[QUOTE="kimlala, post: 1534414, member: 409921"] Hi @Loukay, I don't know much about slimming world diet, but I can tell you following low carb, moderate protein, and moderate fat (avocados, and fat from the protein) works for me. This helps keep my bs in a normal range, and my insulin intake low. My bs levels were all over when I was first diagnosed, and I couldn't figure out why. I was eating what I always ate, organic beans (black bean burgers, lots of humus that I made from scratch) brown rice, gluten free rice flower, etc, plus lots of juiced veggies. I thought and believed that I was eating correctly, yet bs would rise between 120-200. Feeling totally defeated (and barely eating), plus terrified of my meter, I started researching diets. Accidentally I stumbled on LCHF diet, and I was able to control bs for the first time. I found I loved the fat part a little to much, and I was gaining weight. That is when I cut back on my tasty fat treats and weight went back to normal. My husband has lost a little over 10 lbs following my diet in 3 months while eating his bacon. He is thrilled after years of not having bacon (do to me). I don't eat breakfast, never have, just coffee and cream. Lunch is usually small; sardines, anchovies, salami, or hard-boiled egg, usually on a bed of spinach. Dinner follows the same pattern. I bake with ground flax seed and cream cheese all kinds of delicious treats, as almond flower is crazy expensive. I even use flax in my meatballs, and made flax-chocolate chip cookies. No sugar, and using Lily's sugar free dark chocolate. It takes time, and you will figure out what works best for you. There are many success stories here, and lots of helpful information. :) [/QUOTE]
