[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 2128284, member: 93179"] I have to live with a kitchen half full of higher carb food as that's what my husband chooses to buy and eat, but this very rarely tempts me at all. :yuck: When he retired he took over the shopping and cooking and decided eventiually to shop online, and since I can't drive and we only have a small village shop, after I retired and no longer had access to work transport I was limited for the most part to having to eat what he chose to buy. So when I was diagnosed with T2, it was a huge relief to be able to insist on a lower carb diet for health reasons, and eventually to save arguments I decided I'd do my own online shopping and let him carry on as he wished. Shopping this way means I can look at nutritional labelling where necessary so I can make the best choices diet wise, do my shopping any time of the day or night at my leisure - and I can also avoid some of the annoyances that [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] has mentioned! Most of what I eat I've always eaten, or preferred to, so I didn't have [I]too[/I] much trouble (re-)adapting my shopping list for essentials (e,g, meat, fish, full fat dairy, veggies and a bit of fruit) after I was diagnosed as T2. And I've always - in the main - cooked from scratch. Originally there were some things I resented having to give up, but I've never actually craved for them, and I can now justify some previous treats as being "essentials"! Being a long term migraine sufferer, some of which were triggered by foods, actually taught me in an extremely painful way to be very wary of any food that was "bad" for me, which helped a lot when needing to avoid any of my previous higher carb favourites.
