[QUOTE="KathyCP, post: 1672900, member: 424527"] hi, welcome to the forum, fabulous results! you say a couple of things that i think are key - one is that you're focused and committed (makes all the difference, but not always that easy to maintain). also that you often only have two meals a day - i personally have found that i've got used to leaving at least 5 hours with no snacking between meals, which doesn't really leave time for 3 meals, especially as i don't like eating first thing in the morning and also don't want to eat too late, ideally not after 7pm. have you got a meter? i find it invaluable to monitor my own levels - i used to do it on a daily basis when i was still struggling to bring my levels down, now i do it twice a week, once when i wake up and then again two hours after a meal or sometimes just at random, depending on what fits into my day. there is lots of advice you can find here on the forum about meters, test strips etc. oh, and lastly - peanuts are my staple treat - i eat them by the bucket load (they've replaced chocolate in my life) and they don't seem to push my levels up at all :) [/QUOTE]
