I wished ... The wife is a very strict veggie and will not eat out .. If we need to eat out then it's a bowl of plain salad leaves from the local supermarket, and a small jar of mayonnaise... Looking forward to that ..Great story @Enclave - good to hear of someone's very hard work paying off You can go out for a meal & order from the menu without all the maths!

Thank you @Safi I thought it was something nice .. Yes I would like that very much .. I love food from around the world ..It's a savoury Japanese pancake @Kat100 - almost always has shredded cabbage in it & sweet mayo on it but other than that can vary from region to region. I'm planning to use shredded cabbage, some grated carrot, some smoky tempeh bacon & spring onion.
Thank you, yes I am still a bit amazed that I can eat this and not send my blood sugars in to outer orbit
I was found very early with my T2 so expect that helped .. Told all the wrong advice that I followed for three months ... Pushing my blood sugars in to orbit .. Then about 2 years ago went quite low carb ... Around 20 to 30g of carbs a day .... Yes at first it was hard ... But some of my extra weight dropped away (I lost 5st in 18 months) got my health back, heart problems have reduced and I stopped taking statins (not recommended without the help of the heart nurse who monitored me closely in the withdrawal time from the statins)
I still eat almost low carb ..and high fat .. But as a treat I can have a treat now of carbs .. I don't want to put on the weight again as I still have 2 st to loose and my weight has been stable for a few months now.
I still feel it cannot be real .. Eating carbs and not going over the normal blood sugar levels .. Last night after a big chocolate covered ice cream I only went up to 6.0 .. 2 hours after eating ... Confirmed by using three different meters !!!!!! Pinch me .. As it feels like I have a achieved the impossible.
I found when I increased ..yes increased my fat intake ..olive oil and coconut oils... My weight reduced faster hope this helps
Edit to add .... The wife says no food is off limits .. But I can only have the quantity that the carb counting allows ... When I first went low carb I wanted a chease and onion pasty... I got my wish ..but I only had a fith of the pasty and a fresh salard ... So after that I refrained from wanting high carb foods !
Thank you for the link ... we know the findhorn foundation have a veggie eating place ... not quite for us ... all brown rice, bread and lentils. Is only around 10 miles away .. the next one is in I think dundee way .. a 4 hour train ride away, quick cup of tea and get back on the train to get home to feed the hens.Have you checked out this site for finding veggie and vegan restaurants in your area?
