I have recently discovered Hartleys 10 cal low carb (c. 0.4g carb per pot) jellies. With double cream they are, to my taste, delicious, definitely not too sweet and eaten chilled refreshing in our current hot weather. The only snag is, I find myself eating one 3-4 times daily, but I tell myself that the novelty will wear off and I'll eat less. Currently on offer (5 for £3) at Tesco, Asda and Waitrose or 6 for £2.50 from Home Bargains.Do you ever allow yourself the odd treat?
Thank you..I am chuffed..My sugars seem to have stabilised and my weight is falling off..I feel great..I give myself treats but I have noticed that my palate has changed so much that the treats have become.... well, unpalatable. Sweet treats are just too sweet. Savoury treats are, too me, a danger when it comes to the amounts so I avoid those if I can.
Happy Birthday, lass. Sounds like you had a nice day and your 5.5 is none too shabby either!
Yes, does a treat have to be "naughty but nice", or just nice?All depends on what you call a treat.....

What sort of low carb treat would you indulge in ..Treats don't have to be high carb or otherwise unhealthy, so yes I can still indulge even on a very low carb diet.

Home made low carb cakes, muffins, shortcake and cheesecake, (so all good low carb ingredients: nuts. butter, eggs, cheese); small portions of 85% dark chocolate; smal portions of berries and cream, and other low carb fruit in season; Oppo ice cream; cranberry sauce made with a little port at Christmas; my ultimate luxury savoury treats are smoked salmon or fil(l)et steak. And most of them fit my under 50g carbs a day limit. But a lot of my low carb diet consists of regular treats anyway as for the most part I'm eating food I enjoy.What sort of low carb treat would you indulge in ..
Have you got your free copy of the E-book https://brightspotsandlandmines.org?I have lost the weight but these seems to be no improvement in my control. Its still pretty up and down most days. I am adjusting bolus and basal accordingly but find at times I am taking just that bit too much causing me to go low, then having to take something sweet which of course then puts me high GRRRRRRRRRR

I really like Adam Brown's approach. I find it humorous and helpful. You could also read any of his articles that take your fancy :
