[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 2115291, member: 209498"] Hi [USER=512696]@SarahEN[/USER]! Well done on getting the bg meter. I go to Thailand every January/February for 4 weeks to avoid the cold and dark of the UK winter. It is quite easy to eat out in Thailand, and cheap if you eat Thai food. You can substitute rice and noodles with vegetable dishes - I like 'Morning Glory' a green veg also known as water spinach, usually stir fried. Ramen soups are good, though usually made with rice noodles. I eat just soup for the first 10 days and lose 1 lb a day, and my bgs are usually in the 5s, sometimes 4s. You can buy soups everywhere, they are popular with Thai people and carts come round the streets selling pork and chicken soups for around 40 baht (about £1) a bowl. It is filling and you can add chilli if you like spicy food. You can get some ideas for 'healthy' Thai food here: [URL]https://www.self.com/story/8-registered-dietitian-approved-thai-takeout-picks[/URL] Shirataki noodles made from Konjac would be better than rice noodles. Shirataki noodles are available in Thailand but don't seem to be used in street cooking. [/QUOTE]
