   I'm curious as to why you have started this post, when you've already asked this question and had answers here:-

   viewtopic.php?f=25&t=30056&start=15

3. Have you had the Welcome post that Dasiy1 and others make?

   it will really help you to know what you can and cannot eat, and how to find out what works for you.

   2, 6 and 9 are ok, but no tomatoes just bacon, mushrooms, eggs, 100% meat sausages. The other options are not even options.

   You can eat all of those foods but in varying quantities, the only way to know what quantities you can safely eat is to test them all before and two hours after eating and adjusting the quantities/portions.

   Couple of tips though, when I eat steak pie or any pie for that matter I only put pastry on the top not the base or sides so I only eat a small amount of pastry. I wouldnt eat any pie that is shop bought, make your own and you know whats in them

   Forget 'diabetic' marmalade it just has no added sugar but still has all the fruits fructose, just use ordinary marmalade but be sparing with what you use, a small level teaspoonful is generally enough to cover a single slice of Burgen bread and shouldnt affect your bg levels, BUT TEST anyway to be sure :thumbup:

   Test, test and test again until you know what is safe for you to eat, no one else can tell you what that might be as some foods that some can eat others find they cant :thumbup:

   celast, is the problem that you cannot imagine living without these foods (favourites maybe)?

   or that you don't know the rules you need to judge what is good and bad for your blood sugar?

   The rules are simple ish, but takes a bit of pondering sometimes and there are trickier aspects too. It also depends how careful you want to be.

   The doing of bits is more difficult for some than for others.

   I guess the main question to ask (yourself) is whether it is lack of knowledge/easy-enough rules, or rather the 'fear' and resistance in giving up things you like and take a journey down a path unknown?

   If it's the rules that bother you, try this:

   A sliding scale:

   If it has grain in it, avoid it completely (oats, wheat, corn, bread, pasta...) vs If you really want grain, pick some whole meal variants and do it in moderation.

   If it is a fruit or it grows below ground (carrots, potaoes...) avoid it vs If you really want fruit, eat a few berries.

   If you didn't make it yourself, be extremely careful and read labels vs If you must eat pre-prepped food, try to avoid grain and go for salads and meats.

   Have lots of fresh, unprocessed fish and meat and don't be too scared about fat contents vs You can have the occasional sausage without going nuts about a tiny bit of added flour to them, but of course avoid things in batter, dough and so on.

   If it is made of milk, avoid it vs Have moderate amounts of cheese and low-carb yoghurt.

   The first option will be better for you, I think. The 2nd option will be more open to your own interpretation, but then there is the risk to your blood sugar.

   If you can lean towards the first option and occationally slip into option 2, you are probably better off than if you do version 2 and then suddenly go for cake and stuff.

   Does this make sense like that? Do you think it can be done?

   Some of the more serious low carbers here will probably correct me if I am wrong, and also tell you more details. I am just trying to make you think about where on the sliding scale you might want to be and perhaps you will see the ...pattern or train of thoughts to use...

   Celast, do you know about the main nutrient groups? ie, proteins, fats and carbohydrates? This used to be taught pre-'O' level in my day, but I'm beginning to think that the younger generations are not getting this as part of their basic education.

   If you find Viv's Modified Atkins Diet on the 'Sticky Threads' section, you'll find a list of basic foods to eat if you want to stick to about 30g carb per day. I'm not suggesting you should go on that diet, but if you read the lists of 'allowed' foods and then think about what isn't there, you'll get a good idea of what contains carbohydrate and what doesn't.

   Mileana has summed it up very well. :thumbup:

   As an Ultra low carber, I'm not correcting you at all. Great post!

    Sorry if I upset you,must have been a senior moment but do not think post was the same

    I would say yes to 2 6 & 9, no to1 2 5 7 &10 although if you really want them then limit the portion size and don't eat them every day. Avoid pastry or have a pie with just a pastry crust so you eat less pastry. Most fruit with the word berries is OK in small quantities so strawberries, blue berries etc. You can get a vey useful carb counter book - Collins Gem for a few pounds.
