[QUOTE="finzi1966, post: 2474051, member: 548675"] I am overweight (although a lot less so since I started eating low carb). My feeling about your food list is that I’d probably lower carbs a bit more, and up the fat. But you can do these things gradually, it’s a marathon not a sprint. Thoughts for maybe lowering carbs: personally I’d ditch the weetabix (I haven’t eaten cereal of any kind since I was diagnosed). I’d maybe replace it with eggs (fried, poached, boiled, scrambled), smoked salmon, avocado, full fat Greek yoghurt with some berries. Lunch sounds OK but I’d reconsider the two slices of toast, maybe cut down to one, but smother it in butter. And plenty of protein alongside. Your dinner sounds good, perhaps have the same sort of things that you’re having for dinner for lunch as well. SF jelly is a great snack. To me, 2 Rich Teas sounds a bit bleak! If I was *going* to spend 12 carbs on a biscuit, I’d rather have a nice biscuit! Also I saw you mention low fat sausages! No no no! Why would you want to eat a low fat sausage? Just make sure it’s a low CARB sausage. They do vary, generally the higher quality the better cos there’s more meat and less bready filler. But low fat - Nooo! Also ditch the Benecol and eat butter. Plenty of olive oil on your salads. These days I don’t eat very much cos I’m on Ozempic so my food intake probably wouldn’t really work for you, but before that, I aimed for under 30g carbs per day, didn’t count calories or fat but tried to have plenty of fat and protein.
