Cheese

[Laconic]

I like snacking in between meals on cheese mini babybell or cathedral city mini bites, babybell contain no carbs and cathedral 0.1 per 100g.
However I’ve read that cheese should be eaten in moderation by diabetics, I thought because they are low carb they can be eaten in plenty

I have these too - and a lot of other cheese, as I love it! I don't think cheese is bad for diabetics, on the contrary it's fine (unless maybe you're trying to lose weight), so I would say enjoy! 🙂

There is just so much rubbish spouted about 'healthy' 'good for' 'balanced' and all the other positive descriptions of what is mostly high cost carbs - it is not logical!!
Cheese is protein and fat - the lactose is usually squeezed out in the production process.
I do find that on my two meals a day I do not need to snack - maybe check that you are eating enough at meal times so you don't need to eat between times.

Its probably because its dairy which the body metabolises differently and also it will pack the weight on if you eat too much will impact on your blood glucose too.

Cheese is good but the recommendation is matchbox size piece to consume, probably no more than twice daily max, eggs are good to snack on too as well as celery stick with peanut butter in the middle 😛

I enjoy eating babybells as snacks,at least I do when they are on offer,I bought a 454g big chunk of stilton last week from Lidl and I have a couple of slices with sliced onion,cherry toms and 30 g of pecans or wanuts,I try to have cheese and nuts every day if I remember,and as Jodee on the post above I love peanut butter and get that from Aldi and choose the 100% nut one,with no added palm oil

'Matchbox sized' - yeah but which brand of matches is that based on? England's Glory, Swan Vestas or one of the big boxes of 'household' matches ?

This applies equally when something is quoted as 'egg sized' - the egg of which bird - a quail, a pullet, a standard hen laying standard size eggs, an ostrich - which!
