[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 416075, member: 6467"] Just a few comments on your eating patterns :-) Things you should beware of: toast, rice, sweetcorn, biscuits, crisps. Fruit in moderation only, sadly. If you swapped round one slot - chili for breakfast, cheese and biscuits for lunch, toast for tea then you might get through the day with few or no snacks and might even drop a few pounds and a few points on the BG. The traditional advice of "Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dine like a pauper" has a lot of sense. Breakfast of just toast is very carb heavy and has little goodness, so your body is struggling straight away. The lunch is fine apart from the rice and sweetcorn (umm...sweet...corn...hint?) :lol: Probably cheese and fruit would be a better evening meal than cheese and biscuits - as long as you don't overdo the fruit. Also, beware snacks! Especially crisps!! A while back I was trying the 5:2 diet where you have two days a week on 600 calories a day for men and 500 calories per day for women. I found that two eggs, two slices of lean bacon, tomato and mushrooms came to roughly 300 calories for my breakfast. If I was feeling unimaginative I could have the same for an evening meal and that kept me full all day. However a small packet of crisps came to about 300 calories, and wasn't really a substitute for a high protein low calorie meal. So I would humbly suggest that you review your eating pattern, and try eating a high protein breakfast (full English without the toast and fried potatoes) a medium lunch, and a light evening meal. If your body spends most of the day under stress because it feels that it is being starved then your BG is likely to go all over the place. People who stop eating to try and get their BG down often find it has the opposite effect. Hope this helps. :D LGC [/QUOTE]
