Yes, GP put DH on low carb and we saw a nutritionist. He could have 60 carbs a meal and 15 carbs a snack (3 snacks per day). I took my DDIL everything in the house that he couldn't eat.
Low carb eating works. You can eat bread, rice etc within your carb allowance. I bought a book for carb count, food scales and anything I could find to help. Reading labels was essential. And I kept a log of what we ate. After a short time, I lost my craving for anything sweet. I was very fortunate as my DH never complained. It certainly involves planning and lots of prep work but it works!

Hi,

I just wondered if anyone else does this and has success?

I normally start in May, but due to the weather being so awful recently, I've still been eating bread, potatoes and rice. I don't each much pasta (rarely).

Thankfully with the weather looking to be on the up! Fingers crossed....I will endeavour to cut out bread, pasta, rice, potatoes completely.

I rarely eat cake, biscuits or chocolate anymore, so hoping to give my body a bit of break over the Summer months.

What else would you cut out?

I try to eat healthy so chicken, fish, salads and veg.
I love Michael Mosley's fast 800 recipes.

Anyone else had success eating this way?

It's a good way of life once you get into it and saves money!
