Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
Yes, I do like alliteration.

"However, Aisling Pigott, a registered dietician, and spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association (BDA), is critical.
"Bulletproof coffee is not something I'd ever recommend, because it's introducing extra calories and extra fat in a way that isn't providing any other nutritional value," she says.
"There is no benefit to adding butter to your coffee. With a Bulletproof coffee-based breakfast you're missing out on what you're getting from a food-based breakfast - there is no protein, vitamins or minerals."

Nope - no vitamins or protein there!
I wonder what it takes to be "a registered dietitian, and spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association (BDA)"?
I don't think that minerals are normally listed in nutritional information but ICBW.
Seriously, though; describing butter (the concentrated goodness of milk which is amazingly nutritious), as "of no benefit" does smack of a very political slant to nutrition.
