[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2197621, member: 355878"] You have made a good start, but you have retained quite a few high carb foods - or even begun to eat more of them, plus, you are eating low fat versions of quite a few things. There are frantic efforts to 'prove' that fat is the enemy, along with cholesterol, particularly LDL cholesterol - but the more analysis of actual number done, the less evidence that low fat is even good for us, let alone conferring any benefits. Many type two diabetics go against modern dogma and eat fat - it is, after all, what our brains and nervous systems are composed of. When I took Atorvastatin for a few weeks I thought that I would have to go into a care home as I was in a daze and could not remember what I was doing, or what I had done. I am in remission now, but I stick to under 40 gm of carbs a day. I eat meat, fish, eggs, cheese, ful fat yoghurt and cream. The only fruit I eat is frozen berries in small amounts, a maximum of two times a week. I drink coffee with cream, and have salads with coleslaw and olive oil and vinegar dressing, or roasted veges, or a stirfry. The list you gave is high in carbs - three pieces of fruit plus blueberries is probably several days of carbs for me, but that is just the start for you. I use bread which is 4 gm of carbs per slice, Livlife or protein bread, and usually have one slice when I have kippers. I avoid anything with sauces or coatings, preferring to have non messed about with foods anyway, but the additions are usually starch heavy. [/QUOTE]
