[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2075719, member: 401801"] No idea what was in the sausages (high meat content yes or no), but you could always ditch the bread. People and restaurants would rather you decline bread than having to throw it out. So in case you go to a restaurant (or friends), just request bread or potatoes to be left out, and replaced with more veggies, salad or meat. Restaurants are very accomodating, and if you let your friends know beforehand it'll make their shopping a little easier. McDonalds, Five Guys, Burger King and places like that will gladly serve you a bunless burger for instance. They won't bat an eye at the request. The restaurant around the corner knows me by now and the kitchen always makes me an amazing little side salad with no extra charge. I tip the heck out of that place. :) It's a bit of an adjustment, and my family and friends now kind of know what I can and can't eat, but sometimes they'll asl just to be sure... I'm fine not eating birthday cake and fasting through a party, but I do appreciate it if there's cheese and/or walnuts or something. Not because I crave anything, but because people tend to feel guilty if they can't offer you anything, haha. But do yourself a favour and don't mess about with your insulin and such before you talk to your doctor AND have a good grasp of what a T2-friendly diet entails, [I]exactly[/I]. Don't risk your health. [/QUOTE]
