[QUOTE="Canicant, post: 2411507, member: 469044"] I did LCHF when first diagnosed and with the help of the good folks on this forum i lost 5 stone and got my bloods back in the normal range which was brilliant, then i went on a family holiday and thought sod it i'll eat what everyone else is having just for the week. Surprise surprise 6 months later i'd put 3 stone back on and the meter was off the scale again, it was a **** sight harder to get back on the wagon and a lot worse than when i first started out, with the help of a loving wife i'm now on one meal a day and actually enjoying the varied diet i now have and really enjoy what i eat and i think the key is being inventive with your meal plans. I often have shepherds pie but change the potato topping for swede and celeriac mash (yes potatoes taste better) but the alternative tastes great too (i also drown it in mint sauce which helps) My biggest gripe is that supermarkets and restaurants just don't cater for diabetic needs, which is why i prefer to prepare my own meals. My Dads old mantra of 'eat to live not live to eat' still holds true. edit: i don't know why the forum struck out a word that wasn't a swear word and was quite innocent, oh well! [/QUOTE]
