[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2137227, member: 345386"] Good work [USER=489059]@Cana[/USER] . Please don't get too hung up on every statement in what sounds like a busy review. As others have pointed out the "5 to drive" isn't for everyone. If that were the case, I'd only be able to drive very shortly after meals, for a short while. Of course, for those on certain classes of medication the "5 to drive" is very much in their lives. I'm sure you will feel liberated by the "no-meds" lifestyle, but please do be patient and allow your body a little while to adjust. Just as it took a little while for your blood numbers to start to reduce, it can take our bodies a little while to adjust to not having the pharmaceutical support of meds. Stick with it, and don't panic. If you haven't done so already, I'd suggest you begin to build yourself a little portfolio of go-to/working/days out/special days food choices, or meals, so that you can begin to relax a bit and have some variety. I'd go insane having the same meals too often. I do have pretty well the same brekkers daily, but that's about it. You could easily do something on an A4 sheet, divided into quarters, with Breakfasts, Lunches/Picnics/Dinners/Specials or Treats, the just scribble options as you think of them. Then, on those "Meh, I can't think of a single delicious thing I'd like to eat" days (and we all have them from time to time), you've at least got a few suggestions for yourself. We also use an App called CopyMeThat, which is a free recipe aggregator, where you can store recipes from almost all websites, plus add your own. You can add tags for "beef, lamb, pork, low carb, dessert, condiment, sauce, slow cooker" and so on, and you can make your own searchable tags. Over time, for me, that overtook the A4 sheet, and we now have 417 recipes in there. Not all are LC, as some are more partner-centric, but they're just not tagged LC, Keto or the like, so they can just be filtered out. Maybe have a look?
