Sugar crash rollercoaster

[PheonixJo]

I appear to be on a rollercoaster of sugar crashes, in turn making me hungry quite intensely, got example I had eaten an apple and half hour or less felt absolutely starving, and I feel the same with most things I eat, I eat satsumas, apples, yogurt, low fat crisps, sandwiches, low fat foods hoe can I change my diet to change this?

I need to cut carbs?

now, I really am confused, they are saying a breakfast of bacon, egg and toms and coffee is better for you than porridge and a cup of tea ? and also fruit and veg should be less than 130g a day? And counting calories is useless? Have I misread it, or is everything I understood to be correct is wrong?

I see what you mean now Caz28, we were just talking about that report, good that Hidden has also flagged it up. But there is definitely a lot of controversy about it.

Hi Pheonixjo,

Maybe have a look at this link to see if any of the snack choices might give you a few ideas to try?

Personally I would have sliced apple with some peanut butter for example - or fruit with a few nuts, and then you are relatively satiated with that kind of combination?

Just see if anything appeals. Try different things and see what works for you.

Hello PheonixJo

Whilst I find it difficult to go as low as 130g carbs I do find protein helps keep me full for longer, ie egg for breakfast, (with wholemeal toast) then nuts/lentils/hummus for lunch 😊

Having made a concerted effort to reduce sugar in my diet I find that together with eating regularly I have mostly emiminated sweet cravings 😊

Good luck 😊

I find if I eat better and more protein for my 3 main meals a day, I don't need snacks. Eg porridge for breakfast, salmon or egg or bean salad for lunch, that keeps me going til tea time. Almonds is a good snack, or I make tea loaf or banana bread which are also filling. I try and avoid 'empty' cals like crisps. That works for me, so maybe look at your food diary and see if you can tweak your plan.

sorry misread it thought it meant 130g only of fruit and veg!
