[QUOTE="Mongolia, post: 908363, member: 160453"] Hi Andy, welcome! Contrary to what Arab Horse has said, I have found that food has got more interesting since diagnosis as I have had to become more creative and do 'proper' cooking. I guess it depends whether you like cooking or not! There are many meal ideas and recipes on this website to give you ideas, especially if you are thinking of trying the low carb, high fat way of eating. If you are planning on doing this, look at the total carbs figure on food labels (not just the sugars). I try to only select items that are 5g or less total carbs per 100g as a general rule of thumb but obviously if it is something that I am only going to eat a very small amount of this might be higher, eg a small square of 85% chocolate isn't going to weigh 100g so the fact that it has 19g carbs per 100g is allowable! Do ask lots of questions - nothing is too daft and there are lots of fabulous people on the forum to help you.:) [/QUOTE]
