[QUOTE="Spiral, post: 96735, member: 19371"] I think there is sometimes a misconception about low carb also being low fat, and having something with a higher fat content will probably make you feel full for longer. When I was looking for a diet I could stick to I paid a visit to the bookshop to look at cookery books with pictures in of the diets I was considering - I need to know it looks like something I would like to eat. I have bought several vegetarian low carb cooker books as well as some low GI books too. If you don't enjoy it, you won't stick to it. You need to find a diet you can stick to for the rest of your life, which is how long you will be diabetic. As a vegetarian low carber I have found that I need to be much better planned and that I have needed to plan snacks as well. My snacks include macadamia nuts (the roast salted ones hit most of the same spots as a packet of Walkers ready salted), decent cheese, almonds and hard boiled eggs. I also have a few very low carb higher protein shakes/smoothies that I make up in advance and can drink and these things also fill me up. My luxury treats include Green and Black 70% minimum chocolate and some very nice Marks and Spencer Swiss chocolate and various other brands. A single square does not do bad things to my blood sugar. I have carried out extensive tests on high quality chocolate over recent months, using my colleagues at work to use up the excess, so that I'm not tempted to scoff the lot :roll: :oops: [/QUOTE]
