[QUOTE="RFSMarch, post: 2321564, member: 410451"] My biggest challenge when I was first diagnosed was remembering to take my glasses with me so I could read the labels and then recoil in horror at the amount of carbs in stuff! I find googling low carb alternatives for your previous favourites also really helps - all kinds of inventive alternatives out there, that you can normally find in a UK supermarket. Although admittedly to do this you might need to roll up your sleeves and get happy in the kitchen! I am usually seen speed-lurking around the veggie aisles, just one step away from trolley-coasting as I drive-by-grab my veg for the next couple of weeks - I spiralise courgettes for a pasta alternative, thinly slice cabbage to replace noodles, blitz cauliflower occasionally for 'egg fried rice' alternatives or for a mushroom risotto... Full fat greek yoghurt, plenty of flax/chia seed sprinkle alternatives, eggs? Tons in a supermarket to help diabetics for breakfast, lunch and dinner. What is it you were specifically after? [/QUOTE]
