[QUOTE="Kezzer4321, post: 666194, member: 124303"] Hi Mac, I know its all a bit scary in the beginning, but if you have a meter and your see the results first hand you will start to understand what all the fuss about carbs is about. A lot of people find that simply by reducing the amount of carbs (not giving them up completely) helps. I am experimenting between the two... So it may be that you cut your breakfast down to 1 slice of wholemeal toast (not white) and that you have an open sandwich for lunch... and a smaller amount of potatoes or pasta with your dinner. Unfortunately the only way to get the results you want is to make some changes. For me any bread or substitutes are a no - because they spike me too much.. I can get away with a couple of new potatoes or a small amount of mashed potatoes with cheese or cream in on a shepherds pie (my fav dinner) or a tablespoon of pasta... anything more and my bloods go berserk! Everybody is different and the great thing about this site is there are lots of people trying lots of different things... who can offer you some fabulous advice, so good luck :) [/QUOTE]
