[QUOTE="SamJB, post: 372138, member: 45322"] Perhaps I should have elaborated earlier on the book recommendation, Shelly...maybe I was in a rush! Bernstein is an 80-odd year old doctor who also has T1. He has low-carbed for a long time and this book describes its advantages. It's also full of recipes. He prescribes carbs of 6, 12 and 12 g for breakfast, lunch and dinner, respectively. I find this a bit too restrictive so just avoid bread, pasta, rice etc and this works great for me. Also consider buying Karen Barnaby's Low Carb Gourmet. It's full of great recipes. Here are my usual lunch options: salad, soup, omelette. I have a recipe for low carb bread under "Perfect Low Carb Bread Recipe", you'll need a bread-maker for it though. You can also have cured meats, cheese, coleslaw, cottage cheese, tuna. I've found that since LCing that the variety of food that I'm eating has increased considerably. I also eat a lot more veg than I used to. I get a free lunch where I work right now, so I either go to the salad bar and have a salad, or have the main course with no carbs but a double dose of veggies. Oh and thanks Noblehead for the echo pen idea, I was going to start a post enquiring about this as I'd forgotten it's name. :thumbup: [/QUOTE]
