Alas no - I have learned that I need to be cautious about what I have in the fridge or I can sabotage all my planning - but I have found that after at least partial success with diet my metabolism has recovered to some extent, so a whole punnet of strawberries in a day is not going to wreak havoc on my numbers nor my waistline.
One advantage of a low carb diet is that it reduced hunger. I used to eat lunch, but then found I was forgetting, realising that it was the middle of the afternoon and I'd not eaten a second time.
Some find that my breakfast of stirfry or mushrooms, or both with meat, or a fish salad is an odd choice, but before breakfast cereals were invented it was perfectly normal. My grandmother who died from complications of diabetes used to have fish for breakfast every day until she was put on insulin and would have a hypo every morning unless she ate cornflakes or rice crispies instead. My mum used to cook a pair of kippers - bought with their tails tied together with string. I used to get half a one. I can't smell kippers to this day without thinking of those years living with my father's parents.
