Doesn't leave a lot to eat does it if you followed it religiously basically just meat, fish, green leafy veg and a bit of dairy. I could not do without tomatoes carrots, peas beans and just have greens, I do not like much meat so vegetables are a big part of a meal for me and I do need to have some bread sometimes
- Avoiding all foods with added sugar or honey such as desserts, candies, and pastries; all foods made from grains and grain flours such as breads, cereals, pasta, and rice; all starchy vegetables such as potatoes, corn, carrots, peas, tomatoes, and beans; all fresh or preserved fruits and fruit juices; all dairy products except for butter, cream, and fermented cheeses, as well as full fat yogurt(for dairy products the more the fat content the less carbohydrate content)
Cherry toms are 2g carbs per 80g.
Toms are 3g carbs per 80g.
According to my Carbs & Cals book.
They are both OK for me. Cherry toms most days for lunch (6 or 7 of them)
It's tinned toms that raise me.

Maybe, but you can eat lots of the tasty stuff that the healthy food guide says you shouldn't eat much of (eggs, bacon, red meat, cheese, full fat dairy...).Doesn't leave a lot to eat does it basically just meat, fish, green leafy veg and a bit of dairy

Not all of us want to eat a lot of that. I am not a vegetarian but I do not like meat very much so I only really eat chicken ham salami and fish. If I want to make a chilli or cottage pie I use Quorn mince which is a good source of protein and I prefer the taste Our body does not actually need animal fat vegetarians and vegans would never survive if it did, My fats come from good oils olives nuts avocados and cheese.Maybe, but you can eat lots of the tasty stuff that the healthy food guide says you shouldn't eat much of (eggs, bacon, red meat, cheese, full fat dairy...).
Adding butter to your veg can help with this likewise with olive oil based dressings on salads. There are also a lot of nice drips/sources you can make with double cream as a base. Grated cheese is also nice on veg.

I have Quorn as a change from chicken sometimes because I don't like the taste of red meat but I do like Chilli Con Carne and Shepherds pie so it works fine for me in those. I am not really worried how it is grown as it has been passed as safe to eat and a lot of vegetarians have it and we are not dead yet and I have been eating it a long time before I had diabetes Mushrooms are much the same as they are also grown artificially in dark cavesMost people like that stuff, though. My aim eating this way is not just to survive, but to be very healthy (and it seems to be working). Nor is it to eat as pleasurably as possible (I used to do that and it was very detrimental to my health).
I mean no offense, but the thought of eating quorn turns my stomach ("Quorn is made from the soil mould Fusarium venenatum strain PTA-2684. The fungus is grown in continually oxygenated water in large, otherwise sterile fermentation tanks.") Nevertheless, if was actually healthier than meat, I might try it. However, I doubt that quorn is healthier than meat and probably not even close to being as healthy as meat, despite the manufacturer's claims. For sure it doesn't have all the B vitamins that humans need (while meat does): http://www.mycoprotein.org/assets/Nutritional_profile_of_Quorn.pdf
