I’m trying my best with hacks and feeling loads better when I do.

ACV before meals - fine when I remember!

Veggie starter - most often a few raw veg stolen from the pile I’m chopping for lunchboxes before dinner! Less good at this for breakfast/lunch

Exercise after meals - this rarely fits in with my life.

Savoury breakfast - I love porridge but have switched to a high fibre lower carb grain mix (freekeh; rye kernels; steel cut oats) and am having with nut butter and either and egg or some cottage cheese. Other days I like a slice of dark rye bread with sliced egg or sandwich meat and some veg.

Carbs last - doing ok with this, but had curry last night and eating my saag, then my paneer then my chapatis didn’t really work so I sort of shifted the balance of each mouthful.

Sugar as dessert not on its own - easy for me I’ve never been a sweet snacker

No transformed fruit - also easy for me. I hate smoothies because I hate bananas and they always sneak in.

I’m too much of a wimp for a monitor like Zoe but I had gestational diabetes in 2 pregnancies so I’m at lifelong higher risk of type 2.

I am definitely feeling less bloated and less tired and cranky in the afternoons. Aiming for more of this and weightloss a bonus.

Sorry if there’s already a GG thread! Keen to hear how everyone else doing with their hacks.

I am!
I have to do my ACV first thing before breakfast. Doing great with the savoury breakfasts & noticed a huge improvement in hunger & cravings.
Hardest one for me is probably movement after eating.
My reason is that I'm scared of becoming diabetic. I've put on a lot of weight but have lost 10lbs since September & am eating some lovely food!
