Thanks!!!
My biggest thing that I worry about is I have recently given up meat because of animal issues so this is going to be even harder!! Packed lunches for work/uni are my biggest concern. Was thinking of maybe cold fish with some sort of home made salad/salsa. I need to change my relationship with food completely!
I didn't eat chicken for years on principle. Then came my diagnosis, and thankfully, around the same time, Dutch living conditions for chickens changed, so I had better options. In both eggs and poultry, I only eat what's had a good life. Grateful for the sacrifice and all that. Costs a bit more though. (Other animals too, but chickens were a thing here for a loooong time!). Basically, if I have to choose, I pick my health and a tad less of feeling guilty.
But yeah, it's a personal choice. And you're right, you should reexamine your relationship with food, because right now... Not good.
Mind you, this forum has a section devoted to vegetarian/vegan diets that mesh with low carb, and dietdoctor.com caters to the v/v crowd as well. Just takes a bit of a search.
You don't have to get it right overnight eh. Take your meds, do the research, and when you're ready to make changes, you'll know what you're doing. No rushing into anything.
