[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1634928, member: 429870"] You mention binning your granola. I found out I have a problem with diabetes in August and you should just see the number of cartons and boxes of X-rated high carb food still cluttering my house. All to be sorted - to bin, food bank, friends, compost heap ... Sadly, I am the kind of thrifty person who knows what they like and buys stocks in whenever they are on offer. Big mistake! And of course it's always our favourite foods that are off the menu - in my case fruit. However, to my great surprise, having been reduced to eating those despised vegetables, now there's not much else I have somehow found a taste for them and I'm really enjoying these very different meals. I do think reducing carbs has improved my sense of taste. Plus, it's not hard to enjoy tea and coffee with double cream, omelettes cooked with butter, butter on my fish, mayonnaise on my lettuce - all off the menu in my previous low fat high carb life. You will find lots of recipe suggestions if you dig around a bit on this forum. Indeed you hardly have to dig, perhaps we are even a little obsessed with food, we talk about it all the time! [/QUOTE]
