[QUOTE="There is no Spoon, post: 1901442, member: 468755"] Hi Debbie, My lunch today is all carbs its all about finding what works for you. Food is not the Enemy. :p But that said [COLOR=#ff0000]some carbs are better for you than others [/COLOR]and you find this out through testing to see which ones raise your bg levels there is a very basic guide that anything high in starch like potatoes and other white/ beige root vegetables which grow under ground will raise your bg. [I]Bread and pasta will raise bg but low carb pasta/ bread or whole meal will not raise it as much.[/I] [B]If [/B]you cook many of the starchy food and leave them over night in the fridge it lowers the effect it has on spiking your blood sugars levels. [B]If[/B] you can't give up toast putting the bread in the freezer over night before slipping it in the toaster lowers the spike in blood sugar levels also. (just ask people will be happy to share tips like this with you).:bookworm: It's all about making better choices. Lunch today for anyone who is about to go off on me, because they are more carb intolerant than me. [LIST] [*]A bed of raw spinach [*]Diced tomatoes (leave the seeds on the chopping board) [*]Home-made Vegan beetroot/carrot/spring onion burgers/ chillies and walnuts [*]with home-made mint yoghurt [*]and a sprinkling of pomegranate seeds. [/LIST] Dinner on the other hand is Steak and Egg not a carb in sight. Give it some time and you will find what works for you Debbie. ;) :bag: [/QUOTE]
