Seeking advice here folks.
Since my diagnosis on Sept 28th, I put myself on a high protein, high fat, low carb diet.
It seems to be working.
Weight down from 97.9 to 91kgs today.
My Target is to get it down to around 80kgs quickly then moderate my diet down to say 75 over time.
Problem is, it has given me a slight problem in another "department".
I used to consume an awful lot of Bran flakes, fruit and fruit juice etc.plus baked beans and never ever had any issues.
Was looking at either changing my normal oatmeal breakfast to perhaps ALL-Bran on alternative days.
Getting it here will prove expensive imported somewhere in the region of the equivalent to £6 per box.
Checked the low carbs website and a 30 gr serving with semi skimmed is cited as 25g and oatmeal is cited as 38G per zero sugar for both. Carbwise should be fine.
I cannot eat and do the 2 hour test in the mornings simply because I have breakfast around 5.45 - 6, leave at 7 and don't get into the office in Kunshan sometimes after 9.
Therefore I am travelling at the 2 hour marker.
Perhap I could take it up to my usual 38gm level with some fruit, not sure which one.
Problem is I detest ALL-Bran, like eating compacted sawdust unless you combine it with a lot of fruit which I don't want to do currently.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions to alternatives that would not interefere with my current low carbs quest.
I am drinking approx 2 litres of water per day.
