[QUOTE="CherryAA, post: 1648679, member: 327005"] It does take a while to get your head around what you can and can't eat, but once you do , you find there are some lovely foods. Its also nice that more and more restaurants are starting to recognise the need to tailor foods for their customers. I ate at an Italian restaurant last week. I started with the liver pate, but asked them to replace the toast with a bed of fresh spinach and some olive oil. I then had a steak and had them replace the chips with kale cooked in garlic and butter . All of the items were already on the menu just in different combinations . They swapped things out very easily, no fuss, no extra charges. The trick in terms of snacks is in finding new things to create new traditions and also to appreciate that you can indeed have a cup of tea and a bun but it has to be a very occasional treat not a daily thing. It will get better. [/QUOTE]
