[QUOTE="Chris24Main, post: 2689897, member: 585131"] Hope you're feeling better looking forward to the long weekend.. I've really resisted offering anyone advice - I don't feel like I'm in any position to do so, but one thing that really worked for me, is recognising that a very low carb diet doesn't need to be no fun... in fact, I'm having things I would always have avoided; double cream, and sausages (I was going to say not in the same meal, but I'm sure I did some stir fry veggies with sausage and turned the sauce creamy at the end just to try; it was lovely) and there are some really terrific high cocoa chocolates - even my local garage shop has a 85% cocoa chocolate that generated zero spike for sugars.. Essentially, I was Jack Sprat - but I'm re-discovering cooking; just mainly skipping the starch.. One really positive thing that we don't hear much of ... adding a little more fat in place of your carbs, makes you feel fuller for longer. [/QUOTE]
