[QUOTE="Gary Thom, post: 612250, member: 94775"] Not recipes as such but I managed to dramatically decrease my carb intake by: - Eating a lot more fish, with cauliflower, brocolli, spinach or asparagus as a side. Sausages and steak are good too but you shouldn't eat them too often. Something like chicken or turkey breast would be ideal really. - Starting to make salads instead of sandwiches for lunches at work. Tuna and avacado are my favourite things to put in. - Eggs or greek yoghurt with berries for breakfasts. I often have porridge which is quite high carb but this is at least low GI if you go for the pinhead stuff. I weigh it out exactly so I can match the insulin pretty well. - For snacks I now generally have cheeses, nuts or greek yoghurt with berries. That's not to say I won't have an occassional cakey treat but generally only as a reward if my blood sugar levels have been good. - Cut out potatoes, white pasta, white rice and any non-diet fizzy drinks. I've found cauliflower is a really good substitute for these sort of things where you just want to pad out a meal. I generally adhere to this during the week then loosen up a bit at the weekend if we're going out for dinner or similar. Peshwari naan is my greatest weakness. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
