In a while you can re-introduce very small portions of some of these, for example occasionally I might have one or two (at most tow) small new potatoes, or a small portion of pasta, but generally I avoid them if I can. Be careful you don't each too much fruit as all sugar, in its various forms are not good for us.Good things: Cheese, butter, vegetables, meat (and sausages and bacon), fish, nuts, eggs, salads, Greek yogurt (not too much), strawberries and other berries are OK in reasonable quantities. If you want a treat try dark chocolate, at least 70%, but only a couple of squares. Once you start looking there are plenty of 'no carb' options (or very very low carb options).I've been trying to eat like this for a little while, I've lost tons of weight, I've halved all my meds, and I feel a lot better.I wish you luck.</blockquote>
