I’m genuinely puzzled how people cut out carbs completely? Even a carrot has carbs! Do they just eat protein and fat? Surely unhealthy and unsustainable and BORING. My husband was diagnosed with type 2 over twenty years ago but has brought down his blood sugars by eating a low carb diet (under 100g daily) since January. He has lost around 5 stones in total and has been able to drop some medication. However, I still struggle to find meals to make that are tasty and low carb, especially in winter when salads often don’t appeal. Basically I fill our plates with various vegetables and a portion of protein. The trouble is, at 70, we have been brought up to think of a balanced meal as meat or fish, a few vegetables and potatoes, rice or pasta, and it’s been hard to break that pattern, often followed by a dessert. Eating out is fraught with problems as most menus follow that pattern and I’m tired of the chips with everything attitude. With so many struggling with weight and diabetes, you’d think some pubs and restaurants would offer alternatives but few seem to.
