Weetabix (and all cereals, actually) was something I gave up a few months after diagnosis as I found it impossible to control the spike - think I still have most of a box in the cupboard that are about 3 years past their sell by date! 😱 Shame really, as I was brought up on them - they saved my life as a baby, because I was losing weight and it was the only solid food I could keep down so always had a fondness for it. Mind you, as a young child I remember spooning tablespoons of sugar on the top and then watching as it soaked up the milk - must have been about 50g extra sugar carbs as well as the Weetabix and milk 😱

Have you tried Oatibix? I don't get a spike, but I only have one. This is what I had yesterday.

Breakfast: 1 Oatibix, Tesco no added salt and sugar Swiss muesli (total carbs 25g), ground flaxseeds, soya milk, handful of Brazils

Snack while out as Blood sugar was 4: Slimming World snack bar - 14g carbs, spiked me! I was looking for a low carb low GI snack in Superdrug and this was the best I could find.

Lunch: Piece of cheese. Small salad with pumpkin seeds and grated Parmesan, Shape yoghurt, small banana. I got a spike from the banana yesterday so I went straight out for a walk afterwards. Spike was coming down at 2 hours but I wasn't happy with the 11.3 after one hour.

Dinner: Large salad with quorn slices, low carb pitta bread, small portion strawberries with a low carb waffle (bought these by mistake from low carb megastore - the're only low in carbs because a) they're small and b) they contain sugar alcohols. Won't be getting those again)

I never remember to mention what I drink - quite a bit: mainly tea with skimmed milk, but also in this hot weather I'm drinking a lot of sugar free Ribena.
 
I can't eat porridge without a mammoth spike but am ok with Weetabix. Normally would go for eggs, but I if need to be out and about early I revert to Weetabix out of laziness.
 
I'm amazed at how good you all are! Some very restrained diets.

Yesterday skipped breakfast, lunch was a tongue and tomato sandwich on Burgen S&L + a WW fromage frais.
At lunchtime I asked hubby how he wanted me to prepare the squid I'd got out of the freezer for dinner and he responded "fried calamari". I pointed out that we didn't have anything to fry food in.... then I gave in and bought a deep fat fryer in Argos for ?14.49 so we had fried calamari & oven chips, raspberries, strawberries & Blueberries. I may live to regret this purchase.

I suspect we're not a very representative sample. I'm having a good run at the moment because I'm unstressed, on holiday, and trying very hard to lose some weight. If I wasn't, I wouldn't be posting what I eat as I would feel too disgusted with myself!

I hadn't realised I didn't post Friday's - not sure I'm remembering everything but this is the general gist:

Breakfast: porridge with ground flaxseeds, cinnamon, and sugar-free maple syrup (just a drizzle)

Lunch: Salad with pumpkin seeds and light salad cheese, Shape yoghurt

Dinner: Indian takeaway: half of two vegetable side dishes: mushroom bhaji and dall samber, with three poppadums and one small chunk of my husband's nan bread to mop up (yum). 3 Thornton's chocolates. Half a bottle of Sauvignon blanc.

Saturday was a weird day as we had the workmen in replacing the windows, so there was a bit of grazing going on!

Breakfast: 9-bar and some walnuts
Lunch - not really lunch, but over the course of the day I snacked on some cheese, some soya nuts, a Nak'd bar.
Dinner - tried out a local tapas restaurant we'd never noticed before. Did not know the portion sizes so ordered three - two would have done!
Mushrooms in garlic, Spanish omelette, empanadillas with spinach, cheese and pine nuts, large glass of rosado. Dosed for 60g carbs and it was spot on! After all these years maybe I'm getting the hang of carb-guessing!
