[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 860177, member: 93179"] Like [USER=124172]@Daphne917[/USER] and [USER=126679]@DeejayR[/USER] I'm not an avid food measurer/calculator. I try to eat a varied low carb high(er) fat diet, and have cut out all sugary or starchy carby foods, except for mainly above ground vegetables and small portions of fruit, mainly berries. After an initial learning curve of checking nutritional information, I've always "guestimated", but also still make sure any processed foods (e.g. sausages, beefburgers) on our shopping list are suitably low carb. I currently aim for around 30 or so grams of carbs a day, but allow for 30-50 grams, eat plenty of fats and fatty foods, adding a bit more fat if I get hungry, and am currently watching portion size for my protein as I believe I've been having a bit too much. I still need to lose a fair bit of weight, but my glucose levels are generally pretty stable though slightly higher than I'd wish (fasting and pre meal within type 2 recommended levels, and happily post meal levels are mainly well within normal range) , and I've been more or less in ketosis since i started low carbing, so assume I must be doing [I]something[/I] right! :D Robbity [/QUOTE]
