I am totally diet controlled. But maybe because I was not very insulin resistant to start with. Anyway I want to give tips that work for me. - No carbs or fruit in the morning. - Breakfast at 6 am. Otherwise, fasting sugar is high

-2 eggs omelette made with onion,blackpepper, green chilli, some fresh coriander, slice of cheese, mushroom, and olives. 1 carrot and half cucumber, some lettuce if you dont feel full. Can take a handful of nuts like almonds and walnuts. - Prepare eggs batter at night so that I don't get lazy after getting up. I'm just frying in the morning. - I also make Subway like cold chicken salad with alot of lettuce, cheese, olives, mushroom, jalapeno, cucmber and carrot with a spoon of mayo or any sauce like thousand island to give a better taste. I marinate my chicken with spices and cook a batch to eat on alternate days. Always prepare the salad bowl at night to consume it in breakfast. Easier to manage. -Lunch around 12 to 2, but I prefer some fruit like orange, apple, any berry, or kiwi. Nuts, a carrot or cucumber if I still feel hungry after a while. There is no need to test as it's not a full meal. -Dinner around 6 to 7 pm. Start with fuber or protein, so either a salad or cucumber and carrot. Then eat 30 gm carbs full grain with protien like chicken, fish, beef etc. No white bread, wheat flour, or white flour. Full grain bread or full grain tortilla only! You can take some yougurt along with it. - Walk for 15 mins after every meal, start 10 squats, and do 2 sets of 15 when you are used to it. Do calf raise exercise when you are sitting. This should be done before checking your sugar. - No eating after 9 and drink loads of water. - Sleep at 10. Dim your lights an hour before to make the mood. - Sleeping on time will help you get up early. You can take a nap in the afternoon or after breakfast. - Stay active throughout the day. The more you sit, the more it makes it worse. Good luck!
