Message: <blockquote data-quote="Adm_Mad" data-source="post: 2030097" data-attributes="member: 503757">6.3Lunch: piece of string cheeseDinner: sautéed kale and spinach with sausage with a sauce made from a dollop of heavy cream with garlic and chilli pasteNet calories after exercise: 634Carbs: 10 g (14 if you count the fibre count in the green veg)I know this doesn’t look like a lot of food but it was a full plate and really hearty and satisfying. I hope this is the “fat satiates you” theory coming into effect! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Seriously I’m surprised at the kinds of food you are able to eat if you choose a lower carb/higher fat diet and even on my temporary low calorie restriction I certainly don’t feel deprived (except for fruit which my GP vetoed for the time being). This is one of the reasons I can’t tell my mum about my diabetes. She won’t just freak out over the disease, she’ll freak out over this diet. She’s one of those people who thinks type 2 diabetes means you are a lazy gluttonous fatty, and if you let one bite of food that isn’t a lettuce leaf, carrot stick or whole grain bread pass your lips you will go blind and your legs will rot off.</blockquote>
