[QUOTE="CatJA, post: 2761745, member: 593941"] Hello I want to thank this group and the information within this site for all the help and advice. It has really helped me, my numbers have dropped and technically, I am no longer pre-diabetic. Small changes certainly help. I am continuing to keep to the new dietary changes and hope this will keep me on track - especially as I am not getting any younger. So apart from a big thanks, I want to say it’s not impossible to change your health direction. In brief, changes I made; Tracked everything I ate and drank on my fit bit app. 30g shredded wheat bites with skimmed milk for breakfast - instead of 2 slices of white toast. Lunch, 2 slices of the small hovis brown loaf, 20g feta cheese, chicken or ham, salad leaves for a sandwich. 100-110g Zero fat Greek yogurt, blueberries and chia seeds and one kiwi fruit. Changed from grapes and satsumas and white sliced bread. Dinner, salad or veg (no potatoes) with chicken or omelette. Basically no carbs unless you count the carbs in veg. I used to have pasta, bread or chips with my meal. Apple in the evening and not biscuits. I only have two biscuits a week at my mums. I have a ‘sweet tooth’ so can’t have sweet snacks in the house or I will eat them! I have lost some weight and already exercise daily, so I think for me I was carb loading a lot and now really watch my carbs and the type I have. This may not work for everyone but it has certainly worked for me and without starving. Happy Thursday all xx [/QUOTE]
