It’s Friday and day 5 of my latest low carb regime. Last night Sharon cooked up a mean mince dinner and for the first time I wasn’t immediately on the hunt for dessert afterwards.

I’ve had my daily intake of bacon and sausages with a Coke Zero and am feeling nicely full at the moment, and I have a Red Bull drink to look forward to in a short while.

When I’ve been low-carbing before and desperately needed that ’something else’ to eat I have found the Sugarfree Superstore to have a great range of products. I would especially recommend the Woodies Bars, the DeBron Chocolate Wafers and the Bellinea Chocolate Covered Wafers - but don’t fall into the trap I have sometimes and end up eating bucket fulls of these things thinking they are safe. It is best to use them sparingly to help through the difficult times.
