[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2290295, member: 25851"] I've been sorting stuff out and found the diet sheet given to me by the local dietician who works with the diabetes clinic and was horrified to think I actually tried to eat it. It is actually at least twice what I would normally eat and contains much too much carb (she disagrees with low carb diets). Just to let you all see what was officially recommended as a diet designed specifically for me, I am going to copy it here: BREAKFASTS One of - [LIST] [*]2 oz breakfast cereal + 150 ml semi-skimmed milk + 1 small banana [*]3 tbsp porridge made with 200 ml semi-skimmed milk + 1 med slice wholemeal bread with margarine and jam or marmalade [*]2 med slices wholemeal toast, margarine + 150 ml orange or pineapple juice [*]2 small rashers grilled bacon, 1 slice wholemeal toast, 1 grilled tomato [*]1 sliced banana (or other fresh or tined fruit), 1 small pot nat yoghurt [*]2 slices wholemeal bread and margarine, 4 thin slices ham or turkey [/LIST] LIGHT MEALS One of - [LIST] [*]2 medium slices wholemeal toast and margarine + 1 small can baked beans [*]2 medium slices wholemeal bread + 2oz cream cheese or 1 oz cheddar + mixed salad [*]6 oz baked potato + 4 oz cottage cheese OR 1 small can baked beans + ½ oz grated cheddar [*]2 slices wholemeal bread + 100g pilchards in tomato sauce + 2 sliced tomatoes [*]2 slices wholemeal bread + margarine, 100 g tuna or smoked makcerel + mixed salad [*]2 egg omelette (mushroom, tomato, cheese or ham filling) + 1 slice wholemeal toast [*]1 large ladle lentil soup or scotch broth + 1 wholemeal rolll + 2 slices cold ham or turkey [*]3 tbsp breakfast cereal + 150 ml semi-skimmed milk + 1 small banana [/LIST] MAIN MEALS One of - [LIST] [*]100 g roast chicken/beef/pork + green beans, carrots 3 – 4 egg sized potatoes, 2 tbsp gravy [*]150 g boiled pasta + 150 g pasta sauce + mixed salad [*]100 g cauliflower + 50 g cheese sauce, garden peas, grilled tomato + 2 slices wholemeal toast [*]100 g lean pork chops, cabbage, carrots, 150 g mashed potatoes, 2 tbsp gravy [*]150 g grilled steak, 100 g baked new potatoes, mixed salad/vegetables [*]4 grilled fish fingers, 100 g baked beans, 75 g oven chips [*]150 g slice of pizza, mixed salad [*]75 g chicken fillet, cut into strips, stir fried in 1 tbsp oil, add mixed chopped vegetables + 1 tbsp soya sauce with 100 g boiled rice [*]100 g gammon steak, grilled, 1 pineapple slice, 150 g mashed potato, 2 tbsp canned sweetcorn and 1 other vegetable [/LIST] SNACKS 2 of - [LIST] [*]1 small pkt nuts or dried fruit [*]1 slice bread or toast with butter and jam or peanut butter or cream cheese [*]125 g pot diet yoghurt [*]1 bowl breakfast cereal + 200 ml semi-skimmed milk [*]1 mug diet hot chocolate [*]1 digestive or 2 rich tea biscuits [*]1 pot (150 g) custard or rice pudding [*]small bowl fruit salad (bananas, grapes, apple in orange juice) [*]1 scone or pancake with butter + jam or cream cheese [*]1 mug soup (cuppa soup , tinned or home made) [*]2 medium sized oatcakes with 1 oz cheddar cheese [/LIST] Every item in the diet sheet is carb heavy. How can anyone think that is healthy, never mind weight reducing. It is actually far more carbs than I could eat and quite a few more calories, I imagine. Is it any wonder I gave up on that fairly rapidly? Anyway, today's food - I am giving the chicken a bye and having berries with greek yoghurt. Probably in about an hour. [/QUOTE]
