[QUOTE="zeeeee, post: 2296547, member: 528393"] I found it easier to think about how I can replace things. I used to love mashed potatoes so I changed to cauliflower mash (which I think tastes better) and so forth with other side dishes Shopping was daunting at first but you have to get into the habit of checking the labels, i'm still shocked at some of the stuff I pick up and the level of carbs listed and thats without all the other junk thats added. I developed a carb phobia which I still have now 8 months later by thinking exactly what bulkbiker said "I need no carbohydrates and any that I do eat will likely cause my blood sugar to rise." There's mountains of food and meals to discover that contain very little carbs and are all natural and very satisfying. I forget who said this "if its a man made food its probably not going to be good for you" or something along those lines and this is something I always think about when shopping. As Jennifer says above use an app to track and planning your meals helps a lot wether its in the morning or the night before. All this will come natural to you over time. [/QUOTE]
