@daddys1 great minds think alike..Have a look at the carbs on the Oatbix thats not the sugars it what it says are the carbs is, I would imagine it's very high and the milk will also be high. What lots have on here is full fat Greek yogurt with berries & I have some Flaxseed 2 teaspoons sprinkled on. Or eggs and Bacon mushrooms, or an Omelette or scrambled eggs or poached eggs. The banana will be no good for you
For me & I believe most on here will have to have either Hovis Seed Sensations 13g carbs per slice only 1 slice at a meal time, or Burgen Soya & Linseed 12g carbs per slice all the others are in the 18 & 20's per slice.
The meat and veg is ok but the veg's should be from above the ground some root veg's have a lot of carbs including the potatoes. I only manage 1/2 a jacket maybe once week with lots of butter & cheese.
The biscuits are a NO NO just full of sugar & carbs, sorry.
I love indian food too, but the rice you would have to look at the portion sizes also any naan's or poppadoms, but if you were doing the rest through the weeks you could maybe have your indian treat.
You have to start to test just before you start a meal to see where you are at then test at at least 2 hrs you do not want to have moved more than 2mmol/L from start to the finish if you have there is something in there that you need to remove or have a smaller quantity. I would personally test at 1hr also in the early stages. Once you know what you can eat you don't need to do all the testing.
Your number will come down , a little exersize will help 1/2 walking a day.
Good luck
Neil
indian is fine, cut the rice and breads and have a nonstarch veg curry dish on the side or a little dahl or lentil
