[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 794966, member: 93179"] Another "vote" for the [URL='http://www.xperthealth.org.uk/shop/details/p/handbook-lowcarb-highfat-lifestyle']Trudi Deakin Eat Fat book[/URL] suggested by [USER=85197]@zand[/USER] and [USER=91575]@Ian DP[/USER] . It will give you a good and simply explained guide to starting off on a low carb high(er) fat diet and also includes food lists and a few recipes. It's a useful guide to have around, and one I would have found useful when I was starting off. I'd also recommend getting yourself a glucose meter if you haven't got one already, so you can see how various foods (low carb or not!) impact on your pre and post meal levels, and modify your new diet and shopping list accordingly. IMO a meter and the Deakin book are probably two of the most useful "weapons" in your war against diabetes. Have a good look around the rest of the low carb area, as there's a good selection of members' recipes, and the "What have you eaten today" thread can give you some idea of what sort of things we eat on this style of diet.
