[QUOTE="busydiabeticmum, post: 1539556, member: 160151"] A nice "treat" would be natural yoghurt (about 4g of carb in 100g depending on brand) with a few strawberries, raspberry, blueberries, or even a spoon of peanut butter (if you're not allergic). When I first went low carb I replaced the things I was craving for with low carb alternative which TBH I think is where sweeteners do come in. There is a 90% chocolate bar which I used to make chocolate mousse which didn't hurt bgl... chocolate was a bit bitter so I did add some sweetner. At meal times I made "muffins" to eat instead of bread... I found a recipe which used almond flour and added cheese, onion, garlic, olives, herbs and spices to make it nicer than the bread I was used to. Pregnancy though makes it harder to find the energy to give you this push to actually make something, it also can be a bit expensive as the unhealthy food is generally a lot cheaper to buy and quicker to prepare.... and us preggers have other stuff we want to spend our money on (like cute little outfits, buggies, cots, carseat etc and they are NOT cheap items) I just splashed out on a treat which was some prawns! They have gone really expensive now... and no way am I sharing! ;) [/QUOTE]
