[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1903213, member: 355878"] Hello Tracy I'm glad that you are feeling a bit less panicked now, and just thought that I would add to the advice - when looking at packets of food you can't judge by the traffic light system, as that indicates sugars but not the starches, so you need to find out the full information from the nutritional information, usually far less obvious on the side or back of the pack. Many prepared dishes are laden with carbs to bulk them up and they work out far more expensive than the basic main ingredient. There is a misconception that eating a low carb diet is expensive - which it could be if you go for steak and salmon and chicken breast fillets every day. More ordinary fare, chicken thighs, tuna etc are far less expensive. [/QUOTE]
