Me too, but since cherries and strawberries came into season I've  
virtually bankrupted myself buying the things (seriously!  I think I  
have an addiction).  I struggle to find a line on the amount of fruit  
I can eat before I start feeling groggy, so I usually tend to be  
cautious.  Fortunately the fruits I like most are relatively low  
carb, or as least it's not practical to over-eat on them so I don't  
do too bad.

I don't mind eating a mostly meat and veg diet.  In fact I only  
bother to prepare veg if I'm hungry - if I prepare some meat and eat  
it before I do any veg, often I don't bother.  I'm sure I could quite  
easily go a week with no veg if I had a supply of cooked meat.  But  
as it happens I eat plenty of veg, and it's surprising how much  
variety you can still get if you hunt out different veg at the  
shops.  Unless you're really carb-intolerant, you can have a  
different root (just one) each day of the week, with one or two  
different types of leafy veg and maybe something more unusual.  Just  
have to be prepared to eat anything.
