Hi I am new here, but have had type 2 for two years. The last 18 months i have been seriously unwell with mental health issues and my diet took a back step. In this time i have been eating everything i shouldn't and have developed a sugar addiction. i have sugary carbs at every meal and in between constantly. I also notice that if i have one bar of chocolate it doesn't satisfy and i can easily eat 4-5 bars at one go. I notice withdrawal symptoms if i try to cut back.

So my question as I am feeling better with my mental health is where do i begin to cut back . I look at some of the eating programs and from the amount I eat i reckon it will be like going cold turkey.

Any thoughts
 
I switched from milk chocolate to dark, 85%, and found I couldn't eat so much.
I thought hard about the foods I loved and found lower carb swaps for most of them.
And I found a few low carb cake recipes for the bad days (sometimes that was every day).

I mostly use this site, but you can search for keto recipes.
