Both of which are not desirable. Thanks for the list Chris! There's several on there I never would have guessed. The carbs I bought today to last me 3 days are: - 2 round lettuce - a bag of baby spinach - a punnet of cherry tomatoes - 3 red peppers - 6 kiwi and a punnet of apricots (which is 1/3 the fruit I normally buy). Will see how it goes. I also reduced my carb intake today by about a third and *think* I noticed an improvement in the time I went before feeling hungry.

Why not get yourself a whole fruit juicer? I use it to get raw veg in my diet and it only takes a few seconds to create a tasty and healthy snack.
