[QUOTE="bookmite, post: 665639, member: 135800"] Thank you for your prompt reply...I do keep a food diary, pre diagnosis i used it purely for tracking my calorie intake. So it will be relatively easy to make a note of carb values. carbs what little pesky things they are lol..they can't do right for doing wrong..I seem to recall from somewhere 130g as being an acceptable daily carb level, yet I notice on here peeps managing a daily intake of 30g . Sadly carbs are really what I'm craving, I guess this will be my achilles, as for sugar..I use "splendida"sugar substitute in tea or coffee, I "used" to have a chocolate addiction, but that has almost completely out of my diet apart from the very occasional treat. I'm assuming I only monitor after main meals ?on my diet I usually only have one main meal a day after breakfast, with little or no snacking in between, if I do snack it's no longer cake or biscuits, but a Rivita with thin sliced ham or something similar. I don't usually have anything unless I feel weak and shaky. It's hard to both diet and watch sugar intake , but I have lost a stone in weight and certainly much fitter for the excercise. So I'm thinking a protein based breakfast, grilled bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, with a poached egg kind of food, and for tea ...guess I hit the recipe section and get creative. :-) [/QUOTE]
