[QUOTE="gbswales, post: 96699, member: 21675"] At first I thought it was great - and certainly I have had better control over my levels than for a long time. However these last few days I am starting to feel fed up with thinking constantly about what I can and cant eat. Also it really upsets me that the first time in 3 weeks that I have a take away - a nandos chicken breast wrap - my blood sugar shot up. Tonight I made a caserole of lamb marinaded in teryak with 1 large carrot, leeks, and a few sundry non root veg I found in the fridge - Followed that with a small portion of home made ice cream - no sugar just cream,eggs,vanilla and sweetner - 3 hours later blood sugar is at 7.4 and I feel hungry Another thing I am sick of already is peanuts - been using these in place of biscuits for morning afternoon snacks or whenever I feel the need for something. I gave up smoking over 30 years ago but still miss it most days which accounts my need to snack. I read all the people here saying how their taste buds change and how they feel great - I feel more tired than ever, I am now getting sick of eating so much meat, I hate exercise, my sex drive has dropped even lower and generally feeling very depressed about it all. I know whats missing from my life - chocolate and bread and no one seems to have come up with something you can wrap around a slice of meat and eat easily. I know I am difficult in that I have never since childhood particularly liked green vegetables or salad stuff - if it wasnt for the ice cream maker and the discovery of low carb pasta I would have given this up already. Thing is I dont WANT to give up, because of the better BS control, but I do want eating to be FUN and spontanious again - tonights dinner was OK but the preparation involved spoils it for me - I am driving my partner mad in the supermarked as I peer at all the labels and then try and translate the 100grams or "normal portion" into the amount I would actually eat. Sorry to go on so but I am at "that stage" right now of needing some comfort food - at 63 such habits are hard to change - my partner is much younger than me so he doesnt really appreciate all the fuss I am making! Actually he is the only motivation really because I want to be healthy longer to enjoy life with him - without him I would happily pig out and die quickly :twisted: [/QUOTE]
