[QUOTE="Debandez, post: 2002345, member: 460354"] Hello and welcome You have been given a lot of really good info already so I will just give you an example of what I eat in a day to give you an idea. But no bread pasta, rice, potatoes, fruit juice or cereal. I substitute rice with cauli rice, pasta with courgette spaghetti or veg, potatoes with celeriac. My typical day on LCHF (for me that's around 50g to 70g carbs a day, many go a lot lower but see what you are happy with) Breakfast If I’m not feeling like breakfast I just have a coffee and double cream. If I feel like breakfast I will have one of the following usually: 2 eggs any which way I fancy, with cheese, double cream, mushrooms, cooked in butter. Bacon x 2 with 2 x eggs any which way, mushrooms if I fancy, sausage as a treat. Kippers. Full fat Greek yoghurt with berries (no other fruit as too sweet) or a sprinkle of keto muesli with full fat yoghurt. Continental breakfast of cheese, ham, salami, tomatoes, olives. Lunch (if I'm hungry or if I have skipped breaky) Salad with fish or meat (I love chorizo chicken and feta or grilled halloumi at the mo) with full fat mayo Continental lunch – if I feel like a cracker I have 1 x 'thins' cracker (lashings of butter!) Dinner Meat and veg (above ground veg better for diabetics) Lots of broccoli and cauli, stir fry. And I cut out alcohol initially to get blood sugars right down as quickly as possible (my husband was delighted as I became the designated driver!!!)– I do enjoy a drink now, I love a glass of red wine with my evening meal. In the beginning I drank lots of water. I wanted to wash out the sugar that had accumulated in my body that could cause any damage. It did not take long before my blood sugar level started to come down. I could see from the Mysugr app on my phone that my hbac1 was going in the right direction. You have a meter so I would encourage you to record your fasting blood glucose level, before you eat and 2 hours later. Mysugr will give you an estimate of what your hba1c will be. Check out diet doctor and ditch the carbs web sites. As well as the link you have been given to 'what have you eaten today' on here. So much great info. [/QUOTE]
