[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1975249, member: 401801"] For the most part, knock yourself out. Just check packages. Like, if you have a processed food like peanut butter, some brands put sugar in. Others don't. Same with sausages. High meat content is fine, some chuck starches in as filler or sugar as a flavour enhancer. So do read the labels! What you really want to do is find out how many carbs a day work for you. Could be 85, could be 100, could be 50. I go for the ketogenic diet; 20 grams of carbs a day, or less. (Meaning I am in ketosis, so I don't burn carbs for fuel anymore, but fats. On top of that I skip breakfast so only eat 2 meals a day. Sometimes one.). It's easy to figure it out if you check your meter; you know the drill: before a meal, 2 hours after first bite, up no more than 2,0 mmol.l. But then when you have a goal per day, it makes it easier to decide what foods to eat and in what quantities. There are less carbs in three eggs with bacon, than there are in, say, two sticks of celery with cream cheese. Just a for-instance. So you really want to see what certain foods do to you and how many grams of carbs a day work for you. But yeah... Most things on that list aren't going to make your bloodsugars spike if ingested in normal portions. (Meaning, not starvation, bird-sized portions, but proper meals.) [/QUOTE]
