[QUOTE="Nicole T, post: 2335721, member: 527609"] One possibility, particularly if you're sharing food with others, is to just have significantly smaller portions of the things you love. Sometimes a taste is all you need. If my other half is here, I'll sometimes have a bite of a Jaffa Cake or take a tiny bite off the end of her Mars Bar. Savour the things, and make them last, rather than munching through the whole item at speed (and possibly several more) as I'd have done pre-diagnosis. If you're roasting potatoes or similar, then cut them small, par-boil them and rinse thoroughly before roasting. This should remove a significant amount of starch. You can achieve similar reductions with rice by part cooking, rinsing thoroughly, and then finishing off the cooking process. [/QUOTE]
