[QUOTE="merrymunky, post: 1972050, member: 499435"] Nope. I am a devout vegetarian. I haven’t eaten any meat since I was 12. I never liked meat. I cannot eat it. The smell, taste, texture, the fact it is a dead animal. I just cannot do it. It took me years to even eat Quorn products and even some of those are too meat like for me so I can’t eat them. I really think I am going to struggle to find anything suitable to eat. I’m going to see what the diabetes clinic have to say. But essentially, all the carbs I have been consuming make up staples of almost every meal I eat. Typical meal choices for me on a standard day for me would usually be: Breakfast: Fruit salad with a fat free vanilla yoghurt A small bowl of cereal with skimmed milk. At weekends I will have 2 slices of whole meal or grain bread with peanut butter as a treat. Lunch: Jacket potato with cheese and salad, Cheese salad Mixed beans and couscous Leftover red lentil pasta (usually with peppers, onions, sweetcorn and a passata sauce) with cheese New potatoes and salad Ryvita with soft cheese topped with peppers and cucumber Home made vegetable soup (with carrots, peppers, onions and parsnip) Tea: Quorn chilli with rice (although I sometimes use butternut squash spaghetti instead) Red lentil Pasta as above topped with grated cheese Vegetarian quorn roast with veggies and roast potatoes Quorn sausages with potatoes and baked beans Vegetarian curry made with quorn pieces, chickpeas and vegetables etc with rice Jacket potatoes with salads or new potatoes with salad Basically carbs in most meals. If I take them out I am left with very little to eat. I’m sure I will work it out eventually. [/QUOTE]
