[QUOTE="Claudia 1961, post: 2576898, member: 559822"] Just try to eat protein and salad or vegetables if you want to be safe. Instead of a small serve of protein like meat, eat heaps. And go for family sized salads . These are my safe meals, I’ll tell you my work lunch later. Steak and salad , or chicken and salad , tuna and salad, fish and salad , eggs and salad. Same as above but with vegetables that are NOT starchy ( avoid potatoes, peas, carrots, pumpkin) . I am talking about safe meals here. It’s not like you can’t ever have anything again but it will cause a spike if you eat carbohydrates. Snacks : nuts, nuts, nuts cheese, olives, slices of meat, fruit: quarter apple, 2 grapes. ( fruit spikes blood sugar) A life saver for me has been finding bread that has 3gram carbohydrates per serve instead of 30 grams. Another life saver for me is to use a low carb protein powder, nuts , seeds, tablespoon of bran or oats , plain yoghurt, and a small half apple or some berries, to make a cereal bowl before I go for some exercise. The key to beating hunger is to load up on protein and fibre ( vegetables) and fat, preferably the good fats like nuts and avocado but hey a block of cheese if you are feeling that you need food. If you are hungry an hour after a meal, do a workout or walk: my experience is that it’s a high blood sugar hunger and fatigue thing. Try to have two hour gaps between eating. You can check your blood two hours after a meal to see how the meal worked on your blood sugar and learn from that. You’ll get a list of safe meals that way. Buy some diet jelly, and low carb ice cream. Make almond flour biscuits or cakes with sweetener. This is just my story and journey in the last few months. Work food High Protein / low carbohydrates shake with veg or quarter banana or both. Low carb but sipped over the day not gulped in one go! It helps me on days when I feel like I need to boost my energy like being on a drip Salad box or leftover vegetables ( not starchy) with tablespoons of hummus or half cup cottage cheese pieces . A multigrain cracker . Schnitzel Chicken Nut bags Low carb bread ( hard to find) For dishes that need pasta or rice I use as a substitute shredded cabbage or konjac noodles. For pizza I make a keto pizza base. Pizza is very important to me :) I like cauliflower cheese , can add boiled eggs. Skip the pasta. [/QUOTE]
