Hi Leanne. I can totally relate to the 'can't have just one' syndrome. I've eaten a block of sugar free chocolate, because it was there, and I had a square every couple of days. In the past, the house was full of exotic chocolates and I'd eat a block a day, easy, or eat a tub of ice cream in one sitting. I used to have terrible indigestion, I'd wake up choking on bile. The doctor gave me meds, but I felt like it was better to treat the cause, so I tried to watch what I ate late at night. When I travel to the US, their food always made it worse. My last trip, I was there 3 weeks and far from perfect, although I still tried to be good. I didn't have any issues, my secret horde of Quikeeze was left untouched.
Organised in what way ? I think the thing you're buying is a mixmaster that also cooks your food ? In which case you mean, with getting meals ready ? I work from home, so I have all the time in the world to cook my family dinner before my wife gets home, but, the easiest way to avoid sugar, I've found, is to just do meat and veg. I do fish twice a week, we do lots of lamb ( it's lamb we raised, the freezer is full of it ), and then some chicken here and there ( I will do kievs, although I bet the bread crumb has sugar in it ). For breakfast, I have prosciutto and mushrooms, every day. I am a creature of habit. But, if I was pressed for time, I'd have toast with avocado, that's one tip I got from the book that I have come to quite enjoy.
Are you trying to find ways to make quick meals for a family ? A slow cooker is a good option for that in general, just make your own sauces ( which don't have to be elaborate ), because I'm sure the 'slow cooker' packets in the supermarkets will have sugar.
