Is it essential to test? The nurse\doctor never mentioned this to me. Just give me a print off of foods to eat/avoid.
Normal days food would be: bacon in white roll and hot chocolate for breakfast. Lunch a sandwich and bag of crisps and chocolate bar. Tea some form of meat and frozen chips.
Tudorclare, you are so right about the doctor's advice. As soon as I got home I was looking up a better understanding other than a list. I think the hardest part for me, was at the start of journey most of the meals I read about just did not sound that good or the meal prep was just to complex. For me it is simple, eat portion or protein, with a serving of quality carbs (like broccoli, cabbage, green beans, beans). I try to keep it simple.
