[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1007296, member: 196898"] I am doing LCHF diet, and my daily target is 120-150 Net carbs, so 100 may be a little low, but there are some here that are aiming for 20 gms a day. I did read a LC diet site somewhere that decried peanut butter because, although peanuts are technically low carb, the gunk we buy in the supermart is a highly processed sugar trap. Also there are charts etc on the web that list the carb content of veg and fruit. You may be eating the wrong things, even thought they are healthy (not so sure about the peanut butter though) Even 1 medium banana can send your bgl into orbit if its ripe. Most of us struggle with rising levels after a meal, and there are guidelines on this site somewhere that show what numbers are considered 'normal' for T2 on orals. One thing to remember is that everything we eat, apart from non soluble fibre, gets converted to glucose in the blood to feed the machine. Those advocating a LC diet would like us to believe that fat and carbs have no effect on blood sugar, but they are wrong. if you want to scare yourself, google Krebs Cycle or Citrus Cycle. As Angelina Jolie's tatoo says 'Everything I eat kills me' Even cholesterol gets used if bgl levels drop too low. [/QUOTE]
