[QUOTE="Goonergal, post: 1910210, member: 368709"] Hi [USER=493176]@NeilHewitt[/USER] and welcome. Some great advice above so won’t add to that, but will comment on a couple of other things. If Nandos is an option for you during a busy working day, it’s totally fine no breading on the chicken, so very low carb (especially if you avoid adding their sauces). I eat there pretty frequently. They grill everything so no trans fats or seed oils to avoid. The key with a busy schedule (I have one) is to plan and prepare - take food with you, look at food options close to meetings and so on. Editing to add a few more suggestions. When you do have time batch cook meals that can then be frozen for quick meals when you get home late or to take to work and heat in the microwave. If there’s o microwave then the wide necked flasks will keep a meal hot for ages. Some simple low carb foods take very little preparation time (bacon and eggs, meat or fish with very simple sauces, or some good seasoning, for example). It’s a question of finding strategies that work for you and sticking to them. That’s much harder when you’re starting out, but if you can turn these into habits, it’ll be much easier in the long run. It’s a lot to get your head around early on but standard nutritional advice is not terribly helpful for type 2s. The low carb programme is a great place to start. You may also be interested in the diet doctor.com website. [/QUOTE]
