Message: <blockquote data-quote="phoenix" data-source="post: 76785" data-attributes="member: 12578">Before I got type 1, like many my weight was gradually creeping up, I lost the weigh because of diabetes. I'm now a lot more aware of how much I eat (and used to eat) my BG levels are fine but I'm very aware how easy it would be to creep up again.  I think we've got used to eating too much and  one of the reasons for the  general increase in weight in recent years is portion size.   The GI news reports a project where recipes in subsequent editions of a popular cookbook in the US were analysedmore here <a href="http://ginews.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://ginews.blogspot.com/</a>and just compare the average calories in the 1936 book (even if you add some on for potatoes and veg )with the calories in a meal at somewhere like a Harvester where one course can be over 1000 calories. see  <a href="http://www.harvester.co.uk/nutritional-information.html" target="_blank">http://www.harvester.co.uk/nutritional-information.html</a> I've got  a post war Marguerite Patten that my Granny used somewhere I'll have to compare it with my modern cookbooks.</blockquote>
