[QUOTE="DJC3, post: 2108681, member: 468536"] That’s a really good point Debs and I don’t know the answer. 1 slice of 5g bread with butter and a couple of scrambled eggs would only have the same carb value as a salad or cauliflower cheese so where’s the difference? Maybe it’s because we wouldn’t stop at 1 slice whereas it’s not quite so tempting to eat half a cauliflower. I think the bread, being made of highly refined carbs would cause a much quicker steeper bg rise though and the corresponding slump is usually what has me feel horrible when I’ve inadvertently eaten something carby.
