I’m ploughing my way the the huge amount of info here. It’s very helpful (and confusing) and I’ve e mailed myself some links to look at later.
I’ve been (trying to) eating low carb for about 7 weeks, have lost 6 kgs up to last week, this week it isn’t moving. I stopped Metformin a couple of weeks ago, so I seriously have to make this work for me and lose at least another 9-10 kgs.
My main question is this - does everyone contributing on this forum weigh their food to work out the carbs? Up to now I’ve sort of decided on a meal with no obvious carbs and prepared it. Should I keep a diary of what I’m eating and weigh it? I must say that in the past I’ve avoided doing this when trying to diet because the more I think about food, the hungrier I am. I have a horrible feeling that I’m going to have to be more controlled about my meals.
I’m cooking everything from scratch, no low carb bread here that I can find, or special low carb ‘pastry’ etc. I just ordered some psyllium flour and xanthum for future meals.
