[QUOTE="jopar, post: 105370, member: 11712"] What are the best carbs? Well unfortunatley, this is a bit hard yes avoiding heavy sugared products will do a lot of good, but also there is a certain amount of how an individual body reacts to particular carbs.. But if you can get old of and GI diet book, this will help you find slower bruning carbs that don't hit the system quick so can be a good guide there is also a web site with an index to it, I try to find it for you and post... The only real way of knowing how individual carbs are reacting, is testing BG's before and around 2 hours after a meal... Soups etc, are better if you make them from scratch rather than tinned as manufacturers hae a bad habbit of lobbing a lot of sugar in them... Will Power This is a hard one as sasdly can't be given in a tin... But some tips that might be helpfull Make small changes at a time... Say tackle one meal at a time rather than trying to change all meals at one time... Try cutting having a smaller portion of potatoes, pasta and bulking out on vegetables, meat.. Perhaps buy a smaller plate so it looks more than it is... Swaping one sandwich for a piece of fruit or yogert can help (fruit wise, grapes, oranages and bananas tend to hit the blood glucose quickly) Exercise.. If can walk to work, give it a bash even if you start by walking once a week then increase over time If you need to catch a bus, try walking to the next stop to catch and get off a stop early.. If you need to drive, try parking as far away from the building as possible (every little bit helps) If you get a choice between lifts or stairs take the stairs. Dinner time have a stroll or walk around... Some people are lucky that they can lchange there whole lifestyle over-night, and maintain there new regime for ever more, for others they got to take a slower appraoch, by changing a little bit at a time over a period of time, they find there motivation and encourage to change a little bit more as the start to see the results and feel better within themselves..
