[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2023186, member: 493719"] Hi [USER=503497]@Elaine1508[/USER] Sadly welcome to club Great crowd, a goldmine of GENUINE information, not the codswallop we get fed at Desmond's. To keep it simple. 3 food types. Fats Protein Carbs. We usually have a mix of each to power us through the day . But WE,....T2Ds , are allergic to carbs, which break down into sugars. so have to reduce them..which will leave us with less "energy" then we need. If we reduce one food group on our plate, we need to increase one of the others to help power us through the day. FATS are the easiest pick Most choose WHOLE FAT good choices Butter, cream, yoghurts, etc...so it's not mounds of fats, just better fats. The LOW FAT "HEALTHY" items, once they take OUT the FATS .. they improve the taste by adding..SUGARS Of which we are ALLERGIC...So not so HEALTHY for us .:***: For me, that means real butter on foods. Egg and bacon for breakfast. Avocado with scrambled egg Chicken WITH the skin, steak WITH the fat on... so I get a good bit of my protein AND fats right there, I then add in some healthy low carb veggies . And I'm well fed AND keep good control over the carbs I eat. Post above all good advice, stick around and have a read We were all you at some point, tossed bad news and ushered out the door, before you could comprehend the change in your health. Ask away, you'll always get a sympathetic ear..:) [/QUOTE]
