[QUOTE="Finzi, post: 394419, member: 56231"] Cass - for the Indian, anything that is tikka or tandoori (ie cooked in the grill, dry - not chicken tikka masala) is absolutely fine - more or less zero carb. I love sizzling tandoori king prawns, with chicken tikka as a starter. Some people swear by daal (lentils) but unfortunately I find they tend to spike me. The things you must avoid are rice and naan/chapatti. I do treat myself to one popadum, they've got about 7g carb (depends on size). Definitely no mango chutney and no Indian sweets. In the pub, I would agree the all day breakfast might be a good choice but remember that baked beans are very high carb. An alternative might be steak and salad, or a burger and salad avoiding the bun. For your throat, I would use sugar free squash and water frozen in ice cubes or lolly moulds. Or try freezing full fat Greek yoghurt. And sugar free jelly and cream is a great idea. Just drink , drink and drink. Well done on your weight loss so far - that's brilliant! Type 2 on Metformin, diagnosed Jan 2013, ultra low carber, Hba1C at diagnosis 8% (11mmol), now between 4.5 and 5.5 mmol. 20kg lost so far :) [/QUOTE]
