Sorry I haven’t replied before, been very busy so not much time for internet activities.
As to my diet, just a standard diet most I cook from scratch but it can include junk food, such as fish and chips, the odd Chinese, Indian and maccyD but the latter is a very rare event I must admit.. I’m not a great fruit eater unless it’s in a yogurt, pie or crumble..
I do enjoy chocolate again this tends to be either as a mousse, ice-cream or a wafer rather than a chocolate bar and more related to what activity I’m doing, such as a kitkat before agility training with the dogs, or a stint of gardening…
I do eat pudding, apple crumbles and cakes, if I do then it’s generally as a meal on its, two reasons for this I’m not a big eater and I wasn’t brought up accustomed to having a desert after a main meal, unless it was a special occasion such as Easter or Christmas day… I don’t do a lot of eating out as I find that portions being served are way too big for me and I end up feeling guilty leaving half a plate or more of food.. Hence why I love any do that has a buffet rather than a sit down meal…
In the main I haven’t really changed my diet to pre-diabetic days, did have to stop sugar in my coffee (never had it in tea) and of cause if I ever drink fizzy it’s diet version nowadays. And of cause from the very beginning learning to count carbs in my foods, but otherwise no real changes…
But I think that eating habits before being diagnosed has for me been helpful, as I ate healthy, cooked most foods from scratch etc..
I’ve pretty lucky as I not a big eater so my portions do tend to be on small size to what a lot of people consider the norm. But I’ve always been like this perhaps that’s the secret of my success a natural disposition of eating to my needs and not overload my body with quantities with food that it doesn’t need!
