He is finding it tough at the moment. We are trying to find alternatives and learn to make those changes that need to happen and he is eating well just resents it all and sees eating as a chore at the moment :( I'm trying to come up with suggestions but he loves sauce with everything... gravy, cheese sauce, ketchup, chinese sauces, curries etc etc, this he is finding tough. We have found a few items which are great replacements but it is a learning curve as to what he can and cannot tolerate. I'm trying my best but sometimes I find it hard to cheer him up as like I said he is finding it tough at the moment (he is sick of stir fry veg).

I’m trying to look at it as an adventure finding new and healthier meals. My big thing is I had a crazy sweet tooth love ice cream could easily sit and eat a full tub. I have good day and bad it’s hard I walked past the chip shop yesterday and wanted to cry not because I wanted any but more the thought I could just have what I wanted.just don’t give in. It makes it a lot easier knowing people care and want to help. I’ve been looking for LCHF recipes they do a nice cheese one it might help.

Take a look at the food threads on here for inspiration. I found the Diet Doctor and Joe Wicks body coach useful for low carb recipe ideas. Also, some of the Tom Kerridge dopamine diet recipe are good.
Good luck xxx
