[QUOTE="Phoenix55, post: 1477603, member: 242273"] Use your meter to test after eating and keep a food diary recording [U]everything[/U] that you eat, measured in units that are easy for you. Personally I count the number of berries I eat and know roughly how many of each sort I can eat. It is not so much the fresh food that you crave but the carbs, try more salads during the summer and on cooler days mediterranean vegetables, courgettes, sweet peppers, onions and tomatoes. Lots of fresh food there but fewer carbs. You will find that you have at least as much energy as you have now, your body may complain about the reduction for a few days but stick with it and you will shake the craving. Aim to lose about a pound a week but exercise more to keep all areas of your body toned. If you don't win the challenge this year so be it you will be laughing next January! [/QUOTE]
