Almonds

[Maryanne29]

I read that almonds are so low in carbs they don't make a difference to BG results. I bought a pack of blanched almonds and took to work to snack on. Checked BG before I ate any, and two hours after eating several (well quite a few), no change to BG. Absolutely fantastic! Now bought some more.

If you look in the recipe section there's a carrot cake made mainly from almonds does very little to my blood sugar 🙂

If you have a good Asian supermarket nearby the price of almonds are so much cheaper than your average supermarket ...walnuts make a nice snack aswell 🙂
