I was hungry at first, but then I learned to use snacks that were nutritious and low calorie and tasted good. If you haven't don't get discouraged, maintaining what you have lost is very positive. When you are ready to work at it again, then give it another try. Read the label for the number of grams of sugar. I would think you would have had some guidance from someone to helpyou do the exchanges, especially if you are on insulin.
Someone explain again about carbs.
Richard - Regarding evening snacks. If you are consistently having AM problems, you would want to talk to a dietician who knows your personal profile , weight, medication regime, exercise plan etc. I will be meeting my new Dr next week and see what she has to say. It is difficult to say how many grams of sugar a day would be OK for you. Sugar is carbohydrate so if you are on 2000 calories, you would be eating approximately 1000 calories per day of carbohydrate, part of which could be sugar.
