[QUOTE="WuTwo, post: 2055139, member: 87354"] I'm vegan (but type 1) and I don't eat pies, pastries, cakes and biscuits and junk food rubbish like that*; I eat what my doc considers an incredibly healthy diet (her words). Eat 8-10 portions of veg/salad/fruit per day (I have my fruit as blueberries, but the rest of my portions are salad, raw veg and cooked veg). I eat a lot of tofu (a low carb food) in many and varied forms and some seitan but I make it myself and know what is in it (thus I control portion size). I enjoy nuts, pulses and seeds and if I do eat carby food, then it'll be chickpea pasta, brown rice with veg (far more veg and rice) and occasional potatoes (not really liking potato or bread). There are loads of low carb vegan foods around; just got to be picky what you choose! And be prepared to cook from basics rather than just buy ready-made but that is true for any chosen dietary lifestyle I think. *caveat - I munch Oreos as my get-out-of-a-hypo-fast food.... [/QUOTE]
