[QUOTE="Cultivator, post: 324290, member: 48941"] Hi Sarah, I am not great at his myself - I have been dancing around it for over 4 years now - but I have had some wake up calls so been back to taking the sugar / carbs thing seriously for a month now . What I have learned for myself - which might be different for you I know but here goes: Avoid fruit - which you do anyway so that's cool! cooked carrots not good - raw OK, other roots not good UNLESS roasted :) yippeee Green veg, fine beans, broccoli , leeks etc fine, also mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers etc But the veg that are little carb seeds in disguise - eg peas and broad beans are not so good. Roast veg - roast potatos, roast parsnips seem OK - I had mashed potato with plenty of gravy and butter and that was OK too although people seem to say it isn't! Personally I would avoid weetabix - I've been eating eggs for breakfast - and/ or bacon, sausage, fried mushrooms, etc... I know this is expensive (luckily I keep chickens and pigs) I suspect that cheese on toast would be a better bet than Weetabix - but you really need to test if you can .. I found rice and pasta made my blood sugar shoot up - even the wholesome brown kind, so I've just stopped eating them - I eat the meaty bits and the veg.. just give the rest of the family the rice/pasta/ potatos. BUT... sugar free jelly and cream is the answer to the hungriness problem - Oh yeah!! I've persuaded myself to eat salad a bit.. I have been buying 'sandwich ham' or other 'reduced to clear' sliced meats and rolling slices up around cream cheese or coleslaw - more than 2 slices required for a reasonable lunch but, honestly, I have managed to avoid the kit Kat box at work really easily!! Diet drinks help with the urge to stuff something in your mouth, also sugar free polos .. Whoops, family just arrived home and I was supposed to be working ! Got to go, good luck :) [/QUOTE]
