[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2146521, member: 511345"] I'm another who changed my diet pretty much overnight. I took the view that I needed not to give my body stuff that made my blood sugars rise. I tested very very regularly at first. I used the tests as a way of maintaining my motivation. The important thing is the carbs not the calories Some suggestions- use the ones that are helpful to you You can see how your body reacts to things like diet jelly- if you have it with double cream that's a dessert that should have very very low carbs try very nice meat that might be something you really like- nice steak for example- then you are not being deprived you're having an upmarket steak coffee with double cream- it might take a few weeks to really appreciate it but it is much more filling than normal cream strangely. I love fish- crispy skin salmon- very nice cauliflower rice or cauliflower mash (with cheese)- both low carbs you could try melting a little bit of dark chocolate (over 80%) and adding cream- I haven't tried that b ut could work. What is your favourite food- maybe we can give you some suggestions for alternatives. [/QUOTE]
