Re: low carb diet - have lost 50 pounds or so since novemberFrom: donna (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 19 Mar 2001 10:08:10 -0600 (CST)
I am not on a specific diet - my endo/nutrionist has me on 150 carbs and 40 grams of fat (not to exceed in a day) Keeping a food journal really helps and you can plan your meals out...get a good food count book, learn what vegetables and fruits are lower in carbs and glycimic index - arm yourself with information. I still have sweets from time to time and don't feel deprived or the need to gorge; because I plan for them if I have a sweet than I load up on lower carbs for supper...I love green beans and will eat a can or more at a time with my supper also asparagus and strawberries...good luck At Fri, 2 Mar 2001, Kimberly wrote: > >Laurie, > >Your ketone strip results are going to vary at different times of the >day.
