[QUOTE="Lakeslover, post: 2474050, member: 541354"] How many carbs? For me that’s not a straightforward question. I try to aim for 50g max per day. But testing has told me that not all carbs are the same, and even the same carbs can cause different spikes at different times of the day. For example I can tolerate no more than about 5G carbs first thing in the morning usually in the form of Greek yoghurt. But I generally skip breakfast which helps. Bread spikes me tremendously at any time of the day, as does any form of crisps, crackers etc. potatoes depend on how they are cooked and when I’m eating them! Chips or new potatoes are best, with a meal in the evening. A medium sized portion usually has no effect at all. of course your reactions to each of these will be different which is why people on here will tell you to test, test, test to begin with. [/QUOTE]
