[QUOTE="Merluna, post: 331204, member: 49918"] Hi BBW! I have not long been diagnosed and was a real carby before! I loved fresh white bread and butter, potato and best of all pasta! I have found that with some items there are alternatives such as celeriac or sweet pot to substitute spuds, burgen soya and linseed bread is really lovely and whole wheat pasta! I have been really disciplined with myself and although my levels are not down as low as I would like they are 100% better than they were! What surprised me was when we went out for a Chinese on sat, I was dreading the rice in a massive bowl for all to share! Would I be able to resist!! Well turns out yes!!! I had 3 prawn crackers, chicken and mushroom soup starter and I ordered myself 2 main course meat dishes, made sure they were not sweet sauces stuffed my face with tender beef and cashew chicken and didn't miss the rice one bit! You can do it! Just find alternatives that suit you, I also find I crave the old carbs less now too and feel loads better and have lost 1/2 a stone in 2 weeks! Oh yes and for those sweet moments Harley's do low sugar jellies with only 1g of carb! Be careful tho as the sweetener can have a laxative effect if you have too much! I especially like the blueberry and blackberry one! You will get there be strong :) [/QUOTE]
