[QUOTE="PerfectStorm, post: 2407087, member: 177771"] I agree with an earlier poster, this journey is a marathon not a race and you need to find a level you feel comfortable with and can maintain. I find like most journeys there are ups and downs, it’s not always smooth. I can be doing well and enjoying LC and other times I hate that I can’t just eat without thinking. On the cauli rice front - we use a sharp knife and kind of coarsely chop cauliflower. It takes only as long as grating or food processing and probably makes less mess. I prefer the coarser texture and my husband often makes me a cauli rice to have with curry - flavoured with onion and spices. I do mine plain (because I’m lazy) but fry it in a stupidly hot pain until it’s got some colour on it and then add a splash of hot water and put lid on it - it then steams a little to soften. Takes less than 5 mins altogether As for treats, this company makes low carb cakes with no nasty ingredients and some of their cakes are gluten free too. I’ve only found them a couple of months ago but they are deliciously.

They are expensive but they’re kept just for me. My husband and son know to keep off!
