[QUOTE="straygoat, post: 2634761, member: 578770"] Hello all, I've recently been diagnosed as prediabetic. The doc sent me a link to another website for information and left me to it, so I'm still new to it all. I've not made drastic changes yet, but have tried to be more careful about what I'm eating - now on wholemeal bread and brown rice, no chocolate or sweets, no crisps, etc. But I am really miserable, even more than I already was! I am a fussy eater and always have been. Even had counseling to get over some food phobias, but it didn't help much. All I keep seeing is stuff about the mediterranean diet (which is pretty much my nightmare diet) and things like "have these delicious xyz" instead, and it is always something I hate. Like eggs or tomatoes. I'm already getting to the point where I feel like an eating disorder might lie ahead. I do two fast days a week (no food at all) and kind of am of the mindset where I'd rather not eat than eat stuff I don't enjoy. Silly, illogical, yes ... but that's how it is. I'd be interested in hearing other people's experiences about this sort of thing. I understand that my diet is likely how I ended up in this predicament to start with! [/QUOTE]
