[QUOTE="ConradJ, post: 869581, member: 66676"] And, in reply to the original question, that is exactly why I am taking the lower carbohydrate route... I'm not in a position to undertake such exercise as mentioned by all those who do. Like @ Heathenlass and others, I was an "Eat Well" carboholic and that was fine for 20 years; but things change and I didn't (I was ignorant of such things) and so my body, mind and family started to pay the price. I am using low carb diets to give my body a rest, establish control and cleanse it of all the toxins I seem to have built up. Do I find it difficult or a chore? Absolutely not. In fact my wife and I are discovering a world of gorgeously colourful and tasty foods and beverages that have left us both feeling healthier, more energised and less dominated by the need to snack than ever before. Do I intend to eat coffee and walnut cake for my 45th birthday? You bet! It's just that now I know what and how to bolus to ensure I won't see my BGs shoot through the stratosphere. Do I intend to eat some more 41% full fat soft cheese New York Cheesecake from Waitrose when I next really feel like a treat? You bet. But in the meantime, I will continue to low carb and reap the rewards of a better me. [/QUOTE]
