    not really hun coz GI is a way of ranking carbohydrates according to how rapidly they impact blood glucose... so a lower GI food like wholewheat spaghetti might affect blood sugar less rapidly than white rice, but both are still high in terms of carb content... lol if that makes any sense?

    Sxx


    Yes makes sense thanks, I've got information overload and OH is bored with my ramblings, advice and telling him what's NOT good for him. Left to his own devices he'd live on beans, fry ups and sweets and chocolate :eek::eek:

    TMI alert - as mentioned i drink black decaf tea but in a big half litre beaker
    ive had 6 today so 3 litres -yet my pee is really yellow like morning pee
    i thought if you had clear fluids it counted towards your water - no water today as no exercise and too cold

    so bit confused really

    Hello to all you new people havn't been on my lap top for 2 days and i cant beleive how many new threads since i last looked ,are you all on line at work? I decided to give the lowcarbing a rest this week as felt cold and miserable thats only lasted 2 days calorie counting was so boring and i felt hungry all the time . Got back on form today and feel a wee bit better .Always have been hooked on weighing myself a lot cant see it can hurt there worse things to be addicted to have even weighed in middle of the night and hubbie saw me on the scales had to pretend i was trying to stand on scales to reach bathroom window how sad :confused:

    Wow, I only went shopping and this thread has grown by another 10 meters:eek:

    Shykins, glad you enjoyed your chips:). How about for an omlette (or am I too late now and you've found something to eat)? I love omlette at any time of day:D . I forgot about the hunger bit on atkins. I started back on induction a week last monday and I was absolutely ravenous all last Thursday and eating omlette at 23.45!!!!!!!;)

    My meal plan;
    B- scrambled egg and mushrooms
    L- Ham omlette
    S- Cottage pie (topped with cauliflower instead of potatoe).

    And lots of water and decaf coffee
    If you think nobody cares whether you're alive or dead, try missing a couple of mortgage payments.:whistle:

    My way is Atkins;)
