Hello,
Firstly can I start this with the fact that I am in awe of so many on here following such a strict LCHF diet and also to say I am type 2 (we think) healthy bmi/weight. But are there any forum members out there who don't follow such a diet regime? Or at least not such a low carb diet?
You see I am struggling at the moment....a lot and am miserable! I read posts on here where people "never cheat" or fast for days (how? That's amazing!) etc etc but back in my little world I have things that crop up like birthday celebrations, weddings and so on. Every time I even slightly indulge I feel terribly guilt ridden and it's horrible.
So my question is do any of you eat healthy food which does include a some carb? I try to keep away from pasta, rice, bread (but eat low carb bread/ protein roll). I haven't eaten a banana since April or had a glass of fruit juice/fizzy drink or any breakfast cereal. Those restrictions I can cope with but forever? Never having rice with a curry? Never having the odd slice of pizza? Never eating a bit of cake?
I'm not talking mass carb overload here just the odd spoonful of rice or pasta now and again or the odd potato.
I am so glad i did the 800 cal blood sugar diet and also glad I have been low carb but please can I hear from those of you who aren't so obsessed with carbs like I've become?
I probably wont hear from anyone now as you're all go good! But thank you in advance.

I do love your posts (and those of the avocado lady!) I feel like you're the cool kids at school and I'm desperate to be in your in-crowdI eat cake (low carb, which is delicious)

There is low carb bread in about 50 different forms too.

Most of them are a darn sight easier to make than the carby varieties.
I think there is a horrible phase that most of us go through when we first move into low carb. It is all about denial and deprivation and we worrit about all the things that we can't have.
But to be honest, that gets old fast. I've never been into martyrdom
My attitude is to trundle around exploring. Trying new things. Experimenting. I have found some AWESOME snacks, treats and daily snaffles that way - and it turns out that I prefer eating LCHigherF than any of the other ways of eating I have tried.
Didn't happen overnight (understatement!) but I now cheerfully embrace it.
It curls my toes in delight to think that I can eat fab cheeses, stupendous good quality breakfasts like scram eggs with smoked salmon, low carb cinnamon crunch muesli (nicer than Crunchy Nut Cornflakes), low carb porridge, coffee with cream... snacks like chorizo crisps or brie puffs (90 secs in microwave, and nicer than doritos any day!) deserts like choc mousse, fresh berries and cream, creme brulee. I think mashed cauliflower with a handful of cheese in it is FAR nicer than mashed potato, I have learned to mix wasabi, or smoked paprika, or garlic herbs into mayonnaise. I could go on all day, but I won't because I don't want to give the impression that I am totally obsessed with the deliciousness of LCHF food
Edited to add: and lets not forget Fathead pizza. That is nicer than the wheat variety too!
And just 2 weeks ago I learned to use one of those weird little autumnal squash things as a DELICIOUS replacement for a jacket potato. I want to eat those regularly.
