[QUOTE="There is no Spoon, post: 1720417, member: 468755"] Hi Chris, I can see from your diet you have gone for[COLOR=#ff0000] a healthy option every single time[/COLOR], but those healthy options work best if your non-diabetic.:banghead: Sorry this is going to be long winded but by breaking every meal down for you, it might help. [U]Breakfast.[/U] Weetabix is about the best cereal you can find, the least in sugar. [COLOR=#ff0000]Almost a healthy option. :banghead:[/COLOR] [LIST] [*]Cereal + milk = carbohydrate (with added sugar) + carbohydrate = bad. [*]Bacon & eggs = protein + protein = Good [/LIST] (I'm thinking of getting this printed on a T-shirt):woot: Semi-skimmed milk is lower in FAT and if your reducing your carb intake you need to replace the [I]energy shortfall [/I]so full FAT is better. Porage the stir in a pot kind is better than microwave packets. [U]Lunch. [/U] Yoghurt: has to be full FAT to compensate for[I] the energy shortfall [/I]from eating less carbs. Wholemeal pitta: is a [U]complex-carbohydrate [/U]so a much better choice than plain pitta (carbohydrate). But if your body is struggling to deal with carbs even though it feels like the healthy option it's not. :banghead: [U]Dinner.[/U] Brown rice/brown pasta: Again [U]complex-carbohydrate.[/U] meat/fish [B]grilled/steamed: [/B]Remember[I] the energy shortfall[/I] its better cocked in FAT coconut oil (for example) and butter. I completely understand where your coming from on all of these choices, every one of them like grilled/steamed is considered [COLOR=#ff0000]the healthy option[/COLOR] but not the diabetic healthy option. :banghead: I hope this helps, a couple of tweaks to what your already doing should give you even better results. ;) :bag: [/QUOTE]
