[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 204041, member: 11028"] Hi HpprKM, Remember the poll Ken (Cugila) conducted that asked members 'How many Carbohydrates do you consume per day'.... well the findings were rather interesting! A low-carb diet what I was led to believe when I joined the forum was 50g or below per day, of the 273 members that voted only 23% said they ate less than 50g of carbs, 10% said they ate 51g-75g, 31% said they consumed 76g-130g and 22% ate more than 130g of carbohydrates, the rest (14%) said they didn't count carbs, so working on the assumption that a low-carb diet is 50g or below there is no need to feel guilty that you eat a moderate carb diet given that most members follow what I would call a moderate carb diet. The best diet for anyone who has diabetes is the one that works for them, that is they maintain good bg levels and are satisfied that they are getting all the nourishment that their body requires, the low-carb/high carb debate is becoming rather boring but I thought I would post the above just to show you that we are indeed ''all different'' and no one has to follow a set diet dictated by someone else. Best wishes Nigel [/QUOTE]
