[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 1018309, member: 209498"] Hi [USER=245830]@kerrydoo[/USER] and welcome to the Forum! You need to cut out sugar as much as possible. I used to drink tea with two sugars 5-6 times a day (plus biscuits). I don't use sugar now, but one spoon of granulated sweetener instead. And I have started drinking green tea more, usually with some sort of fruit or herbal infusion and I have got to like them. Cereals aren't good as they are largely carbohydrates which turn to sugar in your body. I don't eat breakfast myself, but forum members recommend eating bacon, eggs and mushrooms instead. Or you could eat low carb bread/toast. LIDL High Protein rolls or Burgen Soya and Linseed bread are low carb, and nice toasted. Sweets made with sugar need to be avoided. You can buy non sugar sweets instead. Sula and Ricola make non sugar sweets, and can be bought at many supermarkets or online. I like Sula mint humbugs, Ricola elderflower sweets and Werthers non sugar butterscotch candies. But don't eat too many - they do contain around 3 carbs per sweet which does add up if you eat a lot. As you cut down on sugar you will find you miss it less and less. [/QUOTE]
