Hello!
I've tried low carbing for the past six weeks and honestly I just don't think it's for me. The high fat triggers my ibs and even though the hunger subsides I miss my fruit and rice.
I lost two stone with slimming world but my bs levels were sky high still!
I've since put all of that back on. I tried calorie counting and did well in the first week after that I was again really irritable and fed up.
So what I'm looking for is something where I CAN eat carbs and count them for insulin.. but for example I had nuts, chicken Pitta bread, chips and a corn on the cob today and needed twenty units of fast acting. I find that depressing as I know the insulin is a fat building hormone.. I just don't know what to do.
If I go back to slimming world it's all low fat, unlimited carb... so I'd have to make myself not eat many carbs... kinda defeats the plan.
I don't see myself doing low carb anymore I just can't carry on with a dodgy tum and I'm really not enjoying it.
I'm fed up because I just want to focus on losing weight but it's always a case of what's my levels doing?!
Any advice welcome. X
