- People who think that all diabetics are lazy - think some education is in order :0)
My weight stalled went to the dietician and she said it could be down to plate size and i also eat chips a few times a week.
So I have started to put together a diet sheet and will test after every meal to see how it effects me - but initially can you see anything that I should leave alone?
I could also do with some additional ideas for lunches and teas, I'm allergic to fish and cream and love pasta/potatoes and rice so wouldnt want to cut these out although definitely will be reducing them.
Any advice would be greatfully received as I need to get rid of this weight - thanks.
I also only have a small food budget as my hubbie is struggling to find work hes self employed.
