself stupid....

hmmm which a} or b} will make me less hungry and not put my blood glucose up?

although tongue in cheek, this in my opinion is low carbing in a nutshell, if you eat the biscuit how long after eating it would you be hungry? im guessing immediately, but for the same amount of carbs you can eat a big plate of food and be satisfied for hours, thats why it works

:)
 
The meat would cost considerably more than the ginger biscuit, but your right on which would fill you up the more:)
 
But andy, I would know how much insulin and when to inject for the biscuit, that much protein id be injecting guess amounts every couple of hours lol

I low carb inbetween meals alot though. Protein a very good snack between meals and supper, without impacting too much on levels :)
