[QUOTE="Hooked, post: 629794"] I'm not doing low carb, but I have reduced my carbs to between 60 - 120g a day depending on just how much I want bread/spuds/pasta. I have to say my evening cravings to stuff my gob have gone. If I do take a notion to eat, I reach for a no carb alternative between meals and the Atkins bars are great for when I really want something sweet. I'm eating less often and staying satisfied for much longer. I've substituted rice with grated and fried cauliflower which surprisingly hits the spot whilst greatly reducing the carbs in a meal. If the family want a Chinese takeaway I still get mine, but make my cauli rice to go with it in place of the takeaways rice or chips and the impact on my levels is much less. I now only have two baby potatoes with my roast dinners. Upping the amount of meat and veg instead. Much as I love my spuds, I don't feel I'm missing out. Omelettes are great breakfast subs for cereal or toast, and carb free. It might be your while adding up what carbs you eat each day on average and reducing it a bit to start off with to see how you get on. Do Slimming World still have an option to do red and green days?
