[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1719443, member: 401801"] Your diet looks good, except for the load of carbs in there. Drop the rice, bread, (and pasta, corn etc) wheetabix and you're halfway there. With kicking carbs out you'll have to replace them with either fat or protein, so you might want to consider full fat greek yoghurt for instance, as it's filling and still low-carb, or coconut yoghurt... Adding cream to your coffee? Or go for an english breakfast without the toast. And if you really want rice, mince cauliflower to the same consistency, it's surprisingly versatile! Meat, fish, salads, nuts and berries are usually fine. Best thing to do is get a meter, check what impact certain foods have (I'm fine with berries in the morning for instance, but they spike me later in the day). It's a learning curve. For me it's berries, nuts and tea in the morning, salad or stir fried veggies in the afternoon, and veggies and meat in the evening. For snacks I have nut mixes, olives etc, and extra dark chocolate (sometimes with a bit of coconut butter.), But if you have no issues with milk like I do, cheeses and the like are good. There's a whole lot you can eat without spikes, you just have to rearrange your plate some. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
