| | | I've been thinking hard about this one. Theres no particular food I crave. I don't really like very sweet things so I don't miss them. I eat most things such as rice, potatoes and pasta in limited (weighed) quantities. Half a thin based pizza has about 30 carbs and make a good lucnch with a salad.
What I miss is being able to eat the occasional 'over the top meal'
On our last skiing holiday before diagnosis. ( I probably had sky high BG at the time) We had a complete fondue meal:
Cheese fondue with unlimited bread,
Beef and duck fondue green salad, large dish of big fat chips(fries).
chocolate fondue with fruit, marshmallows and cake.
We had far too much and probably sent back more than we ate, but thats part of its attraction(glutonny? ). I have no idea how I would bolus for a meal like that, and its actually the fat rather than the carbs which I see as the main 'villain' in this meal. |

| | | Wonderful sourdough bread; really good chocolate cake, cherry pie. I can do well without the sweets but things like bread, pasta, rice, those are staples! I am a really great cook (so i have been told) and I miss the meals I used to make. Thank goodness summer's coming; grilling season is my friend!

| | | Hi everyone. I'm newly diagnosed as a T2. It's been ten days or so and I'm really struggling with diet. I'm told, also, that I'm a good cook...inherited that from my mother. So far the things that I miss the most are the starches like bread, potatoes, rice and pasta. How do you eat gumbo without white rice? How do you live without pasta at least three times a week? What do you eat with steak if not a big baked potato stuffed with butter and sour cream? Giving up sweets has bothered me some, but not too much. But those biscuits and grits for breakfast......
I guess the worst part is having to cook food that I can't eat for my family. They shouldn't be deprived because of me.
Sigh...I suppose I'll get used to it, but it bites!

| | | The thing I miss most, is just fancying something, even an apple or an orange and just picking it up and eating it.. I miss picking up a menu and choosing something with no ifs ands or buts... I miss going to the coffee shop and deciding to have a pretty num num with it...also about 10-20 other foods that were staples to me.. yes I can have small portions of them now, but I want normal portions..
One of the saddest things is that when I do taste them now, they don't taste the same at all....boo hoo
