[QUOTE="Hedonista, post: 1863168, member: 156026"] I'm so sorry you're struggling so much. The winter before last I was very ill, and like you, had no energy to cook and was barely managing (I lived on Co-op cauliflower cheese for quite a while). Then a friend realised what was going on and asked for three low carb recipes from me - I gave her chicken soup, lamb curry and a veggie stew with tofu. We went to the supermarket and bought all the ingredients, a shed load of freezer to microwave containers and a microwave (I didn't have one), and she cooked a huge number of dishes for me and stuck them in the freezer. After that, I had boiled eggs, or plain yogurt for breakfast and a freezer meal for dinner and life was simple. I didn't even have to stand up very long. Do you have anyone who could do something similar for you? If not, I did find a few ready meals that my BG was fine with, including a soup, the cauliflower cheese from the co-op and a couple of chicken dishes, plus a couple of frozen fish dishes, and survived on them. Are you comfort eating? If so, can you lay in some low carb treats? Pork scratchings or nuts instead of crisps for example? Sending you love in the meantime x [/QUOTE]
