Occasionally I lapse (Yep, I am looking at you Chinese from last evening!) but I have had to force myself to engage with foods outside of what is already a narrow diet. I had a sweet tooth. Now I don't eat sweets/cakes/pastries. Yes of course you need willpower but if I can do it then so can anyone.My restricted diet has shrunk further because I have lost the aforementioned sweet things as well as potatoes, pasta etc but it has had to grow in other areas eg full fat yogurt, double cream, celery, kale- none of which I enjoy in the slightest but they are a means to an end.There is large range of meat and fish out there and you have been helpfully pointed in the direction of dietdoctor so do check that out.Just don't give up on yourself.</blockquote>
