[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2182081, member: 41816"] To start with, I just cut the carbs (bread rice potato pasta fruit and fruit juices and so on) right down and filled the plate with extra veg instead. Later I increased my protein a bit. Later still I increased my understanding about how red meat and saturated fats are not the Evil Incarnate made out by the media and old style medical advice, and now happily eat them all the time. If you want to make things very simple, and are used to a way of eating around bread potatoes and pudding, then you can do a bit of research and do some direct swaps. Bread - swap to a lower carb bread like Burgen (read the labels on the packaging and you will see how reduced carb each slice will be compared with your usual brand) Potato - my husband used cauliflower cheese, cauliflower mash, as direct swaps.. He now prefers them to potato. Puddings - there are vast numbers of cake, pud and snack recipes that are very low carb. Have a google. A good website to start is the [URL="http://www.dietdoctor.com"]www.dietdoctor.com[/URL] site which does both menus and shopping lists. But if you google 'low carb recipe carrot cake' or 'low carb recipe chocolate mug cake' you will find yourself inundated with suggestions. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
