[QUOTE="Sax, post: 2437363, member: 545530"] Adding to my earlier comment, I think I'd be uncomfortable in the extreme just contemplating trying to follow any low carb meal plan created by others, so you're braver than me in that regard. I took everything I ate normally at time of diagnosis, worked out carbs in each meal, and applied the below (Somewhat inspired by the hierarchy for hazardous chemical inventory management...): 1) Eliminate 2) Substitute 3) Reduce (or revise relative portions to other parts of meal) After several cycles of this I eventually have gotten to <120g/day reasonably consistently and not missing any meal options, as long as I budget my carbs sensibly for the day. Most of the meals that went in the eliminate bin initially, I've since found low carb substitutions or I find I don't miss that much anyway. [/QUOTE]
