Watermelon

[deb1960]

My husband decided to have some cheese and crackers for his supper and although I know that I can have the cheese I can't have the crackers! I didn't want to eat cheese on its own because I need to lose weight. I decided to have some watermelon instead. I had quite a lot and worried about my bs although it didn't make me stop eating it. Two hours later bs 5.4! I also raised my bs at breakfast by 2mmol having eaten porridge. I have been struggling with eating a full meal since starting lchf but I've finally realised that if I put half the usual serving I used to eat on my plate I can eat most of it. I'm obviously a very slow learner! I made fish pie for dinner tonight and topped it with mashed celeriac, swede and parsnips...delicious.

They need to tell type 2 diabetics to test. It is only with testing that we know what we can and cannot eat. There is not a once size fits all diet. Good on you for finding out what’s good for you.
