[QUOTE="Deleted member 475901, post: 2317315"] When I was diagnosed and went low carb instead of more medications added in with all the ones I was already taking I concentrated on the key triggers for me. Finding good substitutes for those made going low carb much easier. I can't face eggs first thing. or cooking breaking, so finding a low carb breakfast instead of my usual all high carb choices was a major issue. I finally weaned myself off by mixing milled flaxseed and chia seeds with oats then reducing the amount of oats each week, I have a very sweet tooth so the next was to find alternatives for cakes and milk chocolate - my main treat now is real greek yogurt with fresh raspberries, and a couple of squares of 85% chocolate or a sugar free version with stevia. I have either a small slice of low carb bread a few times a month or make microwave bread with ground almonds. I didn't eat many potatoes but did have rice most nights - cauliflower rice is a reasonable substitute but I prefer the version made in the oven. I grate cauliflower then bake it for about 10-11 mins at 180 degrees. At that point it still has a bite, and can be put in the fridge or frozen, then stir fried or microwaved. There are lots of recipes for alternatives for bread, chips, mash, cakes and biscuits - almost anything! And some lovely subs to make Christmas low carb but nice. [/QUOTE]
