Low carb and SW advice please

[Peridot]

I want to give SW a go but is there a way I can do a low carb version? I am diabetic and need to keep my blood sugars down by limiting my carbs.

thank you

Yes, you don't need to eat a lot of carbs. They're a free food item on the list but you're not obliged to eat them.

I have been low carb whilst still having SW meals. Best thing I ever did.

If you don't already have it, you should get a book called "Carbs and Cals" - horrible abbreviations but a useful book!

It gives carbohydrate, calorie, protein and fat content of many foods, in a picture format.

Then you just choose the lower-carbohydrate foods from the SW lists. It is up to you to choose what you want from the free foods lists - nothing is obligatory.

As PregnantSW said you aren't obliged to eat the carbs, although it is a 'free' food that personally helps me not to be hungry, which is key to me staying on the wagon lol

Slimming World's Extra Easy SP plan is light on carbs.

If you go to group they also have a booklet about doing SW with diabetes so it's perfectly possible
