[QUOTE="KK123, post: 1857568, member: 451727"] Svalentine, thank you for giving us that in depth information and I am genuinely humbled by what you have had to deal with alongside all of this, I DO hope you get through it. As others have said please take it in very small steps. Your breakfast could still be bacon, eggs and a (good, low carb) sausage. I notice that lovely toast features a lot as well but you could cut this right down by maybe having one slice of low carb bread once a day or if you are able, give it up completely and go for snacks of celery sticks, cucumber sticks etc with a low carb dip. I KNOW this sounds as if it is no substitute at all but please try it when the toast cravings come, I have and the crunch of the veg along with the dip is a good substitute. Spag bol??, my favourite but now I have a tablespoon of wholemeal pasta and a heap of homemade (lower carb) sauce. The pasta mixed into it appears like a full bowl full, try it and you will see what I mean, VERY satisfying with a bit of sour cream and cheese. If you are desperate for a naughty snack, try pork scratchings. Chicken breast & sprouts dry?, who wants to eat that!!! Marinade the chicken in a load of lemon, greek yogurt and spices, cover the sprouts with a sprinkle of bacon bits or even a tablespoon of gravy. Eat meat and lots of it. Cheese, omelettes, nuts as a snack. Bird's eye?, try their plain fish (be careful of the ones with added sauces). Have a couple of squares of dark chocolate with a cup of coffee and cream. Honestly, try it for a week, don't worry too much about portion sizes at this stage, check your glucose levels and see how you do!!!! x [/QUOTE]
