when I started the diet I had trouble eating the 3 serves of dairy, 3 serves of low gi carbs, protien etc I think I had the oposite problem because I'm not a big carb eater. I did find some realy nice sour dough loaf that I would eat as a snack with olive oil margerine, I substituted 1 carb with my meal for a yogurt or something like that so I didn't have to eat so much with each meal. I also found I couldn't eat porridge unless it was made with whole oats(eewww too chewy) I was able to have meusli if I picked out some of the dried fruits, couldn't add sugar but it seemed to be sweet enough with some of the sultanas etc, I looked for some Just Right or something like that but I'm more of a toast gal so I have a few different types of breads to choose from and then I'll have things like low fat cream cheese, (naughty but I'll have fresh ham) I've noticed the bread has to be full of nuts and seeds so it doesn't spike up my sugar and I prefer 1 slice instead of 2 so I have a glass of milk with a tspoon of milo in it.
I know everyones different but I hope I can pass on some hope to you girls I really feel for you I know it's so hard specially watching people scoff down all this yummy stuff while we have to count and check every little mouthful
Ohh there is a crushed fruit in fruit juice jelly called "crushables" they're soo yummy! and there's another one thats chopped fruit in juice jelly just check out the sugar content on the packs..
ohh also Miniz Icecream Smoothies by Streets they're great for after lunch.
I tend to get higher readings after dinner rather than lunch or breaky I guess my metabolism is slower then so I try to have my "sweets" at supper after my 2hr reading.
Ohh another thing I count my 2hrs starting from the time I FINISH a meal not at the start you guys probably know that by now anyway but I didn't when I first started so thought I better mention it.
Nuts are good too... I'll try think of some other things bbl
