There are plenty of recipes for low carb brownies if you are willing to cook! I know a tablespoon of pasta doesn't sound much but when I heap it with bolognese sauce it's surprising how filling it is. I used to have whole bowls of pasta and now realise that that isn't necessary because a little goes a long way. Again, don't become too obsessed with lowering carbs excessively to begin with, many type 1's do not do this, this is just what I prefer. Can you tell us what you would normally eat because I am sure that with a few tweaks, you may find you do not feel restricted at all. I just cut out my 'snacks' to begin with, which were crisps/a bar of chocolate/the odd cream cake etc. I call it the obvious rubbish that most people eat. I worked shifts so would often take a ready made meal to work, always good quality but full of carbs/sugar. Now I don't, I prepare a chicken salad (and I don't mean with boring old lettuce and tomatoes either!). One thing to remember, they do tell you to eat what you normally eat at the start because they are trying to gauge where your glucose levels are at along with your insulin but I have to say, I was not prepared to do that for months on end so I adjusted my diet as mentioned. I understand you thinking it's not worth eating a snack but if you are like me you will start to lose weight if you become too afraid to eat much (at the start), I had no weight to lose and went from a bmi of 24 to 21, now I do have to be careful not to lose anymore.</p></blockquote><p></p>
