Part of the problem with your original breakfast is that it might not have been enough food/points. Try adding a cup of berries to the cereal. How much cereal and milk are you having? It should be around 1 cup each with a cup of berries. That should fill you up for a lot longer. Is Puffins cereal without sugar? Without sugar. The Puffins are 1 point and the milk is 2 points. I usually have 1 cup each. I would also add a salad or raw veggies to your lunch. You don't seem to be having your 5 fruits and veggies. Getting those in every day will help keep you full. I load up on veggies at dinner. Sometimes have a salad in the afternoon. I'm lucky that I'm home from work by 1 pm each day. Fruit doesn't mix well with my diabetes. Especially citrus. I do try and eat at least one fruit a day. A banana or peach or something. I avoid them now as much as possible. I have 1 standard lunch that is a boca burger on a roll. Tried Boca burgers but didn't like them. siDetRaked |

The Puffins are 1 point and the milk is 2 points. I usually have 1 cup each. Here's what I found about Puffins: Puffins, Original Each Box Contains: 12 oz. (340g) Crunchy, lightly sweetened corn pillows made from all-natural ingredients. Ingredients: Yellow Corn Flour, Corn Bran Flour, Unsulphured Molasses, Oat Flour, Expeller Pressed High Oleic Oil (Canola and/or Sunflower), Salt, Baking Soda, Natural Vitamn E, Vitamin C. Are you doing the Core program? If you are then these are NOT core. They have molassesa and other flours that might be your triggers. Try switching to puffed rice, puffed wheat cereal, shredded wheat or oatmeal. These don't have the trigger stuff in them. Add the banana to the cereal to help fill you up. Banana's seem to stick with me longer than other fruits. I would also add a salad or raw veggies to your lunch. You don't seem to be having your 5 fruits and veggies.

I know my neighbor said she could not figure out how to do WW with her diabetes. If you can do it, more power to you. I avoid them now as much as possible. I have 1 standard lunch that is a boca burger on a roll. Tried Boca burgers but didn't like them. My husband doesn't even like the smell of them. I think this is one food that people either like or don't. There are other low point burgers out there besides the boca ones. These don't bother me at all so I have not tried anothers. |

This is a good thread. I'm going to pay more attention to this. I think bread and chips
are my trigger foods. I notice when I eat more fruits, veggies and proteins I don't get so many cravings. If I have bread or chips I want to keep eating. I have to tell myself to stop and wait , drink some water and after a few minutes the craziness goes away. Last night I didn't stop and wait and messed up my points. The kids wanted waffles for dinner and I gave in. I planned my dinner, 2 lowfat nutrigrain waffles, banana and yogurt, no butter and no sugar syrup. I ate it and then the craziness took over. I ate 3 more waffles with butter. I did so good all day. I had a lowfat english muffin for breakfast with 1tsp peanut butter and a banana with milk. Lunch was a baked potato with salsa,tomato,ff sour cream and a small salad no dressing. For me it really is like another person takes over and I just want to EAT! It's not all of the time but just sometimes like last night. ---------- Diana 2004 Total Layouts: 70 OZ Challenge: 173/165.2/105 |

The Puffins are 1 point and the milk is 2 points. I usually have 1 cup each. WW is fine for diabetics as long as you choose foods that don't shoot your sugar high. I've gleaned a lot from the diabetes newsgroups, and the trick for me has been to eat only whole foods and cut down on processed ones--and avoid low-fat and fat-free ones (except dairy, which is fine), because the replacements are generally also carbs that diabetics still react to. Since Puffins are highly processed and full of sugar (molasses), they mess with my sugar, too, since milk is also high carb. Focusing on whole instead of processed grains helps me a lot. I am fine with Puffed Kashi or oatmeal (especially the 5 minute kind), and I can add 1/4 fruit to it for sweetness. I also eat a raw veggy and drink a pint of water before breakfast--usually cherry tomatoes or carrots. That seems to help. Combining foods helps me, too. Eating a fat or a protein at breakfast, for example, slows digestion and keeps the carbs from affecting the body at once. Always drinking a lot of water with carbs helps keep carbs in the bloodstream longer. I'm a diabetic newby, and still learning, but I've figured out how to control my blood sugar by just reading, experimenting, and testing a lot. Here's a site I got from a diabetes newsgroup that has helped me a lot (talks about the latest food pyramid research and includes discussion of diabetics): http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritio.../pyramids.html Good luck! pc |
