Your shake with a cup of milk, 5 strawberries, a banana, flax seeds, and chia seeds may have been the milk, the strawberries if they were very over-ripe, and/or the banana. Definitely the banana. They are the worst fruit to choose. I stick to berries (fresh not frozen and not over ripe) and can also manage half an apple, all eaten with either full fat yogurt or double cream. Never on their own. I limit my milk to a dash in tea. I use cream in coffee.I would definitely cut out/replace those vitamin chews. You may as well eat a jelly baby.Most people choose a few nuts for snacks, but if you can manage not to snack at all, that would be better. If I feel the need for a snack I have a decaf coffee with cream or I drink water.How many carbs per meal? How long is a piece of string. We all have different tolerance levels to the number of carbs, and also to which carbs. You can only learn what your own tolerance is by eating to your meter. Personally I can manage a slice of heavily seeded bread with a meal, but not 2 slices. I can also manage a couple of new/roast potatoes, and also half a dozen chips, but no more than that. Some people can't manage any bread or potatoes.Whatever you do, you need to find a diet that you personally can sustain for life, not just a few weeks. Use your meter to help you.</blockquote>
