[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2327615, member: 401801"] I'm sorry, but, no... If someone needs to gain weight but needs to keep their T2 under control, fruit's off the table, grain and porridge too, couscous and whatnot... I'd avoid this list like the plague, if I were able to have children and wanted to carry one to term. Please keep in mind that when someone's pregnant and diabetic it's very important for them to keep their blood sugars in range as much as possible. That's not going to happen with porridge and oranges, and a lot of the other suggested foods. Fats really are the way here, as are protein. Yay for butter and lard. [USER=377794]@coleyd[/USER] , if you're losing weight, you might want to start eating more often. Three meals a day and three snacks a day are usually what is advised for TOFI type 2's, to maintain weight.
