gezzathorpe said:IanD said:gezzathorpe said:Ian, can you specify for me a breakfast and lunch I should have tomorrow so I know I am following you recommendations. You know, what, how much etc..... thanks. I was thinking 2 kippers for breakfast, chicken breast for lunch and pork loin for dinner. Is that enought fat & protein? I will add carbs to make up 30%
My daily b'fast is a nut porridge:
Total of 50 g of - ground almonds, coconut flour (or desiccated c'nut), and flax seed mix
That will provide about 25 g fat, with a further 25 g carb, protein & fibre.
I normally make it with boiling water, and m'wave for about 1 minute to thicken it. Fell free to use milk, and bring to the boil to chicken. Use a glass jug as it will boil over! I add about 10 ml double cream.
It's a long time since I had a kipper - suggest you top them with butter.
I sometimes have a two egg omelette, cooking bacon first and pouring in the beaten egg when its ready.
Lunch - about 150 g lean meat (chicken & pork loin are fine) and boiled veg - carrots, parnips, onions, green beans, tinned tomatoes, tomato puree, cooked in water with a stock cube; when the veg are cooked, stir in a cup-a-soup
Cook the meat by frying both sides in lard, butter or veg oil - then if you wish transfer to the grill - the oil/fat prevents it drying out, - or transfer to the veg mix.
pour the gravy into a mug to drink as soup - it avoids thickening.
As a carb substitute I make a cake with the same nut powders, eggs, butter and olive oil, to eat with my meal (it absorbs gravy) or as a nutritious snack. That's optional, but handy. I bake it 3 times a week.
It you want a sweet, berries and or low sugar jelly with cream.
For an evening meal, I have salad with cheese or ham.
Hope that helps.
Thanks, I had already planned my day's food by the time I got round to reading this. I have completed one day.
This is not aimed at you personally in any way, but I was prepared to volunteer to switch my diet to a low-carb diet to see what difference it made and to publish my results. I thought that it was bold of me, as a 'diabetes resolved' person, to take a degree of risk in the hope that other T2 people may be interested in the results since we are all reliant on 'dubious' facts and figures from the internet and other media etc.
It has become clear to me that there is strong disagreement between people within the T2 'low-carb fraternity' and some people on this site have told me one thing publicy whilst saying another in private. They have even tried to ridicule me because I have achieved what they are unable to. What is their motivation to do this? I have no idea. I'm afraid I cannot afford to continue this experiment in these circumstances. So I am reverting to the diet and lifestyle which has stood me in good stead.
I wish all T2 'low-carbers' well in their quest to improve their well-being, free of bG testing and meds etc. if that is their aim.
I am happy to continue chatting with anyone privately if they wish provided that anything that is said in private remains private.
Gezzathorpe .
It was a nice gesture from IanD to put the above post and food options/support for you .
You can/should choose what suits you etc
It is your everyday routine that you live and choose to do .
Whatever gets said in any PM's should/must remain private ...
However - any differences between any members is down to each person
view/take on things etc.
Best to accept this as such - keeping to a more positive and productive approach .
No dictating or segregation of carb
Creating a them and us - scene and setting .
Within certain diabetes type's - will be tolerated here .
It is preferred and more positive to be done as a supported suggestion
(such as IanD has done in the post above for you)
Each member has the right to their own 'free' choice as an individual person .
We support and help others extremely well here - and wish for it to remain as so .
Thanks Anna .
