[QUOTE="Alisonjane10, post: 880548, member: 160262"] Hi [USER=88583]@kevinfitzgerald[/USER], I completely agree with your comment about having a treat once in a while, & the impact this has on emotional wellbeing & mental health. I too believe it is as important as good physical health when living with Diabetes. And I'm not really bothered if others disagree with me on this opinion. It's so easy to fall off the wagon when following any strict eating regime. I know I had a blow out when I was eating lchf, & beat myself up something terrible. A couple of very kind & helpful forum members supported me through that tough time & helped me realise that my very restricted diet was damaging my emotional health. Consequently I began easing off the lchf & started re-introducing the foods I previously restricted, such as fruit & wholegrains. I still watch my carb intake, via portion size, eat healthily overall & I'm successfully eating to my meter. More importantly, I'm much happier. I'm lucky that I'm able to eat this way without losing good glycemic control, or to gain weight. It does also take self discipline too. It's not a cop out nor an easy option, which I suspect some forum members may perceive my diet choice to be. Mmeh! :meh: I'm glad you raised the issue of mental health being equally important as physical health when managing the "Big D." Thank you for your post. Alison. :) [/QUOTE]
