[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 605514, member: 55568"] It's not just at odds with losing weight, it can be at odds with trying to get your blood sugar levels down too. At first though, you have to learn about which foods suit you and which foods don't, because there are many different types of carb and people react to them differently. You'll see that with members comments on say, porridge. Some are fine with it whilst others avoid it like the plague. Obviously avoid sugary drinks, chocolate bars, biscuits, sweets etc. However, many recently diganosed type 2s are surprised to find that a simple ham sandwich will raise their BG levels. White flour is as bad as spooning in sugar. So, to start, avoid all thee white carbs, bread, rice, potatoes, pasta etc and stick to wholegrain carbs, things like ryvita, pumpernickel, brown rice, pearl barley, beans, lentils etc. Test to see the effects. Later you will most likely start to introduce things ike wholewheat noodles or wholewheat pasta but you will have to learn first. Increased activity too will help enormously. It affects how you digest certain types of food and improves your insulin sensitivity, to help you make better use of the insulin you still produce. This [URL='http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/sausage_gumbo.html']sausage gumbo[/URL] is a good example of a tasty meal, only 170 cals or so and only 18g of carbs. Eating things like this will help you lose weight without raising your BG levels. [IMG]http://assets.eatingwell.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/standard/recipes/MP5027.JPG[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
