I thought I would also spot the good things, which are: milk, cheese (small quantities and get the real thing not processed cr*p which has no nutritional value) and the subway (not all that good unless you had lots of veg).

Alternatives:
Brown bread (be careful not all bread born equal)/Pasta/Rice/Spaghetti, Noodles, Fruit, Veg, Meat, Bran, Oats and Nuts

But all is not lost: healthy diet = little bit of everything, including the bad stuff and the green stuff. Take up a sport that you enjoy and eat more protein, that way you will gain muscle mass = weight, helping you control your bg in the long run.

couldnt agree more....eat well with your focus on fresh fruit and veg, lean mean, plenty of lentils and pulses, healthy fats such as olive oil, avocados, oily fish, but NEVER deprive yourself of a little of what you enjoy, you will be miserable....
