Shakes and the Blood Sugar Diet

Hi,

I've just finished reading the BSD book and want to start asap but I have a few issues I'm hoping someone can help me with please.

I work 12hr shifts, days and nights so there's no way I'll have time to do the all-food BSD and will need shakes for convenience. The problem is the book doesn't list one recipe for a shake nor does it say what carb/sugar gram count I need to be below per serving.

I have a shake which I bought a couple of weeks ago (before I heard about the BSD on MN) but per serving it seems to be too high in sugar.

Has anyone doing the diet found a good over-the-counter shake or do any of you have recipes for one or even overnight oats? I'm ideally looking for something which will come to 3 x 200cal servings so I can work a full 12hr busy shift and not be starving or weak. I tend to get hypo's regularly though I'm not diabetic and I think they're carb driven.

Any help or advice greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Could you make soups instead or get organised and make several portions of something at once and divide it into containers to take to work? You can hard-boil eggs and have those with ham, cheese, salad (buy a bag or tub of ready prepared), etc. Take a stack of veg sticks and a tub of houmous, etc. It needn't be difficult.
