[QUOTE="DianaRose, post: 1126835, member: 149752"] Hi I'm a veggie too and was diagnosed a year ago. Such a shock and worrying about what I can eat. Well to be honest I have kept up with what I ate before excluding anything high in carbs and sugar. I still have baked potatoes but small new ones (Bannisters Farm Littl'uns with loads of butter.:) I still make lentil shepherds pie but with frozen mash as it has half the carbs. I have rice Basmati and wholegrain but I wash it well before I cook it after it has been cooked as it washes away the starch. We don't have much pasta now and if we have veggie pies we just have veg with it instead of spuds. Rose Elliot has some brilliant cook books which I am sure you know. Her Low carb diet cook book is helpful. Basically if you know your carbs and keep them low I aimed for 150 a day which brought my blood sugars etc etc down and I lost weight. My calories I aim for 1500. I don't think much lower is good for you but that is another discussion. If you need anymore help please get in touch as I know what I felt like when I was diagnosed last year. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
