Hi and welcome. Are you allowed to eat in your office? I take in a small container of greek style full fat yoghurt, strawberries and seeds. I sit at my desk and eat it with the blessing of my employer. Tell your employer what's going on and I'm sure they will be supportive.I will struggle with breakfast stuff as I work in an office
Seriously, chill out. It is not the catastrophic degenerative disease that the establishment would have you believe. Well, it is if you follow their advice. Follow ours and it isn’t. I thought the same as you at first. I didn’t know what I was going to eat. Now I’m happier with food than I ever have been my whole life.
I was diagnosed late and I suffered some pretty bad and painful complications as I was getting better, but now I’m grateful that I got it. I’ve never been happier and healthier. I understand it’s daunting at first, but please have faith that in a couple of years from now you’ll look back and smile.
Chin up! Hugs all around
Thank youHave a look at some of the meals on dietdoctor.com.
Google anything you fancy, just put keto in front of it.
I would love some advice on this LCHF diet.
I don’t like a lot of foods like tomotoes, mushrooms, avocado and I have read a lot of receipts have these but I can’t eat them.
Breakfast could be cold cuts, cheese, boiled egg and whatnot. Full fat greek yoghurt with some nuts and berries tossed in?Thank you so much for your reply, it took me a few reads to take it in. I honestly have no clue what I’m doing and I just feel so overwhelmed.
I will struggle with breakfast stuff as I work in an office and I can’t make eggs and bacon and things like that so I have no idea what I’m supposed to do.
I just wish I understood what I can and can’t have, it’s devestated me that I will have this for the rest of my life.
I’m thinking the way to go the now will be the yoghurt with the berries, are there any fruits I should be avoiding?Options for office work, take a boiled egg or two on some green salad, frozen berries and full fat greek yoghurt, or skip breakfast and have a coffee with double cream.
lunches, take left overs, salads and soups are really popular in my office at the moment, home made, fresh or tinned just look for the lowest carb levels of what you might like.
Just make one change at a time, give yourself time to find a sustainable suitable way of eating that you will enjoy.
Yeah I can eat in my office, we just can’t really cook anything, what fruit should I be avoiding.Hi and welcome. Are you allowed to eat in your office?

Hi Deborah, so sorry to hear how your feeling, but it pretty much how most of us felt, on that awful day of being told.
The horrible news was you have diabetes,
HOWEVER the good news is now you know, YOU can do something about it.
The members on here have already rallied to offer support, and the advise and links for further information, will be invaluable over the coming weeks and months.
So as said take a deep breathe, and take the time to find out what is an advisable breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack for us type 2's.
Like you I thought cereal was healthy for me, but it'snot something I eat now.
I do however, now enjoy poached eggs most mornings or Greek yoghurt n blueberries..I've even ventured beyond my comfort zone with scrambled eggs with avocado.
So for all of us, the choice of food changes, but the changes can be both healthier for US....and rather delicious.
Jo and the others have been bang on..we all were hurt by our news, but the best thing is you have arrived among new friends, all willing to offer help, advice and to just
point to articles that may help inform you better what foods are best suited for us.
So take in the advice in your own good time, but for now, just avoid the ones stated in other posts...after all, what do you have to lose by trying...it might just show you how simple some of the actions are to improving our health.
Best wishes, Deborah,
as many have said
You'll be ok...we got ya.
Have a look at this article the best and worst fruitsI’m thinking the way to go the now will be the yoghurt with the berries, are there any fruits I should be avoiding?
I have PCOS as well.You have no idea how much that helps, its true, I just feel so overwhelmed, I have PCOS as well, the docs said it goes hand in hand.
I will defo be having a look at that diet doctors website. I just some guidance is all.
I would love it if that could be fixed as well, I just feel like a proper failure as a human with my PCOS and now this, I know that I’m sounding like a Debbie downer but I’m just in a funk the now.Avoid all fruit except for a few berries. raspberry, blue or straw.
Invest in a wide mouth thermos, take to work, home made soups or stews.
If you read Jason Fung's The Diabetes Code or Dr Michael Morley's The 8 Week Sugar Diet, they mention PCOS having been sorted out by low carb. I don't remember the details off hand because I haven't suffered with it.
That was the exact same as me, all I was told was to exercise and eat better, but nothing helped and any weight I lost I always just put it straight back on again, it was a horrible cycle. Can you have as much cheese as you want? I don’t have a meter? Is this sometiing I should be getting from the doctors?I have PCOS as well.
For YEARS I felt awful. Migraines, tried, depressed, acne, fat belly and soooo hungry.
All the advice I got was to exercise and eat “healthy”
And I did. I cooked most meals at home and exercised more then my “skinny” friends.
When I was diagnosed it was like a light bulb went off. Finally I knew what was wrong.
Then I found this forum.
I stopped all grains. I lost 60 pounds eating meat, eggs, cheese, and above ground vegetables. A few raspberries with cream every day. Oh and coffee every morning with full fat cream.
And I feel amazing. Acne gone, migraines instead of once a month maybe twice a year. I sleep half as much and feel great!!
And I now have had a A1C below 40 for two years.
Best advice I’ve gotten is “eat to your meter”
Test before your first bite and two hours after.
Your looking for a rise less then 2ml.
Ask as many questions as you need to. There is always someone here to help.
But PCOS is not your fault. Either is diabetes. It’s rotten and not fair but you have it, and now is time to take action.I would love it if that could be fixed as well, I just feel like a proper failure as a human with my PCOS and now this, I know that I’m sounding like a Debbie downer but I’m just in a funk the now.
You can eat as much cheese as you want as long as it’s not with crackers or breads. You’ll find you won’t eat much as it is filling.That was the exact same as me, all I was told was to exercise and eat better, but nothing helped and any weight I lost I always just put it straight back on again, it was a horrible cycle. Can you have as much cheese as you want? I don’t have a meter? Is this sometiing I should be getting from the doctors?
I hope both can be healed, I just need to be positive and accept this, I feel like I’m still in the denial stage right now.But PCOS is not your fault. Either is diabetes. It’s rotten and not fair but you have it, and now is time to take action.
Having found this website will give you the tools to heal. Both conditions.
Once you start healing your mind will become clearer to help work thought all of this.
