[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 141972, member: 1697"] what are sultanas? All the rice and rice even puffed has high gylycemic, so I was trying to steer clear. I LOVE Greek salad, YUM! I have no idea what my blood sugar is doing, gonna call to have doctor Rx a meter so I can check it.... I FINALLY got the paperwork re diet docs office said they would send me last monday, got it yesterday- one page of a sample diet of 1800 calories! Not at all what they said by phone! I could not believe when I read it! Mayonnaise every day at lunch! 12 saltines at a time nearly every day. Ice cream for a snack twice in the week? Canned soup? WHEW so much sodium! and they sent NOTHING else, just this one page of this 1800 calorie sample dit. Yesterday I went to grocery, to see what I might find. I decided to TRY shredded wheat, very plain, nothing added at all, I also had raw spinach ..... UG! I was nervous about so much pure wheat, and then also realized spinach is high is oxates? oxaalates? (coontributes to uric acid/gout) um, somethinng....DANG! I woke up with some of the worst symptoms in my joints that I have had in well over a year! I had 1/2 cup of shredded wheat, and about 1 cup raw spinach, 4 ounces of plain nonfat yogurt, and 2 ounces of fish. and an apple, for the whole day yesterday. (I was in and out running errands with the kids etc and moving furniture etc and grabbbbed what I could munch while driving in the car etc- so I was worried about over eating wrong, so opted to be sure to not over eat and I overcompensated) I am only on day 6 of this- and I am quite frustrated. I have not dropped a single ounce yet at all. I never dieted before of any kind of diet, not ever. My blood pressure has not changed at all. I had a couple peices of walnuts the other day on some oatmeal- I did not like them. was sorry I had put them on, altho almonds are OK. So, the cereal bread fiber thing still has me so confused. wheat and corn are high allergens, and it does look like I might have to be careful with wheat, and corn is so high glycemic and so much starch? and rice things are also high glycemic. Yesterday when I fed PCs rabbit (while she is still in Ireland) I thought well dang, maybe I should eat rabbits alflfa hay and timothy cubes? Maybe instead of mowing the lawn, I should munch at it instead? I am so confused and so frustrated already, I do not like haveing unuseable joints. knees ankles and wrists and thumbs. ACK! Makes me wanna sit and cry. I sure hope I can figure out what I CAN eat soon! And yeah, I get full so fast, I drag the food around with me all day it seems, picking at it half heartedly---becuz I think if I ate any less, my body would rebel even harder. Eating used to be such a happy thing for me, social and kind of fun.....now it is like a full time job or something, and quite unpleasant and I feel right now like I would just rather not bother at all. :-( [/QUOTE]
