[QUOTE="TriciaWs, post: 2183990, member: 475901"] Like many others here, I lost loads of weight without counting calories. Going low carb but having cheese, full fat milk, double cream and full fat real Greek yogurt keeps me full and I still lost over 5.5 stone - given I spend a lot of time in bed and do almost no exercise that was even more amazing than getting my T2 into remission. And my cholesterol/blood lipids improved. As for cooking Roast a chicken eat some with plenty of green veg, using the juices instead of gravy pull off a chunk when hungry, or stir fry it with spring onion, cabbage and mushrooms or for snacks add it to cream cheese with plenty of black pepper and garlic, spread onto romaine lettuce leaves. Grate cheese over a cooked pack of broccoli and cauliflower. If you have a slow cooker, put in chunks of beef with a little onion and garlic (not too much onion) and mushrooms. Make enough for a few days then add a little fried chilli peppers to one part, some turmeric and curry spices to another to vary it. Both good served with cauliflower rice. Or you could make cauliflower mash or have a small amount of roasted butternut squash. After dinner I usually have 100g of greek yogurt with about 5-7 (depending on size) raspberries mashed in. I have low carb bread occasionally, but just a small slice. Some people find even this too much carbs - test before and 2 hours after to check if you can tolerate it. I usually miss lunch, or have a small salad with a little protein. But breakfast is a mix of flaxseed, chia seeds and oatbran to replace porridge, or a coconut flour/milk pancake with berries. A slice of lowcarb toast at the weekend - max 9g carbs. I do use 90 second bread - if you don't like the eggy taste use the vegan recipe with flaxseeds instead. [/QUOTE]
