My carbs are a little low and my fat is a little high but on the whole I think it looks good...:up:...

I need to get the after dinner snacking under control but I'm not going to sweat it until day 3 or so when I will hopefully be in ketosis....

jem51 01-10-2009 09:26 AM

lise, since i don't eat sugar/starch, my carbs are never very high. the only ones i ate yesterday; 1/2 apple w pb and some strawberries in my smoothie. barry does not eat that many either. those are guidelines. i do, however, keep the protein at moderate levels and follow the fat guidelines. works great. too much protein is what increases my BS.

Not to me Carolyn, haha. That's partly why I don't post my menu very often, I eat weird more often than not. Whatever is around and sounds good. I am just glad to have 2 full days of LC under my belt again.

Hello lovely ladies and a very Happy New Year to you all!

I was BAD over Christmas and have had a few false starts since my return to France but today I am really up for it! I had a great bit of news...

I had a check up over the Christmas holidays back at my old doctors' surgery in Guernsey.

I was eating low carb for at least three or four months prior to my appointment - of course the nurse asked me about my eating habits and was horrified at the amount of fat, meat and eggs I eat these days. She told me that eating between 3 and 6 eggs a days was hazardous to health - as was lard and butter, and that this WOULD show up in my cholesterol results

Well - there was a change in my cholesterol levels! Last year it was 4.74 - I was eating very low fat at that point - and this year it's down to 3.06 (In the UK anything under 5 is good)

IN YOUR FACE, NURSE LADY!!!!!!!

Hope you are all well - I'm feeling a bit sluggish after the carb fest but this bit of news (PROOF positive that it works for me) has really cheered me up

Back on it!

xxx
