Carbs are definitely my enemy. Eating right is the hardest thing in my life. I was raised on meat and potatoes. Lots of potatoes. LOL. I never ate a salad until I was 45 years old, unless you count the lettuce, tomato, etc., on a big fat cheeseburger! I never got more than 25-30 pounds over my high school weight, which was fine considering my height (6'-3"
, but my bad dietary ways messed me up over time. I was diagnosed at 45 with Type 2 diabetes. Found out in a physical where they did some blood work.
Anyway, I had to change my ways. I quit drinking beer. I tried to cut out the sweets. That was a battle. I cut the carbs. Even bigger battle. I love bread. Eventually, I pulled it together, and finally got myself off of the diabetes meds through diet and exercise. I'm 30 pounds lighter and feeling good.
You mentioned cauliflower. That has been a miracle food for me.
I've used as a substitute for potatoes for years now. It's great roasted with some garlic and olive oil. Break it up, mix with oil and garlic, season the way you like, roast in oven at 425. 30 minutes. Modify it if you like. Lots of recipes for this online.
Cauliflower makes a pretty good pizza crust, too.
