Organic cottage cheese and a plum

This is so encouraging! I am already planning my low carb ‘elimination diet’ to find out what I can tolerate. Last time I did this I used an app to track my carbs and had <50g carbs a day so will do the same again. Thank you for sharing your experience, it really helps.
