Great tip on McDonald's! Been cooking lots of eggs this weekend so thank you

Thank you, I definitely identity with a carb addiction and have also had more bad days than good. Made an effort to eat lots of eggs this weekend and dusted off the couch to 5k app so feeling a bit more motivated. Good luck

Thanks for the tip on McDonald's! Great idea, after learning more about low carb this is definitely something I can do when I am stuck.

Thank you, sorry I should have added that after 2 years of buying it myself I was grateful to get it on prescription now
