[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 1974729, member: 493719"] Hi [USER=499608]@Type-2-Havent-A-Clue[/USER] . i doubt many have a scoobies when they first get diagnosed. i know i didn't. many others have given great advice. let me just add,...the part i would have found most helpful in the early days. WHAT can i eat ? While others will tell you the right foods for meals etc. i have since found cooking to be the one way i get the food i need, without the c**p However i now have these standing by in my fridge, so i NEVER go hungry. (which i did, too often, in those early days..:bigtears: ) i've jut copied from another post i made, so apologies if it seems to refer to pints you haven't raised. xxxx My SURVIVAL Rations. not the worlds best cook, or most committed to the kitchen, but i do ok. 'snacks'..aka something to eat to keep hunger at bay, until you do cook your main meal. for that i have *greek yoghurt, a pot or lidl do 4 individual pots..(i like that) * blueberries usually, sometimes rasp/black/straw berries. * avocado NUTS *brazil nuts, pecan nuts, almonds, and *seeds of some sort..(pound store do trail packs of different types) once i open i place separately into plastic tupperware type things in fridge door. all g = carbs per 100g other have suggested , which i now also use *biltong (Carbs: 5.5g x100g .25g pack enough ) .never considered it, it's now a staple in our fridge..when missus isn't nicking it. *pepperami...similar can be bought, but peperami come in individual strips, great for a snack or to throw in and add to a packed lunch. cold meats.. *chicken, ham, bacon joint..cooked by me or shop bought all co exist and are usually gone by the use by date ( much less waste in our fridge since i changed diet) *peanut butter..whole earth (7.4g) *celery, great for fibre and suits creamy cheese and peanut butter, i've since discovered. (yum) *boiled eggs..great, nice and simple * ryvita..i no longer do bread :bigtears:..but ryvita provides the comfort blanket i sometimes need i find i can tolerate it quite well..(red quinoa 1 slice 5.3g) * olives. * tomatoes *cheeses (cream & hard) *coleslaw *salad/lettuce i find milk (full fat ) helps when i'm hungry and want to wait to eat most of my meals i cook that evening, as i never know what i fancy, and all the above can pad out any bit of meat etc i do bring home. ..i cook the one main meal, but divide that into two, one half tonight the other is tomorrow's lunch/dinner.. left overs are great too...if i cook swede and broccoli/cabbage/spinach, i fry the leftovers up next day and have with bacon, eggs, steak, etc..a meal in minutes. xxxx Do be sensitive to your needs re meds etc. i am on metformin only, and confess to little awareness of how much injected insulin or other meds will be impacted by certain foods/or food regimes. Hope some of that helps. and Welcome to the best little Forum..you didn't want to join. [/QUOTE]
