and as silly as it looks even steps on the spot count, 10-15 mins of steps on the spot can make a difference aswell as a big glass of water
Proteins and fat! I also couldn’t tolerate cereal at all, but eggs, full fat Greek yoghurt and some fruit, apples and peanut butter (as long as 100% peanuts not a sugary one) and cheese were my saviours. Also things like pre cooked chicken and cocktail sausages as snacks. Not the healthiest in calories but I don’t feel full anyway if I’m not having carbs so while I made my meals healthy and good I needed my snacks to fill me up.
Fruit spikes the glucose, just eat protein and fiber, and so smalls amounts of carbohydrates if you want, but really low amounts, you can eat cheese, it doesn't spikes sugar, eggs, veggies, cucumber was my best friend at every meal, eat a lot of salads, apple vinegar is good to control sugar levels, there's "Slendier Edamame Bean Organic Spaghetti", that pasta don't spikes your sugar, I eat a lot of Mince in tomato sauce with that pasta and parmesan cheese, and it didn't spikes my sugar, check everything, even if say low carb check and don't get things over 40g of carbohydrates, 20h is amazing, you can also eat nuts, apples, pineapple but not big amounts
So a jacket potato and beams would technically be a double carb and beans (even the reduced sugar) are quite sugary and is the fruit and fibre the cereal or the bar? I basically couldn't tolerate cereal at all Think of it as a carb intolerance, you can have a little bit not a lot, and try to pair up your carbs, so have the jacket potato but have it with tuna, chicken mayo, cheese (protein). Most people have a lower tolerance for carbs in the morning. My breakfast were usually egg based, omlette, scrambled egg on a whole meal sandwich thin I really recommend this page i found it so helpful https://www.gestationaldiabetes.co.uk/ I hope that help a little bit
