[QUOTE="Annio, post: 2513980, member: 550124"] Adapting old eating habits to healthier versions. I liked sweets and things like watsits. Diabetes was the best thing as it made me take stock. I eat carbs but find good substites for goodies I miss. There's a fabulous lo carb bread called low carb from Sainsbury's 5 grams per slice it's so filling. I found heavenly chocolate with its healthy 1% all natural bars which stopped sweet need. I cooked all veg in olive oil with paprika and Onion salt and herbs as I hated veg but enjoy cooked this way. I eat loads green beans and cherry tomatoes with chicken breasts in soy sauce to make a BBQ chicken. I have jacket potatoes , roast dinner and yes, I make gravy with 1 tablespoons flour as hate bistro. I adapted if I fancy crisps I get the lentil or chick pea ones, I eat few sugar free sweets. I honestly don't feel it's been too bad. I've lost 3 stone and my AC 1 has gone from 90 to 42 since October diagnosis. I know we're all different and sometimes the rigid rule comments to no carbs scared me. My next AC 1 is due soon if what I'm doing has changed and it's higher then I'll adapt again. I have arthritis too so couldn't do long walks etc. It's healthy eating and I love my strawberries, grapes apples and oranges which I've been told to limit or not eat but life is too harsh without some foods you like. I even have pub lunches out and yes, I eat some chips etc. It's all moderation IMO. Others will disagree but we all need to find our own path. [/QUOTE]
