Beef broth with veggies (carrots, celery, onions), 1 bottle of water. Dinner: 1/2 chicken breast, 1 cup of fried cauliflower rice with veggies (peas, carrots, onion), 12 oz unsweet iced tea. NO pasta, bread, potatoes, etc...
Glucose testing still 190-200... what am I doing wrong? Now some days I don't eat and it's still high. About to give up!!
they give me indigestion. I do make low carb breads from time to time (particularly for my children) out of almond flour or coconut flour. There are some great low carb website for lowcarb baking (alldayIdreamaboutfood) is a great one. However, I mostly just stick with basic foods.
Breakfast is typically just coffee with cream. Both lunch and dinner will typically be some sort of meat and veges.
You need to be sure you are using the right Insulin Carb ratio for your doses before meals and that you have an accurate carb count. Calorieking.com is a good resource for carb listings in addition to what's on packages (and be sure to correctly measure servings). In order to gain weight you want to increase your protein and fats so that you can gain weight without increasing carbs.

I bet in a month you will have cut the amount of time it takes you to chop 20 pounds of celery into 1 mm thick pieces by at least half. Time yourself now and then time yourself again in a month. I'm not kidding here-find yourself another habit.
Anything to keep yourself preoccupied. We are all here for you. Keep posting-100 times a day if you need to.
Congrats to you on staying clean. Be proud of yourself-we all are!!
I keep a bowl of sliced radishes, celery, carrots, etc sitting on the counter most of the time, so whenever I walk by, I can grab a few slices to munch on. This keeps me from being so hungry at meal time. I also keep a large tumbler of iced lemon water on the counter and I sit at that whenever I walk by, as well. Drinking water keeps me hydrated and helps keep me fuller.
And of course, there's always exercise.
I recommend low carb (20 - 50 g a day), moderate protein (approx. 0.8 - 1 g / kg of body weight), and the fat that comes naturally with the selected foods; enough that you are not hungry.
Note: you must not eat low fat foods - eat regular fat foods, use butter, oil reasonably in cooking, choose fatty meat cuts, avocado, etc).
medication is one part of blood sugar controle (BG)... your taking drugs
so is execise... your exercising
so is what you eat.... What do you eat?
Carbohydrates raise BG... ALL carbs raise BG carbs are pasta, rice, wheat, most fruit, ALL raise BG.
ve been on that High Fat Low Carb diet. But my mother is in town and after taking her to the city zoo, and doing a bunch of walking, I decided to take her to a Thai place.
It was the first time eating a carb meal in a month. It was drunken noodles, with tomato, basil, and chicken.
Some sites say that as long as it's under 140 im fine. But the internet says crazy things sometimes. I wanna hear from real people.
Plus, remember that you are adding a 1/2 c. or more of milk to that cereal and you need to add in the carb count for the milk. If you add fruit, once again you need to figure out the carbs and remember that a portion would be 1/2 of a banana or 1/4 c. of berries. The way most people eat their cereal, they are easily consuming over 100 gms. of carbs in one bowl!!!! The most you should have per meal is 45-60 gms. The low end is for women and the high end number is for men.
