[QUOTE="gbswales, post: 93470, member: 21675"] counting carbs sounds a lot like counting calories and I have never been any good at that when attempting to diet :roll: It is the thought of doing things like this that takes me into a depressed state - I am a spontaneous, whatever takes my fancy, type of person and am absoulutely hopeless at planning meals - about half an hour before dinner I look at whats in the cupboard, fridge or freezer and throw it in the wok. oven or microwave. I hate cooking, though my thai partner does some of the cooking he cannot conceive of cooking a stir fry or the like without adding sugar - the good thing is that he gets me to eat lots of rice which I believe is good. Tonight as an example - I am throwing 1lb of good beef mince in with vegatables into a hot pot covered with sliced potatos (that is major league cooking for me) then I take it in the dining room and we spoon it out from the big dish into bowls - do I need to have the kitchen scales in there for my portion and how much of a meal like that should I eat? Planned to follow that with yet another attempt to make a low calorie ice cream (in ice cream maker) that will have whipping cream, eggs and sweetner plus vanilla extract - goodness knows how much that will be per portion in carbs. I have to find a way to make diabetes fit my lifestyle because it simply wont work out any other way [/QUOTE]
