Welcome to the forum.The plate method would come very well.You will find many references on the Internet.It is about eating in "all" meals in "all" around 40% CH, 30% proteins and 30% non -saturated fats.More or less.You can climb proteins and lower % of fats.Or climb a little % of ch.You just have to learn the composition of what you eat regularly and avoid prosecuted and saturated fats.And TB CH of rapid absorption.Eat many vegetables.

For example, fried potatoes are a Ch and saturated fat pump.The store juices another Rapida absorption pump.You have to avoid the maximum.I spend a link that I hope it serves you.

But remember to exercise.You don't have to diet.That is a mistake in my opinion, but eating healthily on a regular basis and exercising (3 to 4 days per week).And start patience, you will see the results, little by little.

All the best

Wow I really liked the link on the issue of nutritional information, today I learned about how to read the labels, the theme of sugar that preferably should be 0 or maximum 5 grams.

As for eating cassava, potatoes,? How many grams should you eat?

Hello, I'm very happy that it serves you!

I have a Colombian friend and the cassava and the yam sound to me but they are not consumed here.So I prefer not to give you advice.Look on the Internet how many grams of CH they have.Look on several website because it usually vary and sign it.Then each person assimilates them differently.

As a general suggestion, procure that in total in a meal do not exceed 50 gr of ch.But it's a suggestion!At dinner little.I only take about 20 gr of ch.The dinners make them very very light and if you can 2 to 3 hours before sleeping.For example, I ceno about 120 gr of chicken or fish with 180 gr of vegetables and two slices of comprehensive roasted bread (10 gr of CH) and a piece of fruit (another 10 gr of CH).Breakfast and food make them much more powerful.

Remember, the important thing and the most difficult thing is regularity.When you eat a dish look at it and think: I'm eating?I have too many CH?saturated fats?And if you have doubts, be curious, look on the Internet the composition of food.And little by little you will learn.

If you eat balanced (forget about the diet) and exercise regularly (walking for example is great) I assure you that in a few months you will notice.You have to be patient.And be constant.That's all.And I hope it improves and the insulin resistance is reduced (type II diabetes).

All the best
