Message: <blockquote data-quote="Liam E" data-source="post: 2560125" data-attributes="member: 559390">The "normal" diet is responsible for the explosion in diabetes in recent years. It has a lots of refined carbs and seed oils. Both of which you should avoid like the plague.I hate to be blunt but what would you prefer as a treat? Some sweets or your toes? That is the reality of the choice you, I and the others here face.Wholewheat pasta, healthy whole grains, brown rice etc etc. It is still just carbs. It is a tiny bit better than than the refined stuff but only a tiny bit.Just tell yourself everyday that your body cannot handle carbs anymore, and stop worrying what you can't eat and look at what you can. No one looks at a steak with butter and thinks oh no I can't eat brown rice. No one looks at bacon and eggs and wishes they could be eating all-bran.For a sweet fix why not get some diet fizzy drinks instead? Works for me.Strawberries are one of the better fruits for low carb. Just have them with cream. I wouldn't be worried about those.I'd suggest this week keep a food diary and find out how many carbs you are eating, Make sure to count all the beers and sweets. Then you'll have a good idea where you stand. Whatever that number is over the next few months you can work out for yourself which substitutions you can make that you actually like and gradually bring that total carb number down to 50g a day or less. It sounds WAY harder than it is. Oh I can't eat that? Oh I'll just have more meat then. It really isn't a hardship, just a change in habits.</blockquote>
