    White wine & soda?

    I am able to drink wine and soda, I tend to go for some of the low alcohol ones that have low sugar too, but I only drink them occasionally, I'm practically tee-total these days, and don't miss it at all.

    Just a couple of squares...

    I have just discovered that Bourneville do bags of large dark chocolate buttons, I have 8 and suck them slowly so they last, a bag will last a week or 2 as I don't have them every night :)

    Diet Coke And Diabetes 2

    I only drink them if out and I just don't fancy a cup of tea or water, no harm in the odd one or two, but I would get a headache and feel bloated if I had more than that or on a regular basis.

    Slimming World

    I found that losing weight was easier by low carbing, slimming world was a good platform for me many years ago and I chose not to fill up on 'free' carb foods, but focused on the speed foods, especially vegetables and berries, you can make it work for you if you need the discipline of attending...

    Drinks out with a curry

    I tend to go for a gin with lots of slimline tonic, ice and a slice, but alternate with water (we alwasy get a jug on the table), I don't eat naan, rice or poppadums, just extra salad with mine.

    Do I have to stop drinking soda drinks completely?

    I tend to only drink them (a zero sugar/diet one at that) if out and am designated driver, I don't mind soda with lemon slices but sometimes just want a different taste, luckily I don't have a reaction to the artificial sweeteners that others do, and only a couple (3 max) as I find I get bloated...

    Type 2 No pasta, rice or potato? what instead?

    I make cauiflower rice in the blender, spiralize courgettes if I feel the need for the texture (I often don't and just have extra meat and veggies) :)

    I have gallstones and am waiting for my gallbladder to be removed, my consultant said it was because I followed a LCHF diet, but being Tye 2 diabetic, this helped to reduce my blood sugar levels down enough to come off medication, I struggled with this as I felt like I couldn't do right for...
