[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2361706, member: 6467"] I seem to be heading in the opposite direction from most. Coffee and cream and butter in the morning is essential to set me up for the rest of the day. I should eat more nuts but I never get the urge. If I was offered some I might have a few but although the larder has loads I never feel the urge to get some. Things I will give up for February: beer. I love a bottle of beer (green Geko from Lidl) but it plays havoc with my BG levels sometimes. I will refrain from fish and chips. An experiment suggested that I could get away with the occasional F&C but occasional is hard to define. :arghh: I will not have the gorgeous Waitrose roasties in goose fat with roast joints. Bread - no. I have some LC and Lizza breadalikes but my enthusiasm for them is not great. I won't sample a bit of my partner's pizza; better to avoid completely. Equally no little tasters of pasta or rice. [You will be noting at this stage that a good few things have been let slip over Xmas.] I am reducing the amount of dark chocolate that I eat but if I get my lazy self into gear I will make chocolate truffles with butter and double cream. Treats are important when restrictions bite. What I will do is eat to my Libre and be especially strict if my BG starts to creep up even if it leaves me grumpy and hungry. Wine and spirits are still fine, just no beer. I haven't had a drink of tea in ages; perhaps I should try a green tea. I like coffee but drinking it after noon is not usually a good idea. I will try and bulk out the meat and cheese with more eggs and especially more veggies. Good luck, everyone. [/QUOTE]
