[QUOTE="TriciaWs, post: 2044383, member: 475901"] You shouldn't need to cut out carbs completely, but the NHS advice to just swap sugar for other carbs is not supported by recent evidence. I started on 100g of carbs a day, swapped my skimmed milk for a mix of full fat and coconut milk, changed my high carb breakfasts and swapped milk chocolate to 85% dark (and a lot less of it). The low carb programme suggests starting at 130g or less and reducing further if you blood sugar isn't improving. As you don't need to lose weight make sure you eat enough fat - butter, double cream, chicken skin, cheeses, eggs, etc. Eat berries instead of other fruits, or rhubarb - I make a crumble with ground almonds and butter and use truvia sweetener in the rhubarb or use a mix of raspberries and rhubarb. But only one portion of fruit a day and extra green veg instead. I replaced rice with cauliflower rice, which tastes fine. [/QUOTE]
