[QUOTE="Finsky, post: 1130221, member: 269388"] Well....actually if you compare carbs vs bacon...I would take bacon anytime (although I don't eat pork:rolleyes:)...bacon would help you to cure your diabetes and carbs to fuel it to get worst! Looking at your eating habits...to me 'convenience' is what comes to my mind....and I can totally relate to that. It takes some planning ahead to able to manage your diet to low(er) carb, even just in your head...never mind in practice. But as you are already posting us..I suspect you know that there needs to be some changes for your situation. I'm being negative now....but 'BAH' for the so called 'health professionals'...many of them don't know what they are talking about or don't want to! We have here so many success stories and it is all down to individuals taking their care to their own hands..particularly when they've found right info to support it. Getting your health, your diet and your hunger under control is totally achievable...just little determination is needed from you and we can come with plenty of info and suggestions how to do it. ;) My suggestion to start with is...when you are not too busy and have couple of hours spare...get large chicken...chuck it in oven on tray..after hour chuck some chopped 'what ever veg you find palatable' (carrots, onion, garlic, mushroom etc) and give another hour..and hey presto..you have diner sorted! AND you can use left over meat to make something for you next day..even to take to work with you. You could get (low carb) protein rolls from your local Lidl..one of those is quite large one to eat and stuffed with chicken and some 'salad' green with good spread of butter and/or cheese would make really hearty lunch indeed! And there would be still chicken left for another dinner..you could chuck some of the meat on frying pan (with butter) and make yourself little stirfry..or omelette (yes with chicken meat and maybe some left over veg from roast?!)..it might not be culinary masterpiece but it would be very filling and quite healthy too! Or chicken salad, some nuts, little drizzle of oil to go with it... It takes very little time to knock up these meals once you have got basic ingredients sorted. Once you get routine with these things..you'll fine 'real food' actually is quite convenient and quick food. It will save you lots of money, better for your health, keep away you cravings etc....do I really need to list all the benefits to convince you;)..oh and you will loose weight too and you don't really need to do extra work out to achieve it neither..weight loss is almost like 'side effect'! If you are kind of person who perform better with the dead lines/targets. Give yourself one...say 4 weeks..push yourself to have full hearted good trial of your potential new life style. Do some blood testing, weight yourself every/every other day..and see what happens. At end of the 4 weeks...valuate your situation and if you think it is something that you could carry on...maybe do another 4 weeks..and so on. I'll be surprised if after month or two you don't find it quite easy to carry on. Nobody is not perfect all the time(well, there might be few odd ones :rolleyes:)..but most of us,we all have our 'blips'..the main thing is to keep them as such, know what they are and get back on 'bike' again...not a big deal when we can and do so;) [/QUOTE]
