    Porridge, grapes and bananas deliver a lot of sugar, unfortunately.

    You are lucky. Many of these courses across the country still convey the 5 fruits and vedge a day mantra. But change is happening. Some fruit is low carb like raspberries and strawberries. Unfortunately mangos and bananas are more potent. Fruit juice and dried fruit are very potent for T2 diabetics.

    Raspberries with Skyr (low fat high protein low carbohydrate) and Raspberry coulis (about 5 grams). The Coulis will be high glycaemic likely, but it is so nice and is a very small part of the sweet.

    Haha. I was going to photograph my own bowl this evening. Looked similar but comprised defrosted forest fruits (raspberries, blackberries, strawberries) full fat greek yoghourt and double cream. No added sugar. I eat loads of it. Virtually carb free.

    I can't stand bananas :) you do know they are radioactive they have their own unit the BED the banana equivalent dose they are harmless though, probably worse to live in Aberdeen or Cornwall and be worrying about the Radon gas :)

    Yeah they do that'd be the potassium-40 the radioactive version ;) :D

    Seriously though they are harmless and probably very good for you, I just don't like the smell or the taste :)

    Raspberries have lots of potassium too.

    For those that are T2 then the humble banana is a problem. This can be verified with a blood glucose test meter.

    So for a T2 and those with pre-diabetes, by avoiding bananas and other foods comprising high carb levels, blood sugar levels are maintained at a healthy level, which is crucial.

    This provides a good guide to carbohydrate levels in various fruits.

    Frozen raspberries, strawberries, blackberries. Double cream and 10% fat Greek yoghourt. Nothing fattening in there. Plenty of protein and fuel with some fibre in the fruit.

    Law of conservation of energy.

    If you had made enough effort in a day to burn 2500 kcal of energy and you had eaten 3000 kcal worth of energy in your food that same day, your net weight will increase, makes no difference what you eat, it's the energy value of the food as your body sees it, it stores the excess and it is easier for it to store the fats directly if your diet is high in fat.

    The reason high protein diets work is that generally people on them eat a bit less.

    Everything you've said about insulin and carbohydrates is true but ultimately weight loss is a result of eating less than you burn in a particular period of time.

    For me the best diet is the diet you can live with, as you say those with Type 2 Diabetes don't have much of a choice, although about 15 years after his first heart attack and being diagnosed Type 2 my brother in law is now off insulin as he has controlled it fully through diet.

    Try the plain Icelandic Skyr sometime I prefer it to standard yoghurts, although I do use yogurt in my Indian cooking, I don't think I could add cream directly to a yoghurt just a bit too much :)
