Answer

My diet is pretty much keto. I do eat carbs, but I make sure I have a protein and a veggie at lunch and dinner. If you follow the carb guidelines your nutritionist gives you, you should be fine. This book helped me too. It’s not a recipe book, but more of a guide.

Answer

M diet hasn’t changed much from before I was diagnosed except I avoid sweets (but I wasn’t having these much anyway and still will very occasionally but a very small portion). The biggest change is that I eat more often (I wasn’t a snacker but now have 3 snacks per day) and every time I meet with endocrinologist and dietician they seem to want me to eat MORE carbs. 
So a typical day: 
Breakfast: Toast & eggs w coffee 
Snack: Fruit and nuts
Lunch: wrap w protein and veggies. Sometimes add a fruit w yogurt
Snack: something with protein, carbs and fat. Maybe cheese, nuts and a few crackers 
Dinner: meat, potatoes, veg 
Snack: 1/2 banana and cereal
And that’s still a little low on carbs for their preference. They want me between 45-60g carbs for meals and 15 at snacks. They’ve been ok with me having a little less carbs at meals and slightly more at snacks since I’m not always hungry enough for a meal w that many carbs and I find it easier to spread it throughout the day. 
Hope that helps!

Answer

Yogurts brands and flavors vary so much in carbs. Be careful and read labels. 
Berries are a great one for craving sweets. Sugar free pudding. 
Unsweetened vanilla almond milk is super low carbs. Great for cereal or cooking. Takes getting used to for drinking. 
Salads. Cottage cheese.

Answer

Something I have no idea what is called in English. I Googled and someone said it's close to quark 🤔
I have that for my first breakfast - sometimes with a banana.
Then I eat two or three crispbread with cheese or a low sugar chocolate spread (I found one that is expensive as fuck, but I miss my Nutella so much I eat a shit ton of it).
Then I have rye bread or salad for lunch.
Afternoon snack is often crispbread again in lack of better alternatives.
And then whatever we can find for dinner.
All of it is hopelessly boring and I am constantly hungry 🤷🏻‍♀️
