    A couple pro tips for maintaining blood sugars.
    - Always eat your fats and your proteins WITH your carbs and it will slow down the absorption of the carbs.
    - Did you have any fat sources on your list? I can't remember.
    - Blood sugars can go wild if you are coming down with something or have inflammation of some sort. If that is going on, the bad sugar numbers may have nothing to do with your diet today.

    Are you a long way from a Sainsbury's or a Tesco? They sell goat milk but not organic, they do goat butter as well. just a thought.

    I too think it would help alot if you could list out what foods you can eat, and what your body does tolerate?

    A few months ago my husband and I were eating basically only organic meat, veggies and fruit, and on a very tight budget because we were both in school and looking for jobs. If you could list what you can eat, we could possibly help you figure out some meals?
    Also your carers, they prepare your meals? Are they aware that you need to lose weight in order to have your surgery? Is there any way you can prepare you own meals? Maybe find 4-5 meals your body can tolerate and just alternate those recipes? It may get boring but it could help alot

    Thank you for your reply.
    Yes, will post the list below of foods definitely okay to eat, however, am using antihistamines right now whilst I figure it out!
    Carers make my food because I cannot, so no there is no way for me to make them however, they know I need to lose weight, I tell them to think of what they need, and half it, or even a third when it comes to starchy vegetables.

    Foods I am okay on:
    Blueberries
    carrots
    celery (half a stick max per meal)
    courgette/zucchini
    pumpkin
    spinach
    sweet potato
    all squashes
    ginger
    ?swede/rutabaga (still to be tested)
    Lamb
    Beef
    Game
    White fish
    Homemade bone broth (using bones from meat above)
    raw honey (maximum 1 tbs a day)
    ?sprouted flax seeds (still to be tested)
    ?sprouted chia seeds (still to be tested)
    ?raw goats milk (still to be sourced affordably, and tested)
    ?goats milk yogurt (still to be sourced affordably, and tested)

    thats my list

    God bless you

    Lots of good protein sources and veggies on this list.

    I always eat fat with carbs and generally proteins too but not carbs alone (fat source is from lamb and beef)
    I cant change the inflammation in my body, my joints dislocate at will so I always have inflammation which is why I have calcification of my tendons etc
    also always seem to have low grade infection but, not one except me is concerned by it hence me taking decision on diet so strictly to help reduce stress from foods I eat and more inflammation
    Hopefully it will pay off

    God bless you

    Thanks for your reply

    There are good proteins, expensive but good, veggies are good too, its keeping to only 100 grams of either carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, swede, squashes per meal, and then some other veggies That often means as my body doesnt cope with a pile of fat due to gallbladder am often at around 700-800 calories if I stick to these foods which is why I am trying to figure a better way as no one can sustain life of health on that level of calories and it would be dangerous to do so Medically told ideal is 1800 for me, not to drop below 1600 calories a day

    I'm sorry if I've missed it before. Can you have cooked cabbage or kale? There are a lot of non-starchy vegetables that don't have to be eaten raw. I've been recently eating precooked mussels. They have been like $3.00-3.50 a pound (two servings) but they are almost purely protein. The ones I had today was listed as 27 grams of protein per serving.

    Ahh I cant have shellfish at all, and yes I tolerate small amounts of chard but not kale or cabbage but oh my that is awfully cheap to get shellfish, would be double that price in UK

    God bless you
