[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2276826, member: 401801"] You've already been given the link to The Nutritional Thingy, so I'm hoping that'll clear some things up for you. You'll have to learn to read nutritional information, I'm afraid. Only one bit on the packaging matters though, so it's relatively simple: Total carbs. That's what you're looking for. The rest you can pretty much ignore. (Be especially weary when something has "no added sugar"!). Weetabix is out, and woth your current levels I'd be avoiding spuds etc too. Maybe add a small amount back in when your levels are under control? Does that sound alright? Your diet is very rich in carbs, you'll really want to examine it and look for workable alternatives. Meaning stuff your blood sugars won't go bonkers over and will keep you both healthy and happy. You'll get there. We all basically started out where you are right now. And [USER=480869]@HSSS[/USER] makes a good point; changes you're making have your body in a tizzy. It will demand carbs, while you're kicking the habit. (Not overstating it, carbs are actually addictive. Trigger the same bits in the brain that hard drugs do!). It feels horrid for a bit, but I promise you, you'll be healthier and more energetic on the other side of this. Good luck, Jo [/QUOTE]
