- Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
[With apologies to James Bond.]
My partner just cooked one of our favourite ready meals - M&S Beef Bolognese Melt - and I calmly carried on cutting up cauliflower for my evening meal.
Smelled good, though.
Only 16.6g of carbohydrates per 100g so not that bad really compared to bread.
Umm...74.7g of carbs for a half portion.
Which helps to explain how by HbA1c went through the roof before Christmas due to the "occasional treat".
But now I am a man of iron.
Man of steel!!
